Schänis is a municipality in the Wahlkreis (constituency) of See-Gaster in the canton of St. Gallen in Switzerland.
Schänis is first mentioned in 972 as Schennines. Until 1798 it was the capital of the Herrschaft of Gaster and until 1831 it was the capital of the District. In the War of the Second Coalition, part of the French Revolutionary Wars, it was the site of several battles between the Habsburg forces and the French Revolutionary Army: in particular, the first and second battles of Zurich and the Battle of Winterthur were fought there, or nearby. It was considered part of territory necessary to hold if the Coalition forces were to secure the Swiss Cantons. On the morning of 25 September, prior to the second Battle of Zurich, Friedrich Freiherr von Hotze and his chief of staff were killed there while conducted a reconnaissance ride near the village of Schänis, on the Linth river by a party French scouts from the 25th Demi-brigade. Initially, Hotze was taken from the battlefield to the church in Schänis, where he was buried. In 1851, his body was moved to Bregenz and established in a monument there.
I don’t know much about love but I see
every time you look into her eyes
there is a spark, a deep connection
that you could never hide away
She wishes that she could fly
She wishes to run away with you
To that field where you lie
Into your arms again
You showed her what love really is
You taught her all the ways how to live
There will always be days she’ll need you
And in your heart you know
If only you could see the way
she looks at you everyday
thinking back on those days with you
there’s no one else, you know it too
Cuz every waking moment
She wants to be with you
6 years have passed
and she’s still addicted
she’s had the pleasure to
meet other guys but it’s true
I am head over heels for you
I wish that I could fly
I wish to run away with you
To that field where you lie
Into your arms again
You showed me what love really is
You taught me all the ways how to live
There will always be days I’ll need you
And in your heart you know
If only you could see the way
I look at you everyday
thinking back on those days with you
