Jet Black Lake - Matt Costa

When I first met you

Swimming in a jet black lake

When I first met you

You were the swan

A thin light shown through

Green and blue

You never spoke of leaving

One day you just flew

One day you just flew

One day you just flew

In a night so vivid

Over famous skies

Over intersecting avenues

And private drives

Over long deserted corners

Of Franklin Square

You never spoke of returning

One day I just knew

One day I just knew

One day I just knew

One day I just knew

I knew where to find you

Despite sleight of hand

Despite the bad weather

Despite the false starts

Despite the marble statues

That crumbled in my way

And though you look indifferent

The feeling hasn’t changed

Feeling hasn’t changed

Feeling hasn’t changed

Feeling hasn’t changed
