Story behind the song
I wrote this song after a visit to the English Lake District
Lyrics
The Lakes, Glynne Davies From Windermere to Bassenthwaite Ullswater to Ennerdale The beauty of the English lakes Is this the Holy Grail Walk high in the hills on Striding Edge On High Street and Skiddaw Up Scafell Pike, trudge up Great Gable The views will have you in ewe. Walk over some of the lower hills Like Longgrigg fell and Wansfield Pike Look down the valleys to the lakes The reward for your easy hike. The crystal clear waters of Thirlmere The man made beauty of Tarn Hows The shear cliffs plunging into Wast Water The wildlife, sheep and cows. The flooded Mardale, Haweswater Rydal Water and Grassmere Lowes Water, Crummock, Buttermere The steamer at Conniston pier. Esthwater and Ellterwater Up in the Langdale vale Magnificent the scenery And the forests of Grizedale Man has tended this area well Planted a variety of trees Enhanced the natural beauty For us all to see.
