"Lake" - original song

► Listen on DSound

► Listen from source (IPFS)


My original lyrics, vocals and instrumentation: Guitar, ukulele, mouth harp, cheap keyboard organ voice and a hodgepodge of homemade percussion instruments. I have always been particularly happy with the entwining ukulele parts that come in over the chorus. A song about sinking down into the metaphorical lake.

Lake - lyrics

He tends towards flights of fancy
Then crashes down, again and again

His days can soon stretch into dreams
Follow that stream, closer to the source

His smile belies the storm that's brewing
While blue summer skies reflect in his eyes

The flood waters lurk
but the surface is clear
the surface must not break

He sinks down
to the bottom of the lake
He sinks down
to the bottom of the lake
to the bottom of the lake
