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
