Alesund

Lyrics

[Verse 1] No, this is not my guitar I'm bringin' it to a friend No, I don't sing I'm only humming along Up here in the air I'm just mumblin' at the clouds Wanting to be numb While I pass the lonely hours [Verse 2] 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 Of Scandinavian glow I felt them like a flame Kindlin' my cold bones [Verse 3] Tonight you were my muse As I belted and I strummed Trying not to drown In the helicopter hum [Refrain] Ålesund Ålesund [Verse 4] From the crowd I heard You sing a pretty line Was it: "There's so much love - That I want to 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 [Verse 5] I should have played it then From the intro to the end When they offered me the stage At the bar we landed in But I turned and walked Away from all the fun And back into the black Seaside night of Ålesund [Refrain] Ålesund Ålesund Ålesund Ålesund
