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
