The Lake

He said I must be dreaming But I thought I heard the sound The sound that lovers make As they drop down from the window Quiet as cats, across the courtyard Moving from shadow to shadow Past the guards to the forest So quiet in her still reflection Drawing them down, drawing them down To the lake, to the centre of her attention Steal the moon tonight Before the morning Steal the moon tonight I just love a good mystery And on the West Bank a boat is being pulled Across the sands they move so softly Slip into water oars dip Don't break the moon's reflection And drift like a cloud to the centre Beneath her cool attention Still water Still water Steal the moon tonight Before the morning Steal the moon tonight I want to drown in your moon dream I've seen you rising from shore to shore I want to drown in your moon dream I've seen you rising Steal the moon tonight Shine Shine Shine
