Lake from Glittering Cities by Susan Raven

Lake

Stand back, see what you’re making
With the thoughts in your head
They twist and turn like weeds on the riverbed
They call forth the future into the here and now
Your tongue is very silent your pain is loud

Heed the flow of the river as it runs
And put your trust in the midnight sun
It will awaken in your heart, feel no sorrow as you part
Way beyond where we are one

Please
Let me be the lady of your lake
I’ll swing the sword and cut the ties that bind you to the stake
Oh my love is real, so ride the waves and know that I am near
For a thousand years we have swum these tears

I kick back, watch you growing from a boy to man
You stand in your magnificence according to plan
My motives are clear and they’re getting more each day
I only want the truth from you, hear me say…

Heed the flow of the river as it runs
And put your trust in the source of will
It will awaken in your limbs and guide you to the brim
Way beyond where the night is still

Please
Let me be the lady of your lake
I’ll swing the sword and cut the ties that bind you to the stake
My love is real, so ride the waves and know that I am near
For a thousand years we have swum these tears

Yes I’ll be the lady of your lake
I’ll swing the sword and cut the ties that bind you to the stake
My love is real so ride the waves and know that I am near

I am near
