LYRICS
In my cabin in the woods
Where the pines have long withstood
I find solitude and rest
Every breeze a welcome guest
With my very own canoe
And my paddle tried and true
Leave my slipstream in the deep
Where the snapping turtles sleep
I find solitude and rest
Every breeze a welcome guest
With my very own canoe
And my paddle tried and true
Leave my slipstream in the deep
Where the snapping turtles sleep
Refrain:
It is so divine underneath the pines
On the shores of Lake Wawashkesh
Far as I can see, water, sky and trees
This land, my paradise.
It is so divine underneath the pines
On the shores of Lake Wawashkesh
Far as I can see, water, sky and trees
This land, my paradise.
Every morn my heron flies
Cross a lovely summer sky
And if ever there’s a storm
Makes my cabin safe and warm
Dragonflies feed in the air
Water beetles everywhere
Perch and bass and pike abound
Crickets make the sweetest sound
Cross a lovely summer sky
And if ever there’s a storm
Makes my cabin safe and warm
Dragonflies feed in the air
Water beetles everywhere
Perch and bass and pike abound
Crickets make the sweetest sound
Refrain:
It is so divine underneath the pines
On the shores of Lake Wawashkesh
Far as I can see, water, sky and trees
This land, my paradise.
It is so divine underneath the pines
On the shores of Lake Wawashkesh
Far as I can see, water, sky and trees
This land, my paradise.
All the children are a-bed
Moon is rising overhead
Whispering pines will chase my fears
Words that only I can hear
Lully lully lully lie
In my dreams I will fly
Lully lully lully lay
Till morning mists rise off the bay.
Moon is rising overhead
Whispering pines will chase my fears
Words that only I can hear
Lully lully lully lie
In my dreams I will fly
Lully lully lully lay
Till morning mists rise off the bay.
Refrain:
It is so divine underneath the pines
On the shores of Lake Wawashkesh
Far as I can see, water, sky and trees
This land, my paradise.
It is so divine underneath the pines
On the shores of Lake Wawashkesh
Far as I can see, water, sky and trees
This land, my paradise.
