| Derwent Water - pic. Visit Keswick |
(instrumental)
sun and clouds race
fell-side slopes, where
dry-stone walls fold
dreams and hopes, waves
whisper breathless
sighs, across calm waters
on the shore a
minstrel played, as
lakeside landscapes
his love made, warm
hearts melted fell-top snows, that day, with laughter
On Derwent Water,
where memories run deep
young lovers made a
vow,
one day, that vow they’d
keep -
to come back …
On Derwent Water,
one fine summer’s day,
the Lady of the
Lake, is waiting for her minstrel love, to play …
but life’s storms
and sea-change years, have
washed away love’s
colours, with tears, leaving
rainbowed prisms of
those, once-familiar faces
broken hearts lie
fathoms deep, where
lake and fells their
secrets keep, with
past lovers dreaming
of, lost times and places
On Derwent Water,
where memories run deep
young lovers made a
vow,
one day, that vow they’d
keep -
to come back …
On Derwent Water,
one fine summer’s day,
the Lady of the Lake, is waiting for her minstrel love, to play …
