Angel of the Lake

Along a long and winding path across a lonesome elder bridge
Beneath the moonlight aftermath there in the heart beyond the ridge
Beside the lake of ancient dreaming stands a lady by a tree
And she's waiting always waiting there for me

You are the angel of the lake deep in the forest
I am the only one who knows the place you dwell
You are the queen of my elusive sweet illusions brought to life
And you rescue me, you rescue me tonight

And on the shore there in the night there comes a whisper and a chant
Beside a flaming firelight pen and paper in my hand
You are the only inspiration when the night becomes a strife
In the gloaming when the forest comes to life

You are the angel of the lake deep in the forest
I am the only one who knows the place you dwell
You are the queen of my elaborate illusions brought to life
And you rescue me, you rescue me tonight

Do you know why I still come seeking poetry and rhyme
In this amaranthine spot oh
Oh, I know I overdo it and I know I take my time
But this is all I've got

Yeah, fireflies with wanderlust arriving from afar
Whirling 'bout and lighting up the sky
Yeah, fairytales and angel dust colliding 'neath the stars
Gathering and greeting you tonight

Oh, you are the angel of the lake deep in the forest
I am the only one who knows the place you dwell
Yeah, you are the queen of my illustrious illusions brought to life
And you rescue me, you rescue me tonight
You rescue me tonight
