Lyrics

[00:11.97] i get into the car, drive away from the life
[00:18.41] Suddenly certain she won't be my wife
[00:23.88] And the jewellery I gave her
[00:27.22] Remains in the bottom of a draw
[00:32.19] In Some room I won't enter
[00:35.50] With a cold unchristened floor
[00:38.64] The man she is leaving, he stands by the door
[00:44.58] Weeping at words
[00:46.83] Hey brother, she said them before
[00:53.03] So I go to the water, it is time that I need
[00:58.29] Oh my hearts wears a fancy dress, burst at the seams
[01:04.80] All that had mattered and all that I've seen
[01:12.04] Diving into the great lakes of love
[01:19.79]
[01:21.30] It was foolish resistance 'til I heard in the distance
[01:27.77] The drums of the band, they were beating persistently
[01:33.75] Letting me know it's nothing but time to move on
[01:43.40]
[01:44.77] Perhaps I'll see her around, hair up top down
[01:51.69] And I could watch silently, making no sound
[01:57.64] It would soften the blow to leave without saying Hello
[02:05.61] So I go to the water, it is time that I need
[02:11.49] Love is nothing, love is everything, it's never in between
[02:17.71] All that had mattered and all that I've seen
[02:23.62] Diving into the great lakes of love
[02:30.05] The willow will bend and the wind it will bellow
[02:35.44] Straight, straight to the shore
[02:42.20] The lake is deception
[02:44.63] She waits in the shallows
[02:48.10] Swim, swim out for more
[02:52.47]
[03:02.53] So I go to the water, it is time that I need
[03:08.78] Oh my heart wears a fancy dress, burst at the seams
[03:16.00] All that had mattered and that I've seen
[03:21.31] Diving into the great lakes of love
[03:27.54] I'm falling into the great lakes of love.
