A long walk home, riddled with regret
Uncommonly comfortable, but still I believe
That in time I think I'll see just what's been weighing down on me
An unearthy void collapsed, exposing what was trapped
To release this serendipitous discern

The smell of smoke, the evening sky was proof
Belated conversation saturate anticipation for the answers that simply won't come

But not I, I won't ask
Forget my place amongst the grass
The leaves and the trees remember me
ANd in my naivety it might be seen
the pale has leaks and even if
you put all your water into it
you end up with nothing left to drink
The well has gone dry and I with it

Oh, someday she'll be gone (x4)

(We'll still have a song to sing)

Sing softly, bring me to the lake
Sing softly, sing me to the lake

There are several variations to this part. The band has 4 guitarists so it becomes hard 
narrow it down to just one, but this is what I hear most dominantly. I™m sure there are 
guys just strumming the basic barre chords and open chords, etc.









A long walk home, riddled with regret
Uncommonly comfortable, but still I believe
That in time I think I'll see just what's been weighing down on me
An unearthy void collapsed, exposing what was trapped
To release this serendipitous discern

The smell of smoke, the evening sky was proof
Belated conversation saturate anticipation for the answers that simply won't come

But not I, I won't ask
Forget my place amongst the grass
The leaves and the trees remember me
ANd in my naivety it might be seen
the pale has leaks and even if

The well has gone dry and I with it

Oh, someday she'll be gone (x4)

(We'll still have a song to sing)

Sing softly, bring me to the lake
Sing softly, sing me to the lake

version 3









This song is in the key of A major (F#, C#, G#).  I placed the meter 
as 3/4 with a swung eighth feel, so read the tab likewise.  The 
verse is basically outlining the root and third of each respective 
scale degree in A Maj while letting the open A ring out.  The verse 
and chorus share the general pulse listed above the first measure.

The chorus is basically taken from two chords:  B minor and E.

The structure of the first part of the song:
Verse  X2 (as intro)
Verse  X2
Chorus X4
Verse  X2 (without vocals)
Verse  X2
Chorus X4

After the break the rest of the song is based on the same chord progression
as the chorus (B min and E).


The lyrics as written on the CD insert:

THE LONG WALK HOME
RIDDLED WITH REGRET
UNCOMMONLY COMFORTABLE...
BUT STILL I BELIEVE

THAT IN TIME I THINK I'LL SEE
JUST WHAT'S BEEN WEIGHING DOWN ON ME
AN UNEARTHLY VOID COLLAPSED
EXPOSING WHAT WAS TRAPPED
TO RELEASE THIS SERENDIPITOUS DESIGN

THE SMELL OF SMOKE
THE EVENING SKY WAS BRUISED
BELATED CONVERSATIONS SATURATE ANTICIPATION
FOR THE ANSWERS THAT SIMPLY WON'T COME.

BUT NOT I. I WON'T ASK.
FORGET MY PLACE AMONGST THE GRASS.
THE LEAVES, AND THE TREES.
REMEMBER ME AND IN MY NAIVETY
IT MIGHT BE SEEN

THE PAIL HAS LEAKS AND EVEN IF 
YOU PUT ALL YOUR WATER INTO IT 
YOU'LL END UP WITH NOTHING LEFT TO DRINK
THE WELL HAS GONE DRY, AND I WITH IT.

SOMEDAY SHE'LL BE GONE.
WE'LL STILL HAVE HER SONG TO SING
SING SOFTLY, BRING ME TO THE LAKE.
