The Girl by the Lake

The Girl by the Lake - Max Stalling

The picture I have is you standing in front of a lake

There's sun on your face and you're smiling a way

That really gives nothing away

Just judging by the shadows it's noon or maybe one or two

You've got the rest of the day and your whole life to play

And the world is waiting on you

But I really just can't remember the night that you went away

It happened so fast so long in the past

Did I ever know this girl by the lake

Did I even know the girl by the lake

To live is to fly and I'm learning to try

But sometimes it's all such a chore

If the breeze doesn't come and clouds block the sun

You've got to work harder to soar

We're all here just a dancing

Like we know what we are trying to do

But the fact is you can't so you dance and you dance

Keep on moving till the music is through

There's nothing that says that you have to

No rules that say you must

And what may seem unfair is just fates way of daring

Us all to learn how to trust

It's sun on a butterfly's wings stretching them out to dry

And a breeze to help with the chore

But if the breeze doesn't come and clouds block the sun

You've got to work harder to soar

Well the picture I have is you standing in front of a lake

There's sun on your face and you're smiling a way

That really gives nothing away

Did I ever know this girl by the lake

Did I even know the girl by the lake
