James - The Lake

He said I must be dreaming
But I thought I heard the sound
The sound that lovers make
As they drop down from the window
Quiet as cats, across the courtyard
Moving from shadow to shadow
Past the guards to the forest
So quiet in her still reflection
Drawing them down, drawing them down to the lake
To the centre of her attention
Steal the moon tonight
Before the morning
Steal the moon tonight
I just love a good mystery
And on the West Bank a boat is being pulled
Across the sands they move so softly
Slip into water
Oars dip, don't break the moon's reflection
And drift like a cloud
To the centre
Beneath her cool attention
Still water
Still water
Steal the moon tonight
Before the morning
Steal the moon tonight
I want to drown in your moon dream
I've seen you rising from shore to shore
I want to drown in your moon dream
I've seen you rising
Steal the moon tonight
Shine
Shine
Shine
