Washoe Lake

my 12th song...

Washoe Lake - Lyrics

In my head I've trapped these stories retold
Crowned them, jeweled, plated in gold
Gave too much meaning when all they'd gotten was old
It's good to finally live a life of my own

I drove far away where I'm bigger than the sky
And the dusty sand stretches out for endless miles
I packed all my troubled bundled tightly in a jar
Buried them deep in the lake's sandbars

And all the sorrows that I've claimed
Well I've made them all my own
And I've washed them away away away
In the waters of Lake Washoe

The faint desert wind through the fragrant sage
The howl of the coyote as night slowly aged
The sun set scarlett over weathered, shadowed peaks
The Milky Way's arm wrapped me into deep sleep

There are no walls to bind me in my small plot of land
No walls in my mind to keep me boxed, head in hand
Thought I had to scale walls and then try not to fall
But now I see there are no walls at all

And all the joys that I claim
Well I've made them all my own
And I rediscovered them sacred
Over waters of Lake Washoe

Perfect lyrics, spot on vocals, yellow hat. Couldn't be any better. Just one question, where is this lake? I've got a bundle to leave there as well :)
