Lyrics
I'll be the round about The words will make you out 'n' out I'll spend the day your way... Call it morning driving through the sound and 

   In and out the valley...

The music dance and sing

They make the children really ring I'll spend the day your way

Call it morning driving through the sound and

In and out the valley...

In and around the lake

''Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there'' One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you

Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too

Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you...

I will remember you Your silhouette will charge the view Of distance atmosphere...

Call it morning driving thru the sound and

   Even in the valley...

In and around the lake ''Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there'' One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you

''Ten true summers we'll be there and Laughing too ooo oo oo''

Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you

Along the drifting cloud the eagle searching Down on the land

   Catching the swirling wind the sailor sees

The rim of the land The eagle's dancing wings create as weather

Spins out of hand

Go closer hold the land feel partly no more

Than grains of sand

We stand to lose all time a thousand answers By in our hand next to your deeper fears we stand

Surrounded by million years

I'll be the roundabout

The words will make you out 'n' out

I'll be the roundabout

The words will make you out 'n' out...

In and around the lake

Mountains come out of the sky they stand there

Twenty four before my love and I'll be there...

I'll be the roundabout

The words will make you out 'n' out

We spend the day your way

''Call it morning driving through the sound and In and out the valley... eh''

In and around the lake

Mountains come out of the sky and they Stand there

One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you

Ten true summers we'll be there and Laughing too

Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be There with you

Da da da da daaa da da x 8
