"The Lake" lyrics

"The Lake"

I walk accompanied by ghosts
I walk accompanied by ghosts

My father with his diamond eyes
His voice life size
He says follow me. Follow me

And I come sliding where I've been hiding
Out of the heart of a child

Meet me by the lake. Meet me by the lake
I'll be there. I'll be there

If only I had the time. To tell you how I climbed
Out of the darkness. Out of my mind
And I come sliding where I've been hiding
Out of the heart of a child

Sunrise comes across the mountains
Sunrise comes across the day
Sunsets sit across the lakeside
Sunsets across the Pyrenees

Out of the heart of a child
Out of the heart of a child
Out of the heart of a child

Meet me by the lake. Meet me by the lake
I walk accompanied by ghosts
