Winnipesaukee (to the tune of "With or Without You" by U2)

For Michele, who knows the lake well.   Audio Clip

 

New sunglasses on your eyes

A tube of sunscreen by your side

And it waits for you

 

Diet Coke, no twist of lime

Come on in, the water's fine

And it waits to greet you

 

Winnipesaukee

Winnipesaukee

 

When at last you reach the shore

You can't stand it any more

The lake beckons to you

 

Winnipesaukee

Winnipesaukee

You can swim

Winnipesaukee

 

And you swim your cares away

And you swim your cares away

And you swim, and you swim

And you swim your cares away

 

Your arms are tired

Your body's broke

It got you sick -

That heavy lunch

And too much Diet Coke

 

And you swim your cares away

And you swim your cares away

And you swim, and you swim

And you swim your cares away

 

Winnipesaukee

Winnipesaukee

You can swim

Winnipesaukee

Ah...
