While Lady West Lake Wanes,

While Lady West Lake Wanes

I found an angel in oh, so many ways

In Serene August moonlight on a sail dock of West Lake

Sparkling in the night, feeling so right

Starlight in her eyes from aurora northern skies

With no word or sign, the summer rushed by

While the cold air would close in, fantasy warmed our minds

Distance, we knew, would swell between us

Far off, in the wind, ‘tween reality and the rush

(Wounded spirits in waves of September blew in)

Look my way, take my hand

It’s alright

We’ll say goodbye all over tonight

Though I never kissed her, two ships sailed as one

On a calm lake of honesty lifetimes from where we’d come

Her nature, truly wonderful like the sunset and the moon glow

But I felt, from each wave still, imminent autumn frost winds blow

(Setting sun, like the anchor, sank so low)

Look my way, take my hand

It’s alright

Don’t say goodbye as we nearly kiss in the rain

Now I’m dropping the mast and drying my tears

Holding the anchor and drowning in fear

Look my way, take my hand

It’s alright

Say goodbye all over tonight

Look my way, take my hand

Cause it feels so right

Don’t say goodbye while we nearly kiss in the rain

While Lady Lake wanes
