Capo 2nd Fret

G D G
Come with me to the forgotten lake,
C G D
Where covered wagons and the wings of missing planes,
Am Em
Float between blind fish underneath the velvet waves.

G D G
Strange lights fly across the rocky beach,
C G D
Girls in white nightgowns wander barefoot in their sleep,
Am Em
And the vapors of dreams wind in circles 'round their feet.

C G
Down, down, float them down,
Am Em
Let the waters float them down,
G D G
To where they'll remember everything.

G, D, G, C, G, D, Am, Em,

G D G
Golden flash at the corner of your eye,
C G D
Those shadows that climb your darkened walls at night,
Am C G D, G
They open a door lit with forgotten light.

G D G
In dark water the grey veil falls away,
C G D
We'll see with closed eyes and drift softly in the rain,
Am Em
Like dragonflies in love, we'll dance across the silver waves.

C G
Down, down, float us down,
Am Em
Let the waters float us down,
G D G
To where we'll remember everything.
