Song Of The Lake

On the shore of the lake, an old man sat
And watched a woman bathing
With its golden touch, the light was such
That the moment was worth saving

And he sang the song of the lake
The song of the lake
And all the king's horses and all
Ah, never mind, never mind

And he knew that he would dissolve
If he followed her into the lake
But also knew that if he remained
Upon the shore, he would, in time, evaporate

He sang the song of the lake
The song of the lake
And all the king’s horses
Ah, never mind, never mind

And he knew that even though he had found
Heaven
Such as described in the ancient scrolls
Still, he felt the drag of Hell
Upon his old and mortal soul

And he sang the song of the lake
And all the king's horses
Oh Lord, never mind, never mind

For every evil under the sun
If there be one, seek it till you find
For there's either a remedy or there is none
And if there is none, never mind, never mind
Never mind, never mind
Ah, never mind
Never mind

Oh never mind, never mind, never mind
Cause all the king’s horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put us back together again
Oh my darling, well, where will we go now?
Oh my darling, where do we go?
Ah, never mind, never mind
And what do we do now?
Oh, never mind, never mind
Oh, my sweet darling, never mind
