Story behind the song
This is another one that starte with a literal statement – the rain stopped and the mist lifted as we sat and ate on the edge of Lake Baikal in Siberia.
Lyrics
HBD 13 Mist on the Lake ..A A4|D |G A7 A4| D |G A7 | |Bm| A Bm| D Dmaj7 D |A AA4| | D |G A7 A4| D |G A7 | |Bm| A Bm| D Dmaj7 D |A G| Two a part – still can come together Taking heart – though still wondering whether They should give another try Or kiss the past goodbye Weigh the pros and cons Just believe – easy to say but oh so Easy to deceive – and lose your way In some complicated dance Symbiotic trance Churns the world along ..G|F#m D |G A7| Bm |G A7 | |F#m D| G Bm| C |A7|G| |D|D A A4| Mist rises from the lake Softens up the outline of the harbour ‘cross the bay Now the rain is easing there’s a beauty to the day Gold beneath the grey Says all there is to say As mist rises from the lake Gentle touch – may be all it takes Not too soft but not too much – before the magic breaks A little sensitivity May be no guarantee but easy to believe Let’s agree- maybe a time For some positivity – partners in crime Hardly in our infancy Fearless and free Hopeful to succeed
