Ballerina Lake lyrics

The boat on the lake is always frozen in time The winter descends as she can hear motorbikes But every time the engine always dies As the wheels spin her tears turn to ice He's been gone seven years but still the bike remains Under the frost of ballerina lake Ballerina why do you dance so sad You're fulfilling the dream that he never got to see you have Awakes and sleeps only with memories They kiss her every night on her head Like little notes of things he said to remind her He's alive and well and inside her body But what's a memory without a life It doesn't fill her empty side In their room she'll reminisce behind a widow's gaze Lying on the bed imagining he's awake She's wearing his clothes scented with all their highs As the musical box is playing ballerina chimes The perfect end holds a place very dear by her side The motorbike revs and she can taste the ride Cracks appear as she pirouettes Into the lake's tears she leapt and never came back Awakes and sleeps only with memories They kiss her every night on her head Like little notes of things he said to remind her He's alive and well and inside her body But what's a memory without a life It doesn't fill her empty side
