There's a magical sound slidin' over the ground
Makin' it shiver and shake
And a permanent cry fallin' out of the sky
Slippery and sly like a snake 

With a delicate move kind of shifty and smooth
shadow has covered the light
Then a beam in the shade from a silvery blade
Has shattered the edge of the night 

I know she waits below
Only to rise [bad word] When [bad word] for me
She's got my life in her hands 

When a movement behind hit the side of my mind
I trembled and shook it away
Then another assault and I started to faulter
Fibres of steel turned to clay 

With a bubbly turn now the water should churn
And push it way from the core
And a lady in white will bring sun to the night
Brighter than ever before 

I know she waits below
Only to rise [bad word] When [bad word] for me
She's got my life in her hands
Lady of the lake 

There's a magical sound slidin' over the ground
Makin' it shiver and shake
And a permanent cry fallin' out of the sky
Slippery and sly like a snake 

With a delicate move kind of shifty and smooth
shadow has covered the light
Then a beam in the shade from a slivery blade
Has shattered the edge of the night 

Straight down I'm swirling around
Blinded and [bad word] by the strain
There must be some way to see
Diamonds out of the rain 

I know she waits below
Only to rise [bad word] When [bad word] for me
She's got my life in her hands
Lady of the lake
