The Poet
[Verse 1] A poet and his love lived by a lake so dark, the surface of the waters like a galaxy of stars. They'd spend their days together down by the water's edge and for eternity, their love they did pledge. His love would say.... [Chorus] Ooooh, come near, my love Please come to my side, dear Ooooh, In my embrace, you'll find your peace [Verse 2] She'd inspire him with tales grand Into his rhymes he'd write lovingly by hand But one day, his love fell ill And the poet had to care for her On their bed so still And she'd say,,,, [Chorus] Ooooh, come near, my love Please come to my side, dear Ooooh, In your embrace, I'll find my peace [Verse 3] His love did pass Found her peace in his arms Now the poets life was robbed of all her charms At her grave he would stand. He could swear he'd hear her say.... [Chorus] Ooooh, come near, my love Please come to my side, dear Ooooh, In my embrace, you'll find your peace [Verse 4] Unknown to him, it was all a play Her illness a lie, a false display For all this time, the darkened lake Held something lurking beneath the wake [Bridge] He hadn't seen his wife that night, going to the lake serene. With outstretched arms, she walked ahead, as if walking in a dream As a siren voice said... [Chorus] Ooooh, come near, my love Please come to my side, dear Ooooh, In my embrace, you'll find your peace Her illness a lie, a false display For all this time, the darkened lake Held something lurking beneath the wake [Bridge] He hadn't seen his wife that night, going to the lake serene. With outstretched arms, she walked ahead, as if walking in a dream As a siren voice said... [Chorus] Ooooh, come near, my love Please come to my side, dear Ooooh, In my embrace, you'll find your peace your peace [Verse 5] One night, down by the darkened lake The poet looked forlorn When suddenly, his wife appeared With outstretched arms she welcomed him And she said... [Chorus] Ooooh, come near, my love Please come to my side, dear Ooooh, In my embrace, you'll find your peace [Outro] Beneath the waters, a darkness lurks Where eldritch might draws prey to it's murk The poet and his love now lie In the lake that still holds the sky
