Baby, when you asked me if I could help you hallucinate again
I didn’t realize where this was going to end
I couldn’t quite assess the paleness of your day
But the strength in your caress made me do it anyway
So I gathered my magic powders in a golden horseshoe
With a dozen grounded flowers, and made a rainbow for us two
I think our senses were aware that they were no longer king
I guess they never really care; they let us do our own thing
Losing sight of what you think you know
Erhai Lake Archipelago
Cormorants in bowties, like bullets of snow
On Erhai Lake Archipelago
Sacred inflections and a mystical glow
On Erhai Lake Archipelago
Still, still water where spirits flow
Erhai Lake Archipelago
Island to island to island to island
To island to island to island to island
To island to island to island to island
To island… ‘til we land
Erhai Lake is misty and baby if that makes you sad
Don’t worry, I’m an expert at feeling sort of glad
Day in, day out, day in, day out, the lake casts our reflection
Makes me dread the fateful day when I’ll fall out of your affection
Oh, then it started to snow
And I could feel it on my soul
Oh, yeah it started to snow
It was then I realized that I loved you so
Losing sight of what you think you know
Erhai Lake Archipelago
Cormorants in bowties, like bullets of snow
On Erhai Lake Archipelago
Sacred inflections and a mystical glow
On Erhai Lake Archipelago
Still, still water where spirits flow
Erhai Lake Archipelago
