Lake

One quiet morning
On a sunburnt lake
With a quiet mourning
The earth did shake
The water bubbled
A gust of wind blew
But I didn’t notice
I was looking at you
The mountains rumbled
And the sky was bright
I want to hold you
Till day is night
Everything wonderful
Everything wrong
Darling let's drown
Them all out with a song
Your skin is the moon
And your eyes the lake 
They’ll never accept us
Because we won't be fake
Stay with me Stay with me
In the sweet morning dew
And the bullfrogs singing
I love you
In this garden of eden
Let's spend the night
They say that we’re wrong
But the birds say we’re right
Let's go in the water
And lie in the sun
As long as we’re happy
We’ve already won
