Neil Young Deep Forbidden Lake lyrics

On the lake the deep forbidden lake the old boats go gliding by
And the leaves are falling from the trees and landing on the logs and I
See the turtles heading for the bog and falling off the log
They make the water splash and feeling no backlash
They climb the happy banks

On the boats the old and creaky boats the shoreline goes gliding by
And the wind there was a dying breeze is making the banners fly
See the colors floating in the sky the pride of the captain's eye
As he glides his slender craft inside and opens up the door


On the coast the long and tempting coast the cards on the table lie
And a speech so eloquent in reach was made by a passerby
Passing by the way between here and left behind
And it ripples through the crowds who run and cast their doubts
In the deep forbidden lake

Yes, it echoes through the crowds who run and cast their doubts
In the deep forbidden lake
