The pond's not too shallow To hold what's down below The make of fairy tales Tops the list of all the swales Simplicity in the calm My lover on my arm As we go round and round Slowly paddle, not a sound The hills covered with snow The walnuts raining down, down, down The smiles on all these faces slowly curl my frown Hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey The leaves they change their color In Vermont it's duller than it is here These walnut trees we hold so dear Just to have another summer With all its peace and cover I'd give anything To love her, touch her, care for her The hills covered with snow, the walnuts raining down The smiles of all these faces slowly curl my frown I'll always have to hold these sweet memories But like water in winter I sometimes wish they'd freeze Hey hey hey Hey hey hey
