Float from the balcony, we ride the pine top swells
Down from the old hotel on the lake of silver bells
And leading is lonely when you make alone decisions
Leading is lonely when you're dancing through derisions
So much left for giving in, the year of living dangerously happy
On the lake of silver bells
Life flickers by a hundred suns behind the trees
Melts us in a lullaby, our eyelids are like movie screens
And we close our eyes and feel the warmth come into frame
We close our eyes until our dreams become one and the same
So much left for giving in, the year of living dangerously happy
On the lake of silver bells
We dance across 'til we drop, the bells keep time and never stop
We sleep and we wake to muffled chimes out on the lake
We dance across 'til we drop, the bells keep time and never stop
We sleep and we wake on the lake of silver bells
We've reached the secret place to rest and reconcile
We close our eyes, the only change is no change for a while
We're by the old hotel and we will make this place our own
And fill each room with sons and daughters and never be alone
And we dance across 'til we drop, the bells keep time and never stop
We sleep and we wake to muffled chimes out on the lake
We dance across 'til we drop, the bells keep time and never stop
We sleep and we wake on the lake of silver bells
Looking past the love you face, you miss the place you never had
What you need's not just the dream, but something on the other end
Wake up, wake up, wake up, you're much too fast asleep
And we dance across 'til we drop, the bells keep time and never stop
We sleep and we wake to muffled chimes out on the lake
We dance across 'til we drop, the bells keep time and never stop
We sleep and we wake on the lake of silver bells
The lake of silver bells
The lake of silver bells
The lake of silver bells
Leading is lonely
