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 – (sang as in Gkl ai..ai..K (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.
