The Ancient Lake by Joseph Huber Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Big trees do break the sky like shattered glass
I held my breath until your last
Now the sign above the drive reads "Don't Trespass"
Once in living red, now dried to black

[Verse 2]
The natives say that this great land does hide
An ancient lake where dead souls reside
Such cruel black no [open nights?] have ever seen
And yet each night we dive in in our dreams

[Chorus 1]
So long to the land of lovers
So long with the memory I keep
I think I'll find those hidden waters
I think I'll drift off to sleep

[Verse 3]
The sleepless moon knows more than any sun/son
He's seen all good men come undone
And he knows full-well my dreams will never do
I'll find that lake and my lover too
[Verse 4]
The owls alone do know the way I see
Few living know that [?] [men?] [do?] speak
They'll take me to the very water's edge
I will no longer hold my breath

[Chorus 2]
So long to the land of lovers
So long with the memory I keep
I think I'll find those hidden waters
I think I'll sink into the deep

[Outro]
Big trees do break the sky like shattered glass
I held my only love at last
