taylor swift - the lakes (original version) [audio]
[00:22.53] Is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me?
[00:32.63] I'm not cut out for all these cynical clones
[00:40.07] These hunters with cell phones
[00:43.53] Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die
[00:47.24] I don't belong, and my beloved, neither do you
[00:53.89] Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
[00:57.89] I'm setting off, but not without my muse
[01:04.79] What should be over burrowed under my skin
[01:11.97] In heart-stopping waves of hurt
[01:15.69] I've come too far to watch some namedropping sleaze
[01:22.33] Tell me what are my words worth
[01:26.05] Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die
[01:29.77] I don't belong, and my beloved, neither do you
[01:36.41] Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
[01:40.67] I'm setting off, but not without my muse
[01:47.03] I want auroras and sad prose
[01:52.34] I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet
[02:00.32] 'Cause I haven't moved in years
[02:05.89] And I want you right here
[02:09.35] A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground
[02:15.98] With no one around to tweet it
[02:19.70] While I bathe in cliffside pools
[02:23.69] With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief
[02:30.33] Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die
[02:33.79] I don't belong, and my beloved, neither do you
[02:40.43] Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
[02:44.41] I'm setting off, but not without my muse
[02:49.73] Not without you
[02:51.59] Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die
[02:55.03] I don’t belong, and my beloved, neither do you
[03:01.68] Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
[03:05.92] I'm setting off, but not without my muse
[03:10.97] No, not without you
