Aaron Schroeder - Devil's Lake lyrics

Wake up! Tell me how to get to sleep Tell me why the willow weeps Does she understand something I just can't? You've been dancing 'round the devil's lake If you wait too long the ice will break And you will fall into the cold Come down! I can't raise my head that high Can't open my eyes that wide Every time I try to sing these lullabies You are dancing on the devil's lake If you dance too long the ice will break And you will tumble to the ground Uh huh, oh no They don't want to let you go Uh huh, oh no They don't want to let you... I can see the sun set through your window Broken gla** like freedom confuses you To the bridges we've built and never crossed The roads that we've paved with debt and loss To a house that becomes a home for the lost I see I will die a thousand times to be true You will sing a thousand songs they see through To the flames in the sky and the holes in the ground To an ocean so wide to the island we've found To a house that becomes a home for the bound Wake up! Tell me how to get to sleep, tell me why the willow Weeps
