[Verse 1]
We were leaving the mountain, it needed the day
I watched as the whiteness melted away
Our driver liked talking, with the hills in his eyes
And he mentioned a forest buried in ice
[Chorus]
He wanted to go and show it off glistening
And it all came alive in our listening
I could hear crisp Edelweiss
Just in the words that rang in my mind
It really did glow like art in a gallery
In the mind, and then it was vanishing
And that place that was there
Deep in thе land
It put something new in the air
[Verse 2]
Down in the valley, homes letting out smoke
And signs of landslides, I saw as he spoke

But we didn't have time to, we'll see it someday
[Chorus]
He wanted to go and show it off glistening
And it all came alive in our listening
I could hear crisp Edelweiss
Just in the words that rang in my mind
It really did glow like art in a gallery
In the mind, and then it was vanishing
And that place in the land
One of those things you try
But you can't understand
[Outro]
One of those things you try
But you can't understand
