lake of silver bells

float from the balcony

we ride the pine top swells

down from the old hotel

on the lake of silver bells

leading is lonely

when you're dancing through derisions

so much left for giving

in the year of the living dangerously happy

on the lake of silver bells

light flickers by

a hundred suns hehind the trees

melts us in a lullaby

our eyelids are like movie screens

and we close our eyes

and feel the warmth come into frame

we close our eyes

until our dreamsbecome one and the same

so much left for giving

in the year of living dangerously happy

on the lake of silver bells

we dance across till we drop

the bells keep time and never stop

we sleep and we wake

to muffled chimes out on the lake

we dance across till we drop

the bells keep time and never stop

we sleep and we wake

on the lake of silver bells

w've reached a secret place

to rest and reconcile

we close our eyes

the only change is no change for a while

we'll buy the old hotel

and we will make this place our own

and fill each room with sons and daughters

and never be alone

looking passed the love you face

you miss the place you never had

but what you need's not just the dream

but somethings on the other end

wake up. wake up. wake up. you're much too fast asleep
