Lyrics The Lake - Laurie Anderson

The Lake

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.
