lyrics

Starving beds: Skeleton frames; our bodies lifted above strangers; we’re all foreigners; same place 8 heads, one room, 3 continents. 3rd country in, one to go. From ancient cities to glacier centered mountains above rolling green hills and scattered swiss chalets. First we hiked 27000 vertical feet from Lauterbrunnen to Murren, then we jumped off waterfalls and slid down glacial river walls, then we rode up Harder Kulm, made a salas and admired views. We ate salami and fresh baked bread all the time, drank 2 frank Spanish wine and looked at the sky. Then it was time to go; already 4 days past. We know we may never return to where the water flows slate blue and cold. I’ve never seen a landscape quite like this. it’s always been a place i’ve dreamed of visiting and here it is: Switzerland.
