The Forgotten Lake Lyrics & Chords By 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 grey 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
