The Lady of the Lake

Lyrics

The Lady of the Lake

Another song drawing upon the mythology of Siren claiming a man, or just a story about a dragonfly.

I came upon the lake at early morn
A dragonfly appeared newly born
Urgent is the courtship flight
Of a dragonfly oh so newly born

I’m sure I heard her call my name
As gently rising from the waters came
The fairest maid my eyes had ever seen
Gently rising from the waters came

Although I knew this was not wise
I was held by the gaze of her blue eyes
I should have left there and then
I was held by the gaze of her blue eyes

The scent of passion filled the air
My head told my heart beware
All was lost I was captured there
The scent of passion filled the air

I ventured forth without control
To offer her my heart and soul
Her open arms drew me in
She took away my heart and my soul

I’m sure that I saw her weep
As she pulled me down into the deep
Milky breasts limbs entwined
We tumbled down into the deep

There’ll be no weeping at my wake
I’ve gone to join the lady of the Lake
I gave my life so I could live
With the Lady of the Lake

All good me you head my call
Take good care be sure you don’t fall
Honest, kind and gentle be
Take good care be sure that you don’t fall

For the Lady of the Lake
Or pray the lord your soul to take
Urgent be your courtship dance
You dragonfly oh so newly born
