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