In the past they called me Lou Salome, Lou Salome
Found myself on fire in the pursuit of philosophy
For me wisdom was my ecstasy, my ecstasy
Like walking barefoot in the grasses
Sharing life with the animals
It was me, it was me

There's a light shadow now clear out on the water
Shining for you every unborn answer
Your animals fed for breakfast
History and we live on the invisible wings of your legacy

Hey Lou, Hey Lou
What are we to do without you?
With this world empty like a broken tune

You could see the dragons and the ethers and the mysteries
You could see the angels bounding inside your house
Calling to awaken the beauty inside of thee 'cause all of life is poetry
The trees love those
It was thee, It was thee

There's a light shadow now clear out on the water
Shining for you every unborn answer
Your animals fed for breakfast
History and we live on the invisible wings of your legacy

Hey Lou, Hey Lou
What are we to do without you?
With this world empty like a broken tune
