Elysian Fields - Lady in the lake

Ⓛⓐⓓⓨ ⓘⓝ ⓣⓗⓔ ⓛⓐⓚⓔ - Ⓔⓛⓨⓢⓘⓐⓝ Ⓕⓘⓔⓛⓓⓢ

Bij wijze van uitzondering een muziekje in het engels. Omdat ik eraan moest denken door Ophelia als achtergrond bij het voorgaande gedicht van Peter. De lady in the lake waar Elysian Fields hier over zingt komt het water niet uit, ze bevindt zich 'aan de verkeerde zijde van het water'. Het is een tragische liefdesgeschiedenis, zoals zo vaak in songteksten.
(De complete tekst plaats ik onder de video.)

( #muziek #ElysianFields )

Used to go skinny dipping
Trapping love in a lake
Wading slowly
Gripping sun with a rake
Now the pool in your heart is frozen
And I never did learn how to skate
But it doesn't matter anyway
I'm on the wrong side of the water
Oh won't you listen to the lady in the lake

We drifted swiftly
Paper sails in the breakers
We buried treasure
There was nothing to take
And the pool in your mouth is frozen
And I never did learn how to skate
But it doesn't matter anyway
I'm on the wrong side of the water
Oh won't you listen to the lady in the lake
No it doesn't matter anyway
I'm on the wrong side of the water
She's frozen love, as you left her
Out of whose womb came the ice
And the hoary frost of heaven
Who hath gendered it
The waters are hid as with a stone
And the face of the deep is frozen
No it doesn't matter anyway
I'm on the wrong side of the water
Oh won't you listen to the lady in the lake
No it doesn't matter anyway
I'm on the wrong side of the water
She's frozen love as you left her
Fish out the lady in the lake
