lyrics

There’s a house at the water’s edge
Beside the Lake of Dreams
Hidden in aspen and pine.
The house, if it’s haunted,
It’s with echoes of the years.
The nearer we draw,
The more we can hear desire.

Out on the dock
The child would speak into the night,
Prayers unrehearsed and true.
Ripples of broken light,
The autumn gentle breeze—
Who is this boy?
Who will he try to be?

She lived in the house just next to his,
Only child of a widow of five years.
How do you run and play with loss?
I don’t know,
But she found her way to dream.

As time passed she joined him in the night.
The wet grass, the starlight—
Skipping stones across the Lake of Dreams,
Their laughter filled the night.
Honest to God,
These were the best days of their lives.

Now in a photograph he keeps beside the fire,
Memories of years gone by.
Seasons have come and gone.
The house became their home.
With a son and two daughters,
They lived by the waters of hope.

What do you think of me
Now that you’ve known me,
Now that I’ve been your delight?
I have no regrets with you
But that we’d have longer.
Please, will you stay by my side?

As time passed she joined him in the night
The wet grass, the starlight—
Skipping stones across the Lake of Dreams,
Their laughter filled the night.
Honest to God,
These were the best days of their lives

Skipping stones across the Lake of Dreams,
Their laughter filled the night.
Honest to God,
These were the best days of their lives
