Lady of the Lake

When I was a boy, I knew the lady of the lake

And I was her favorite child

She wore a white gown, her yellow hair hanging down

And her voice, like a shadow, was gentle and kind

Every day to the sea we would go, hand-in-hand

And build great white castles

Civilizations in sand

And I would paint her pictures with a seaweed brush

And gather seashell jewels for her

As stars watched over us

Sometimes we'd set sail straight for the sun

As down the dome of sky it fled

And sometimes we'd try to catch it as it spun

In the deep-sea comfort of its sea-green bed

The lady of the lake is gone, lost with childhood's mind

But the intoxication lingers on and I remember the time

When I would paint her pictures with a seaweed brush

And gather seashell jewels for her

As stars watched over us

When I was a boy, I knew the lady of the lake

When I was a boy, I knew the lady of the lake

When I was a boy, I knew the lady of the lake

When I was a boy, I knew the lady of the lake
