Hey, I know that you don't want to hear this now
Remember when you told me how
The hurt is gonna fade
But that don't mean a thing to you
'Cause now your heart is torn and blue
She took her love away from you...
I thought my lake was deep but yours
Is deeper than the Winnipesaukee
I thought my soul was black but yours
Your lake is like Lake Payette in Idaho
Great than the smiling hole
That she knew as a girl
But you don't need that metaphor
When you're scratching at the ocean floor
Praying for an open door
To nowhere in your world
I thought my lake was deep but yours
Is deeper than the Winnipesaukee
I thought my soul was bleak but yours is the salty sea
Yeah I know that hollow feeling in your soul
You tremble in the terrible cold
Even on a shiny day
And nothing in your world is right
Not a trace of morning light
Nobody to hold you tight
She took her love away from you
I thought my lake was deep but yours
Is deeper than the Winnipesaukee
I thought my soul was bleak
But yours is bleaker than the heart of the winter
I thought my sky was black
But yours is blacker than the soul of the devil
I thought my heart was blue
But yours is bluer then the Winnipesaukee
I thought my lake was deep but yours is the salty sea
It's the salty sea
