An Affair By The Lake |
LyricsAn Affair by the Lake(Music interlude) They lunch at 'The Boathouse' a restaurant with views Lakeside is charming discreet and infused With the pheromone whiff of clandestine affairs Voices are low in case somebody stares The apartment is quiet, with views of the bridge Motels ignored, due to sales reps and kids The last things you need in a sweet afternoon Are the cry of a child and the clinking of spoons The game is the thing, the style not the substance The consequences left for others to wear Nothing is real and nothing compares with The thrill of the game of a secret affair (Music interlude) Promises made will not be believed Deceit is the basis of passion conceived Better to whisper and groan with delight And replay the memory later that night The lingerie, perfume and bottles of wine The lunch was the entree the main course divine Waltzing with danger, the chance to be free Betrayal is healthy if it doesn't hurt me! By dusk they return to their relevant partners Preparing the lies like a memorized prayer No one gets hurt if nobody knows and the dance can resume with an arrogant air (Music interlude) They lunch at 'The Boathouse' a restaurant with views. |
