[Verse 1]
Early on a weekend morning, I drove along the big river.
All the way out to the Pacific Ocean.
The waves on the open sea were huge,
And unfortunately, I didn’t catch a fish.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Around midday, I headed back up river and returned to our home in the meadow.
[Chorus 1]
In the afternoon, we went shopping,
Or visited a large marsh nearby.
That little village was so peaceful and a wonderful place to live.
[Verse 2]
It was a home we’d chosen after much deliberation,
But life there turned out to be even more fulfilling and enjoyable than I’d imagined.
The only issue was the long commute to work.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
But that was something I could put up with
What mattered most was that my family was happy.
[Chorus 2]
In the afternoon, we went shopping,
Or visited a large marsh nearby.
That little village was so peaceful and a wonderful place to live.
[Verse 3]
Working in the city on weekdays,
Living in the countryside on weekends
We thought we could go on living that rich, quiet life forever, for the rest of our days.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Sometimes, on our days off, we’d head north to spend time at her parents’ home.
[Chorus 3]
In the afternoon, we went shopping,
Or visited a large marsh nearby.
That little village was so peaceful and a wonderful place to live.
[Bridge]
We enjoyed camping by the banks of a beautiful river during the day.
It was a time of such richness, truly the best moments of our lives.
[Final Chorus]
In the afternoon, we went shopping,
Or visited a large marsh nearby.
That little village was so peaceful and a wonderful place to live.
[Outro]
