Story behind the song
(Keowee meaning "The Place of the Mulberry") By the late 1700s Keowee Village or Keowee Town was a central "hub" along the Indian trading path that connected Cherokee towns and villages throughout eastern Tennessee, western North Carolina, and northwestern South Carolina with the Atlantic Ocean. Across the Keowee River was the English settlement, Fort Prince George. All remnants are now beneath the waters of Lake Keowee. Duke Power Company began development of the beautiful 18,400-acre Lake Keowee and 7,500-acre Lake Jocassee in 1967.
Lyrics
The fog in the early morning Covers the water like clouds in the sky And sailing across it feels like I’m floating on air, a thousand feet high. And suddenly The weight of this world has lifted. My life is at peace. Keowee keeps calling me At Keowee when the sun sets The Blue Ridge horizon meets fiery sky Reflecting across the water I see all I’ve dreamed has been here all the time. And suddenly; The weight of this world has lifted. I’m living the dream. Keowee keeps calling me In the stillness that follows There in the moon glow Sometimes it seems time slows To a stop. There’s magic around these mountains That heals the body, mind and soul I take a deep breath and feel it Revealing its power, leading me home And suddenly The weight of this world has lifted My life is at peace. Keowee keeps calling me Keowee keeps calling me
