Lady Of The Lake

What is the attraction with the lake?
Why are we drawn to its side?
Is there something mysterious about it?
Is there something it's trying to hide?

Does it hold the deep dark secret
Of a lady in a flowing white gown?
Was she the victim of some evil doing?
Did she unceremoniously drown?

This is how the old story goes
You can believe it or call it poppycock
A jealous lover tied her feet to a boulder
Threw her off the end of the dock

Now every evening just about sundown
As a mist starts to rise from the water
The shadowy figure of a woman appears
The image of somebody's daughter

The tortured spirit of the “Lady of the Lake”
With her mournful cry for release
Forever to rise from the lake at sundown
Nevermore to rest in peace!
