I WANDER TO THE LAKE EACH PEACEFUL MORN
JUST HOPING TO SEE HER FACE
THEY SAY THE BEAUTIFUL LADY IS THERE
SHE HAD VANISHED WITHOUT A TRACE
HER LOVER HAD LEFT HER FOR ANOTHER YOU SEE
HE WAS HER ONLY LIGHT
SO SHE WALKED INTO THE FREEZING WATER
ONLY THE LAKE DOES KNOW HER PLIGHT
BUT LEGEND SAYS SHE WILL RETURN
IF SHE SEES A LOVE THAT IS TRUE
MY WISH IS THAT SHE SEES MY HEART
LIKE HER MINE WAS SHATTERED TOO
I WAS LEFT ABANDONED JUST LIKE HER
MY PRINCESS WAS NOT FOR REAL
OUR LOVE TO HER WAS JUST A GAME
SO I KNOW THE TORMENT SHE FEELS
THIS IS MY FINAL JOURNEY TO THE LAKE
I DECIDED THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO SEE
FOR I WILL WALK INTO THE FREEZING WATER
TO SEE IF SHE WILL LOVE ME
I STRIPPED NAKED JUST BEFORE DAWN
THE FREEZING WATER CAUGHT MY BREATH
I COULD SEE A FIGURE APPEAR BEFORE ME
SO WITH A SMILE I WELCOMED MY DEATH
THEY DRAINED THE LAKE TO FIND MY BODY
NO ONE UNDERSTOOD WHY MY LIFE I DID FORSAKE
BUT THERE I WAS IN A WARM EMBRACE
IN THE ARMS OF THE LADY OF THE LAKE........
