The Lake
Gordon Edgar Downie
Always stared at the lake
My entire life
I saw something today
The love of my life
Vague it's always been
Between the sun and me
Or rather than blocking it
It brings it to me
On a silvery gold trail
Sparkles and dances
With all the warmth and calm
Of a hand to my chest
I realized today
You're Lake Ontario
The love of my life
You are willow (willow, willow)
