The Ancient Lake

Big trees do break the sky like shattered glass
I held my breath until your last
Now the sign above the drive reads «Don't Trespass»
Once in living red, now dried to black
The natives say that this great land does hide
An ancient lake where dead souls reside
Such cruel black no have ever seen
And yet each night we dive in in our dreams
So long to the land of lovers
So long with the memory I keep
I think I’ll find those hidden waters
I think I’ll drift off to sleep
The sleepless moon knows more than any sun/son
He’s seen all good men come undone
And he knows full-well my dreams will never do
I’ll find that lake and my lover too
The owls alone do know the way I see
Few living know that speak
They’ll take me to the very water’s edge
I will no longer hold my breath
So long to the land of lovers
So long with the memory I keep
I think I’ll find those hidden waters
I think I’ll sink into the deep
Big trees do break the sky like shattered glass
I held my only love at last
