"Deep Forbidden Lake" lyrics

On the lake
The deep forbidden lake
The old boats go gliding by
And the leaves
Are falling from the trees
And landing on the logs and I
See the turtles
Heading for the bog
And falling off the log
They make the water splash
And feeling no backlash
They climb the happy banks

On the boats
The old and creaky boats
The shoreline goes gliding by
And the wind that was a dying breeze
Is making the banners fly
See the colors floating on the sky
The pride of the captain's eye
As he glides his slender craft inside
And opens up the door

On the coast
The long and tempting coast
The cards on the table lie
And a speech, so eloquent in reach
Was made by a passerby
Passing by the way between here and left behind
And it ripples through the crowds
Who run and cast their doubts
In the deep forbidden lake

Yes, it echoes through the crowds
Who run and cast their doubts
In the deep forbidden lake
