Sleepless Lake

Grant Lee Phillips

Dare ya draw me closer still

And let me be the wild witness to the kill

See how the stars abide

Showing no resistance late into the night



Bluer than the winter wind that howls

On a sleepless lake

Ooh ooh



Me I'm under no duress

Offering my throat before a hungry lioness

Hear how the jungle whines

And beats a violent drum along with these blues of mine



Bluer than the winter wind that howls

On a sleepless lake

Ooh ooh



Da da da



Where the light and shadows bend

I walk your silent haunts along the Michigan

Grief banished by the glow

Electric dying autumn has a color all of it's own



Bluer than the winter wind that howls

On a sleepless lake
