The stars they shine so faint
Reflected off the lake
Don’t rock the boat
The slightest ripple scares them
The water sinks so cold
Hundred feet or more
A glacier came, carved her name,
See the echo
Let the stillness of the night
Away from noise and the man-made light
Teach me how to sail on,
through tomorrow
My love she warms the bed
Crystal dreams wrapped round her head
Strands she weaves, borne on the breeze
She’s floating
Now it’s time to sleep
Daylight starts to creep
Under eyelids, driving dreams
away-o
Let the stillness of the night
Away from noise and the man-made light
Teach me how to sail on
through tomorrow
Waterlilies close
until dawn they softly doze
Roots in the mud, a humble bud
seeking heaven
Glory glory be
when this bud the daylight sees
A lotus bold
finer than golden honey
Let the stillness of the night
Away from noise and the man-made light
Teach me how to sail on
through tomorrow
Balloon man rises wee
Someday he’ll visit me
He’ll find me here, just drifting
In the shallows
He’ll find me here, just drifting
In the shallows
In the shallows
In the shallows
