The Handsome Family
Shady Lake
[Verse 1]
At the shore of Shady Lake
Where the wind goes to sleep
Trout glide beneath the lily pads
And the tall orange reeds

[Chorus]
Now the horned owls call up through red leaves
Who, who comes rising up from the deep?

[Verse 2]
Two swans with their feathers
Whiter than snow
Twine their necks in a love knot
As gently they float

[Chorus]
Hear the soft whispers low in the sweet water's flow
Who, who comes rising up from the cold?

[Verse 3]
See the blue turtles slip
From the green mossy shore
Down, down they are diving
Down they soar
[Chorus]
See the yellow snake coiled in the leaves
Who, who comes rising? Who do you see?

[Outro]
(Who do you see?)
(Who do you see?)
(Who?)
