"Middle Of The Lake" lyrics

"Middle Of The Lake"

I was never alone in the middle of the lake
I was always outside of my mind
And I never dreamed a dream I liked
And in the common rooms I cried
In rock 'n' roll there's a mighty long fall
Oh, there's a mighty loud call

I live my life in the middle of the night
My breath goes up and down counting time
By the light of day I fade away
And in the common rooms I cry
And rock 'n' roll, you call my name

I call me to the stage
Where I sing my little songs of
Love and pain, winds of change
Or simply singing, I'm singing in the rain
(Singing, singing, singing, singing, singing, singing)

You make it worth living this terrible life
I was burnt by the sun, frozen in ice
I was dead on arrival, missing in action, living a fraction
And in the common rooms the toil takes its toll
And rock 'n' roll, can you save my life?
Can you make me live forever?
Oh, save my life

Oh, I sing my songs
Of love and pain, winds of change
Or simply singing, I'm singing in the rain
Singing in the rain
Singing
