The Lake - Laurie Anderson

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.
