[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out
I spent the day your way
Call it morning driving through the sound of
In and out the valley
[Verse 2]
The music dance and sing
They make the children really ring
I spent the day your way
Call it morning driving through the sound of
In and out the valley
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
I will remember you
Your silhouette will charge the view
Of distant atmosphere
Call it morning driving through the sound of
Even in the valley
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
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 a 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
[Bridge]
In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky, they stand there
Twenty four before my love and I'll be there
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1]
I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out
You spent the day your way
Call it morning driving through the sound of
In and out the valley
[Chorus]
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
