Leaving the Mountain
Journey Through Nature's Whispers
Lyrics
We were leaving the mountain, it needed the day
We embarked on the journey down from the mountain, necessitated by daylight.
I watched as the whiteness melted away
I observed the snow or whiteness melting away as we descended.
Our driver liked talking, with the hills in his eyes
Our driver enjoyed conversing, his eyes reflecting the beauty of the hills.
And he mentioned a forest buried in ice
He mentioned a frozen forest, possibly covered in ice or snow.
He wanted to go and show it off glistening
The driver wished to showcase the sparkling beauty of the forest.
And it all came alive in our listening
The scene came alive as we listened, possibly to the driver's description.
I could hear crisp Edelweiss
I could perceive the sound of crisp Edelweiss, a type of alpine flower.
Just in the words that rang in my mind
The beauty resonated in the words echoing in my mind.
It really did glow like art in a gallery
The beauty resembled art in a gallery, a vivid and striking image.
In the mind, and then it was vanishing
In the mind, the image vanished or faded away.
And that place that was there
Referring to a place that was once present.
Deep in the land
Describing something deep within the land.
It put something new in the air
It introduced a new quality or atmosphere into the air.
Down in the valley, homes letting out smoke
Observing homes in the valley emitting smoke.
And signs of landslides, I saw as he spoke
Noticing signs of landslides while the driver spoke.
Dad said, "Let's go there, it's right on our way"
Dad suggested going there, as it was on our route.
But we didn't have time to, we'll see it some day
Due to time constraints, we couldn't explore it immediately.
He wanted to go and show it off glistening
The driver still desired to showcase the sparkling scene.
And it all came alive in our listening
Again, the description came alive in our listening.
I could hear crisp Edelweiss
The sound of crisp Edelweiss echoed in our minds.
Just in the words that rang in my mind
The beauty resonated in the words echoing in my mind.
It really did glow like art in a gallery
The beauty resembled art in a gallery, a vivid and striking image.
In the mind, and then it was vanishing
In the mind, the image vanished or faded away.
And that place in the land
Referring again to that place within the land.
One of those things you try
Describing something that people attempt to comprehend but find challenging.
But you can't understand
Highlighting a mysterious or incomprehensible aspect of the place.
One of those things you try
Reiteration of the difficulty in understanding certain aspects.
But you can't understand
Repeating the idea that some things defy understanding.
Show it off glistening, glistening
Re-emphasis on showcasing the sparkling scene.
Edelweiss, rang in our minds
The sound of Edelweiss lingered in our minds.
Art in a gallery and then it was vanishing
The beauty resembled art in a gallery, a vivid and striking image, but then it faded away.
That was there
Referring again to that place within the land.
Deep in the land
Describing something deep within the land.
It put something new in the air
It introduced a new quality or atmosphere into the air.
