The Lake Lyrics by Bryan John Appleby

Fire on the Vine

0

You said, don’t come by, I do not feel like talking
Not to you or anybody else
You write their names with a trembling, ragged finger
Upon the pane glass blinded by the frost
And the cold pulls you down
It pulls you down
Pulls you down, down, down
When I found you, your face it was not moving
Your eyes are ravaged, you’re the land beneath a plague
Wife and daughter caught weeping out on the water
When the storm fell heavy on the lake
And the waves pulled them down
Pulled them down
Pulled them down, down, down
But my brother, don’t let your lantern darken
Don’t be afraid for them
For oh my friend, there is nothing on the other side
We will grow old and plant for them a garden
When the growing’s done we’ll plunge like a stone to join them in the tide
