Lady of the Lake
I placed my heart in the hands of a sailor
Which is not so easy to do
So often it seems they love the sea life
Much more than they love you
But he doesn’t know it
and I doubt he suspects
I have a love of my own
Before I knew him or anyone else
The water was always my home
I wish he would notice just for a moment
In the moonlight that touches the waves
I love it as much, if not more than he does
I’m a lady of the lake
