Lyrics The Lake - Aqualung

The Lake

This house is full of secrets
This house smells of ghosts
Dreams that never woke
Dreams that never woke
Nightmares never spoke aloud
Outside the water’s black
This one won’t throw back
A lifetime is too long
A lifetime is too long
Let’s say no more about it
Listen to me
I can only say this once
Are you listening
See these empty hands
Knowing it was all for you
But I’ll see you again
Down by the lake
Sleeping beauty stares
The whole world could be hers
But after all these years
After all these years
I’ll say no more about it
Listen to me
I can only say this once
Are you listening
See these empty hands
Knowing it was all for you
Til I see you again
Yes, I’ll see you again
When I see you again
Down by the lake
This house smells of ghosts
