James - The Lake lyrics

He said I must be dreaming

But I thought I heard the sound

The sound that lovers make

As they drop down from the window

Quiet as cats, across the courtyard

Moving from shadow to shadow
Past the guards to the forest

So quiet in her still reflection

Drawing them down
Drawing them down to the lake

To the centre of her attention

Steal the moon tonight

Before the morning

Steal the moon tonight

I just love a good mystery

And on the West Bank a boat is being pulled

Across the sands they move so softly

Slip into water

Oars dip, don't break the moon's reflection

And drift like a cloud to the centre

Beneath her cool attention

Still water

Still water

Steal the moon tonight

Before the morning

Steal the moon tonight

I want to drown in your moon dream

I've seen you rising from shore to shore

I want to drown in your moon dream

I've seen you rising

Steal the moon tonight

Shine shine

Shine
