John Smith - Great Lakes Lyrics
I get into the car, drive away from the lifeSuddenly certain she won't be my wifeAnd the jewellery I gave herRemains in the bottom of a drawIn Some room I won't enterWith a cold unchristened floorThe man she is leaving, he stands by the doorWeeping at wordsHey brother, she said them beforeSo I go to the water, it is time that I needOh my hearts wears a fancy dress, burst at the seamsAll that had mattered and all that I've seenDiving into the great lakes of loveIt was foolish resistance 'til I heard in the distanceThe drums of the band, they were beating persistentlyLetting me know it's nothing but time to move onPerhaps I'll see her around, hair up top downAnd I could watch silently, making no soundIt would soften the blow to leave without saying HelloSo I go to the water, it is time that I needLove is nothing, love is everything, it's never in betweenAll that had mattered and all that I've seenDiving into the great lakes of loveThe willow will bend and the wind it will bellowStraight, straight to the shoreThe lake is deceptionShe waits in the shallowsSwim, swim out for moreSo I go to the water, it is time that I needOh my heart wears a fancy dress, burst at the seamsAll that had mattered and that I've seenDiving into the great lakes of loveI'm falling into the great lakes of love.
