[VERSE 1]
F/A A# E/G# A
Lake Hope was calling me
A# C F/A A
October witnesses were there
F/A A# E/G# A
So-o I took her with me
A# C F/A A
I knew just what would occur there
A# C F/A
That's why I had to take her there
A# C A Dm
So I called on our Michael, it was so far
A# C F/A A
And he was willing to drive us
A# C
Gathered up her paintbrushes
A Dm
Ran to the car
A# C F/A A
But for the squirrels it was quiet
[VERSE 2]
F/A A# E/G# A
Lake Hope rea-a-lity
A# C F/A A
Seems so ethereal floating
F/A A# E/G# A
And the fina-a-lity
A# C
Of her embrace
F/A A
Left me groping
A# C F/A
Satisfied yes, but still groping
A# C A Dm
For the secret of metaphysical joy
A# C F/A A
There in her body's caresses
A# C
Love is but to play with
A Dm
A girl like a toy
A# C F/A A
Yes, but nobody confesses
[VERSE 3]
F/A A# E/G# A
Lake Hope was calling me
A# C F/A A
I knew just what would occur there
F/A A# E/G# A
So-o I took her with me
A# C F/A A
Only to do it with her there
A# C F/A
That's why I couldn't take you there…
