The Forgotten Lake - The Handsome Family

Come with me to the forgotten lake

Where covered wagons and the wings of missing planes

Float between black fish underneath the velvet waves

Strange lights fly across the rocky beach

Girls in white nightgowns wander barefoot in their sleep

And the vapors of dreams winding circles 'round their feet

Down, down

Float them down

Let the waters float them down

To where they’ll remember everything

Golden flash at the corner of your eye

Though shadows that climb your darkened walls at night

They open a door lit with forgotten light

In dark water the gray veil falls away

We’ll see with closed eyes and drift softly in the rain

Like dragonflies in love, we’ll dance across the silver waves

Down, down

Float us down

Let the waters float us down

To where we’ll remember everything
