Glaik

GLAIK  (The Illusion of the Lake)
©Trev Teasdel Coventry Feb 1971

I tried to catch the sun

but it was only a reflection in the water.

I was only seeking treasure

But I ended up 'kissing the gunner's daughter'

The velvet coated bard I followed,

was just a caird who was in a play.

I looked up to the sky to see

they had blackened 'the eye of the day'.

chorus
Glaik - (3 times) 

           The Illusion of the lake.

I went to see the archimage 

but he turned out to be just a javel.

I pulled the bedclothes back

to see a snake unravel.

I almost made the rainbow's end

when it suddenly turned wan.

I gledged upon a peacock,

who suddenly lost his fan.

.........

Same story as for Beneath the Phaeic Sky. Written for Railroad. Glaik is an archaic word for illusion.

This is version from 2025 by Mira and the Magnetic Ghosts.

 

This is the same version but on Reverbnation.
