Ay-ee-ohh-dee-ay... oh-lee-ay-ee-ohh... Yodel-ay-ee-ohh... [Verse 1] I walk down to the shoreline as the morning mist rolls in The mountains watch in silence, the water cold and still I cup my hands and call out in the only way she knows And deep beneath the surface something ancient starts to glow She rises like a memory, like thunder wrapped in grace The gentlest of all creatures with the wildest kind of face She finds me at the water's edge the way she always does And I remember every reason why she means so much... To me... [Chorus] [Yodel section — joyful and free, rising and falling across three octaves] Yodel-ay-ee-ohh, yodel-ay-ee-ohh Ay-ee-ohh-dee-ay, oh-lee-ay-ee-ohh Yodel-ay-ee-ohh — across the open water Yodel-ay-ee-ohh — she always finds her way The mountains hold our secret and the deep lake holds her name And every time I call her nothing else remains [Verse 2] We swim out to the island where the tall pines meet the sky She carries me through currents that would pull the strongest tide Her back beneath my fingers, ancient scales like river stone Out here among the water I have never felt alone I think of all the seasons we have shared across the years The storms we rode together and the ones that brought me tears The night she pulled me upward from the darkness and the cold A debt I cannot repay her — a story worth its weight in gold [Pre-Chorus] Some bonds are forged in fire And some are forged in water Some friendships have no language But every word still matters [Chorus] [Yodel section — warmer and fuller than before, strings swelling underneath] Yodel-ay-ee-ohh, yodel-ay-ee-ohh Ay-ee-ohh-dee-ay, oh-lee-ay-ee-ohh Yodel-ay-ee-ohh — across the open water Yodel-ay-ee-ohh — she always finds her way The mountains hold our secret and the deep lake holds her name And every time I call her nothing else remains [Bridge] [Orchestral swell — strings and brass rise to full epic height] I was young and lost the day we found each other She was young and wild and she chose to stay Not by chain or saddle — nothing ever bound her She comes because she wants to — and that means everything [Yodel section — triumphant and soaring, the longest and most powerful of the song, echoing across mountains and water before gradually settling] Yodel-ay-ee-ohh, yodel-ay-ee-ohh Oh-lee-ay-ee-ohh, ay-dee-ay-ee-ohh Yodel-ay-ee-ohh, yodel-ay-ee-ohh Ay-ee-ohh-dee-ay... oh-lee-ay-ee-ohh... [Final Chorus] Yodel-ay-ee-ohh — across the open water Yodel-ay-ee-ohh — she always finds her way The mountains hold our secret and the deep lake holds her name And every time I call her — she comes [Outro] [Strings fade to a single note, silence settles] [Final yodel call — slow, intimate and fading, like a whisper across still water] The sun goes down behind the peaks She slips below the surface — slow and calm I stand alone upon the shore Yodel-ay-ee-ohh... Ay-ee-ohh... Yodel-ay... [Echo fades into silence] [End] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A High Fantasy yodeling epic told from the perspective of a woman with a rare and ancient bond — a friendship with a Nessie-like creature who lives in the deep lake beside her mountain home. Not a warrior's quest or a battle cry, but something rarer: a love song to a friendship forged in water. She calls the creature with a yodel, they swim together to a nearby island, and she remembers — how they met, the storms they shared, the night the creature saved her life. The yodeling is not a trick or a spell — it is simply their language, developed over years together. Intimate in heart, epic in scale, with long soaring yodel sections that carry as much emotion as the lyrics themselves. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © 2026 Ande Records Lyrics by Ande All rights reserved. https://ande-records.se/
