[Verse 1: Timothy Carroll]
We went swimming in the old blue lake
Where her daddy's mama learned to skate
We went swimming in the old blue lake
Floating breathless as her old namesake

[Verse 2]
We went searching in the old coal mines
Where those pale young men had died
We went searching in the old coal mines
And she kissed me in the candle light

[Chorus]
And when the darkest nights of August came
We would be so very far far away
'Cause she had been so very reckless and so brave
I see now what she gave away

[Verse 3]
We went walking on the old train tracks
In the forests of the books I had
Read in wonder as my father's son
She named the flowers that were watching on

[Verse 4]
She took me up in those mining hills
I'd almost forgotten her mid-lips
Without a lover and without wealth too
She gave it all for his solitude

[Chorus]
And when the darkest nights of August came
We would be so very far far away
'Cause she had been so very reckless and so brave
I see now what she gave away
I see now what she gave away
I see now what she gave away

[Verse 5]
And by the light of the midnight sun
I held onto my love
And though she did she never fell
I held my Isabelle
I held my Isabelle
