Last Lakes

from Rest Stop Rooibos by Tasha Zappala

/

lyrics

Sailed, sinking raft across the marshy shores
In amongst the swells of crumbling moors
Finer sight, I’d never known

Parade, slow
All sleepy-eyed and crusted oh
Broken down, whims and hopes disperse

Promised I’d return, when I learnt that all you were, was all I needed
But it took me too long and now these roots of this bog have me snared
I’d drink up the lake for you, build us a boat that won’t sink
But I can’t return the hands of time to bring you back, right beside me

Wade, in slow
Let the lake swallow me whole
Comfort of dark is all I know

Promised I’d return, when I learnt that all you were, was all I needed
But it took me too long and now these roots of this bog, have me snared
I’d drink up the lake for you, build us a boat that won’t sink
But I can’t return the hands of time to bring you back, right beside me
I’d drink up the lake for you, build us a boat that won’t sink
But I can’t return the hands of time to bring you back, right beside me
