Alesund

No, this is not my guitar

I'm bringing it to a friend

No, I don't sing

I'm only humming along

Up here in the air

I'm just mumbling at the clouds

Wanting to be known

While I pass the lonely hours

I came down from the moon

I saw you in the rain

Laughing with some people

Hair dripping down your face

Your calm, hypnotic eyes

Their Scandinavian glow

I felt them like a flame

Candle in my cold bones

Tonight you were my muse

As I belted and I strummed

Trying not to drown

In the helicopter drone

Alesund

Alesund

From the crowd I heard

You sing a pretty line

Was it, "There's so much love

That I wanna cry"?

I thought about it long

Had you repeat it in my ear

"I couldn't place it though

But loved you being so close"

I should have played it then

From the intro to the end

When they offered me the stage

At the bar when I didn't

But I turned and walked

Away from all the fun

And back into the black

Seaside night of Alesund

Alesund

Alesund

Alesund
