When The Water Gets Cold And Freezes On The Lake - Herman Dune

I think I'd rather wait for the winter to come

I never make a move when I'm out in the sun

I'll be ready to forgive your foolish mistake

When the water gets cold and freezes on the lake

I need a good night of sleeping I need a little more time

I need to sleep for a few months before I make up my mind

I'll be up early in the morning and wide awake

When the water gets cold and freezes on the lake

I saw your face in a dream I heard your name in a vision

I give myself a season before I make a decision

My knees will be steady and my hands won't shake

When the water gets cold and freezes on the lake

There's a lot of things I'm doing I never thought I would do

There's a lot of places in the world

That I would never go to without you

Right now I need to stay home and I don't need your company

Right now I need to be alone

And I need you to stay away from me

I love the smell of your hair and the blue of your eyes

But you're far too complicated and you tell a lot of lies

I'll see what's right and what's wrong I'll see what's true and what's fake

When the water gets cold and freezes on the lake

And then I'll send out invitations to my family in France

They will come all the way from Sweden

They will come all the way from France

My brother will bless the wine and my sister will bake a cake

When the water gets cold and freezes on the lake

Then when the time is right and when I think I understand

When I forget that you're a runaway that you've had another man

You'll come to me crawling as fast as a snake

When the water gets cold and freezes on the lake

There's a lot of things I'm doing I never thought I would do

There's a lot of places in the world

That I would never go to without you

But right now I need to stay home and I don't need your company

Right now I need to be alone

And I need you to stay away from me

Come on brother

And then in the white of the snow and the quite of nature

I will ask you to stay with me no matter the temperature

I hope you'll say yes and won't try to escape

When the water gets cold and freezes on the lake
