Song Of The Lake

Song Of The Lake - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Lyrics by：Nick Cave

Composed by：Nick Cave/Warren Ellis

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

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

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

If there be 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 will we go?

Never mind never mind

And what do we do now?

Oh never mind never mind

Oh my sweet darling never mind
