Lady In the Lake

She held tight to her photograph
 Entranced by it's mystery
 The sun it rose and set for days
 With echos of her agony
 What good's a heart without a home?
 And no one to call her own
 The waters rushed up to bathe her
 Of her time and drown the memories
 What's more beautiful than blood
 Caked on her velvet skin?
 The dress she wore that night remains
 Awash in scarlet sin
 A haunting tale of sorrow
 Underneath the murky deep
 There's still a longing in those eyes
 It hasn't ceased to be
 Her broken spirit still exists
 The pain calls her up to rise
 And though I wanted to dismiss as a trick of light or in my mind
 Standing there so elegant she cries
 Sing to me and ease my troubles, boy
 This afterlife has known no joy
 Because a death of love took me before my time
 Sing to me and provide peaceful rest
 For though I'm gone I can't forget
 Sing a song and croon to me in the midnight
 Sing to me
 Her broken spirit still exists
 (Her broken spirit still exists)
 The pain calls her up to rise
 (The pain calls her up to rise)
 And though I wanted to dismiss as a trick of light or in my mind
 Standing there so elegant she cries
 Sing to me and ease my troubles, boy
 This afterlife has known no joy
 Because a death of love took me before my time
 Sing to me and provide peaceful rest
 For though I'm gone I can't forget
 Sing a song and croon to me in the midnight
 Sing to me
 Sing to me
 Sing to me
 Sing to me
