Track 13 on Moore’s debut LP, Elsewhere, The Lake is built around a fragmentary backing of piano, grazed acoustic guitar, distant strings, and Denai Moore’s restrained vocal performance.
[Verse: 1]
Laid my pennies by the lake
Hoping the water could buy me fate
For all of my mistakes
That I have made
Laid out memories by the lake
Hoping that they could sail away
Away from my mind
There's a piece of you left behind
[Chorus]
I still see you there, out in the lake
Right in the middle where, it’s all faint
The less I care the more that you’ll fade
I still see you there out in the lake
[Verse: 2]
Laid a letter by the lake
With all the worlds I want to say
And I know they’ll be no reply
But I’d still want you to know why
[Chorus]
[Middle 8]
You’re sinking down, like a pebble in the lake
Like the ghosts of my past, that's faded away
And now I’m left with nothing but a memory
[Chorus]
The Lake was produced by Plan B (UK).
Denai Moore released The Lake on Mon Nov 04 2013.
