Lady of the Lowlands

I met her in the low lands, I was coming to an end

 Looking for separation, for what tomorrow sends 

I met her in the lowlands, coming from Gotthard Pass 

Seeking inspiration, for something that would last 

I met her in the lowlands, put her hand to my mouth

 “Time to go to Como, time to travel south”

If you ever are traveling, and you happen upon

The Lady from the Lowlands, stay with her ‘till the dawn 

She took me down to Lenno, and put me in her room

She opened up my breast, and showed me all my wounds 

She unpacked all my sorrows, and regrets that left a stain

She washed my feet with her tears, and baptized all my pain 

The lady of the lowlands,  she fed me wine and meat 

And that which was bitter, turned to bitter sweet 

If you ever are traveling, and you happen upon

The Lady from the Lowlands, stay with her ‘till the dawn 

She left me in the morning, said “you’ll soon understand

pain can lead to wisdom.” Said this lady from the lowlands 

If you ever are traveling, and you happen upon

The Lady from the Lowlands, stay with her ‘till the dawn
