Ciaran Mcmeeken Bed Of The Lake
[Verse 1]
His bedrooms a mess
There's dirty clothes everywhere
And there's dishes in the kitchen
Like the empire state building
We ain't taken out the rubbish
In a couple of months now
But when she comes around
There won't be a speckle of dust to be found
[Chorus]
And his soul looks like a pretty deep blue sea
And you can swim in it for a month or so
But when the summer sun bakes, all the water evaporates
And the cracks begin to show in the bed of the lake
Oh, the cracks begin to show in the bed of the lake
[Verse 2]
His family is broken
Nobody has spoken for God knows how long
Though there's an elephant in the room
Nobody knows what to do
So they sit there silently sippin' their wine
But when the neighbors drop by
They all get along just fine
[Chorus]
And his home looks like a pretty deep blue sea
And you can swim in it for a month or so
But when the summer sun bakes, all the water evaporates
And the cracks begin to show in the bed of the lake
Oh, the cracks begin to show in the bed of the lake
[Bridge]
No one or nothing is perfect
I know I am certainly not
When you scrape below the surface
And you gaze behind the curtain
What you find is just a person
[Verse 3]
His smile is wide, and his eyes shine bright
And everybody falls in love with his charm
Though his laugh is the loudest
And everybody says how proud they are
When the people take their leave
Like a baby he cries herself to sleep
[Chorus]
And his soul looks like a pretty deep blue sea
And you can swim in it for a month or so
But when the summer sun bakes, all the water evaporates
And the cracks begin to show in the bed of the lake
Oh, the cracks begin to show in the bed of the lake
[Outro]
Oh, the cracks begin to show in the bed of the lake
Oh, the cracks begin to show in the bed of the lake
