Great Lakes - John Smith

I get into the car, drive away from the life

Suddenly certain she won’t be my wife

And the jewellery I gave her

Remains in the bottom of a draw

In Some room I won’t enter

With a cold unchristened floor

The man she is leaving, he stands by the door

Weeping at words

Hey brother, she said them before

So I go to the water, it is time that I need

Oh my hearts wears a fancy dress, burst at the seams

All that had mattered and all that I’ve seen

Diving into the great lakes of love

It was foolish resistance 'til I heard in the distance

The drums of the band, they were beating persistently

Letting me know it’s nothing but time to move on

Perhaps I’ll see her around, hair up top down

And I could watch silently, making no sound

It would soften the blow to leave without saying Hello

So I go to the water, it is time that I need

Love is nothing, love is everything, it’s never in between

All that had mattered and all that I’ve seen

Diving into the great lakes of love

The willow will bend and the wind it will bellow

Straight, straight to the shore

The lake is deception

She waits in the shallows

Swim, swim out for more

So I go to the water, it is time that I need

Oh my heart wears a fancy dress, burst at the seams

All that had mattered and that I’ve seen

Diving into the great lakes of love

I’m falling into the great lakes of love
