Lyrics
On the shore of the lake, an 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 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 'til 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 now?
Oh, my darling, where do we go?
Ah, never mind, never mind
And what do we do now?
Oh, never mind, never mind
Oh, my sweet darling, never mind
