          G         D          G 
Come with me to the forgotten lake, 
      C                      G                D 
Where covered wagons and the wings of missing planes, 
Am                            Em 
Float between blind fish underneath the velvet waves. 


               G    D               G 
Strange lights fly across the rocky beach, 
C                                G                 D 
Girls in white nightgowns wander barefoot in their sleep, 
        Am                       Em 
And the vapors of dreams wind in circles 'round their feet. 


C     G 
Down, down, float them down, 
Am             Em 
Let the waters float them down, 
   G               D           G 
To where they'll remember everything.   


G, D, G, C, G, D, Am, Em, 
  

       G            D              G 
Golden flash at the corner of your eye, 
      C                       G                 D 
Those shadows that climb your darkened walls at night, 
     Am              C              G       D, G 
They open a door lit with forgotten light. 


        G         D                G 
In dark water the grey veil falls away, 
      C                              G             D 
We'll see with closed eyes and drift softly in the rain, 
     Am                                Em 
Like dragonflies in love, we'll dance across the silver waves. 


C     G          
Down, down, float us down, 
Am             Em 
Let the waters float us down, 
   G             D           G 
To where we'll remember everything.
