Lady Of The Lake
When I was a boy I knew the lady of the lake
And I was her favorite child
She wore a white gown her yellow hair hanging down
And her voice like a shadow, was gentle and kind
Everyday to the sea we would go hand in hand
And build great white castles, civilizations in sand
And I would paint her pictures with a seaweed brush
And gather seashell jewels for her, as stars watched over us
When I was a boy I knew the lady of the lake
And I was her favorite child
She wore a white gown her yellow hair hanging down
And a voice like a shadow, was gentle and kind
Sometimes we'd set sail straight for the sun
As down the dome of sky it fled
And sometimes we'd try to catch it as it spun
To the deep sea comfort of the seagreen bed
The lady of the lake is gone, lost with childhoods mind
But the intoxication lingers on and I remember the time
When I would paint her pictures with a seaweed brush
And gather seashell jewels for her, as the stars watched over us
When I was a boy I knew the lady of the lake
And I was her favorite child
Dama del Lago
Cuando era niño conocí a la dama del lago
Y yo era su niño favorito
Ella llevaba un vestido blanco, su cabello rubio caía
Y su voz, como una sombra, era gentil y amable
Cada día al mar íbamos de la mano
Y construíamos grandes castillos blancos, civilizaciones en la arena
Y yo le pintaba cuadros con un pincel de algas marinas
Y recolectaba joyas de conchas marinas para ella, mientras las estrellas nos observaban
Cuando era niño conocí a la dama del lago
Y yo era su niño favorito
Ella llevaba un vestido blanco, su cabello rubio caía
Y una voz como una sombra, era gentil y amable
A veces zarparíamos directo hacia el sol
Mientras descendía por el domo del cielo
Y a veces intentábamos atraparlo mientras giraba
Hacia la comodidad del lecho marino verde mar
La dama del lago se ha ido, perdida con la mente de la infancia
Pero la embriaguez perdura y recuerdo el tiempo
Cuando le pintaba cuadros con un pincel de algas marinas
Y recolectaba joyas de conchas marinas para ella, mientras las estrellas nos observaban
Cuando era niño conocí a la dama del lago
Y yo era su niño favorito
