Lyrics Like a Lake - Jim Guthrie

Like a Lake

I woke up and on the wall I saw light
It looked just like a lake
But it scared me
I don’t know why
And as I stared
I saw things
And it changed me
But something wasn’t right
With the light
Was I still dreaming?
So I got up and I walked over to this lake
And I saw people on the other side
It wasn’t hard to tell
They didn’t look all that well
So I called out ‘cause I thought I could help
But no one had eyes
So they couldn’t see
That no one had ears
So they couldn’t hear me
Then I felt the earth quake
As a voice from the lake
Spoke these words and it instantly calmed me
«I hear you call
I hear them all.»
Then it said:
«Life, she is a mystery
And there’s more to all of this that she ain’t telling me
So tonight it’s like a lake
Sit so still and pretty, makes your heart ache
But these days don’t it all just make your heart ache?»
