Ballad of the Lake Lyrics
A poor boy met a girl one day
His heart would flutter as he would say:
“I’ll fight for you love, lady lonely
For honor and gold, a soldier I’ll be”
But the lady cared not for his gold
She’d fallen in love with this poorest boy
Who’d walk with her by the lake
And loved her every step they’d take
Late one night the poor boy spoke:
“Oh my love, I must go to war
This land is now mine to defend
But I’ll return for your hand.”
Oh how she cried, ’til her tears ran dry
For she knew that this meant goodbye
No boy ever returned from the fight
How she loved him, that final night
And when the morning came, with the rising sun
The soldier took his love in his arms one more time
And he whispered in her ear, a lullaby for her to hear
On restless nights, wide awake, the words echoed on the lake
“Oh my lady call to me
Say my name and you’ll find me in your dreams.”
Days went by, turned into years
The lady grew old with her fears
No other boy ever touched her heart
No other love ever tore her apart
And every night she’d walk on moonlit shores
Where she walked with her love so many nights before
Where he whispered in her ear, the song that brought her to tears
On restless nights, wide awake, the words still echo on the lake
“Oh my lady call to me
Say my name and you’ll find me in your dreams.”
“I hear you call to me
Say my name and you’ll find me in your dreams.”
“I hear you call to me
Say my name and you’ll find me in your dreams.”
“My lady call to me
Say my name and you’ll find me in your dreams.”
