lyrics
LAKE SKANEATELES
hush'd now august
heat in the air
we’re free and now clear
the Russian's upon us
to greet without care
our innocence
on the side of the road
a dandelion mine
explodes in a cheer
Lake Skaneateles
deep in the heart
of the echoes I hear
and it's you
only you
who takes my breath away
be still Puget Sound
the mountains are out
the wave is in your hair
i've abandoned my pride
cast off with a sigh
and hardly a care
i can dance all alone
to the hush of this song
and swoon unaware
for my silence is yours
my breath is a fort
and i'm holding it there
but it's you, only you, who takes my breath away
only you who takes my breath away
hush'd now august
heat in the air
we’re free and now clear
the Russian's upon us
to greet without care
our innocence
on the side of the road
a dandelion mine
explodes in a cheer
Lake Skaneateles
deep in the heart
of the echoes I hear
and it's you
only you
who takes my breath away
be still Puget Sound
the mountains are out
the wave is in your hair
i've abandoned my pride
cast off with a sigh
and hardly a care
i can dance all alone
to the hush of this song
and swoon unaware
for my silence is yours
my breath is a fort
and i'm holding it there
but it's you, only you, who takes my breath away
only you who takes my breath away
