The Handsome Family - The Forgotten Lake

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
