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
