Song of the Lake

On the shore of the lake

The old man sat and watched a woman bathing

With its golden touch

The light was such

That the moment was worth saving

And he sang the song of the lake

The song of the lake

And all the king's horses, and–

Oh, never mind, never mind

And he knew that he would dissolve

If he followed her into the lake

But he also knew that if he remained upon the shore

He would, in time, evaporate

He sang the song of the lake

The song of the lake

And all the king's horses–

Ah, never mind, never mind

And he knew that even though he had found Heaven

Such as described in the ancient scrolls

Still he felt the drag of Hell

Upon his old and mortal soul

And he sang the song of the lake

And all the king's horses–

Oh, Lord, never mind, never mind

For every evil under the sun

If there be one

Seek it till you find

For there's either a remedy or there is none

And if there is none

Never mind, never mind

Never mind, never mind

Nah, never mind

Never mind

Oh, never mind, never mind, never mind

'Cause all the king's horses and all the king's men

Couldn't put us back together again

Oh, my darling, well, where will we go, oh, now?

Oh, my darling, where do we go?

Ah, never mind, never mind

And what do we do now?

Oh, never mind, never mind

Well, oh, my sweet darling, never mind
