To the lakes
Ryczace - Shannon Lyrics

Since I was just a teen
From a young age, I have held onto a persistent dream

I've had a lingering dream
I have always harbored a long-lasting aspiration

I want to live in between the clouds
I yearn to reside in the sky, amidst the clouds

On higher ground
In an elevated location

And when you look down there's a little town
If you gaze downward, you'll see a small town

And it surrounds a lake where the swans play
The town encompasses a lake where swans gracefully roam

Its glacier fed and the flowers are red
The lake is fed by a glacier and adorned with red flowers

And when you look up
When you direct your gaze upwards

There's the mountains above
You'll find the mountains towering above

And they're covered in snow
Enveloped in a white blanket of snow

It's where the skiers go
A destination favored by skiers

Looks like the opening scene
Resembles the beginning of a movie

From that movie
Just like in that film

Where Maria spins and sings
Where Maria twirls around joyfully while singing

Little house near lake Geneva
A small dwelling close to Lake Geneva

On a mountain looking down
Perched on a mountain, overlooking the surroundings

Not as high as I could go
Not reaching the utmost pinnacle

Yeah somewhere halfway up the Alps
Rather, somewhere in the middle of the Alps

I'd move now but if I go
Although I would like to relocate, if I were to leave

I'd be a little far from what I know
I would find myself distanced from the familiar

So I'll wait another day until I say
Thus, I will bide my time until I decide

I bought my house above a Swiss lake
Eventually, I purchased a residence overlooking a lake in Switzerland

I flew across the sea
I traveled over the ocean by air

And found a place to be
And discovered a place to exist

But I had to leave after days
However, I had to depart after spending a few days

Of living great
Of experiencing a wonderful time

If I could have stayed
If it were possible for me to remain

I would have stayed
I would have chosen to remain

Well go back some day I guarantee
I assure you, one day we will return

One day you'll see it with me
At some point, you will witness it alongside me

No one mowed their yards
Nobody tended their lawns

They let it grow
They allowed the grass to grow freely

Called it "wildflowers"
Referring to it as "wildflowers"

Not "overgrown"
Rather than considering it as excessively grown

Yeah it seemed simple but it showed me
Indeed, it appeared uncomplicated, yet it taught me

A different way
An alternative approach

The water's clear, the air is too
The water possesses clarity, as does the air

One day I'll live there next to you
In the future, I will reside there by your side

House above a Swiss lake
A dwelling situated above a lake in Switzerland
