Over the Treetops (MTV Unplugged)

[Verse 1]

Hey, beautiful farm on the top of the hill

Whenever I pass by I'm thinking I will

Find someone like you, goodbye avenue

And then I'll be yearning for this too

[Chorus]

Over the treetops fly

Birds in the sky

Over the treetops high

High in the sky

[Verse 2]

Stop calling her restless, she moves with the sun

Gets out of her bed past noon, closer to one

I follow her mind, I follow her blind

She leaves and I'm two steps behind

[Chorus]

Over the treetops fly

Birds in the sky

Over the treetops high

High in the sky

[Bridge]

A trip is a fall

To fall is to trip

A trip is a fall

To fall is to trip

A trip is a fall

To fall is to trip

A trip is a fall

[Verse 3]

She changes how she feels about things, that's okay

It works for me, I think I like it that way

Nothing is true, something is false

Address the child as a whole

[Chorus]

Over the treetops fly

Birds in the sky

Over the treetops high

High in the sky

Over the treetops fly

Birds in the sky

Over the treetops high

High in the sky

Over the treetops fly

Birds in the sky

Over the treetops high

High in the sky

(spoken)

Thank you! Alright, erm, before we do the next one, looks like we in- have a few things to d- sort out. But, er, I'd like to take the opportunity then, while we're doing that, to introduce the musicians to you guys. Erm, our string section, our wonderful string section over here, is Madeleine Ossum, Emilie Lidsheim, and on cello, Tove Erikstad. And behind me, erm, on multiple instruments, a guy who arranged a lot and produced a lot of what you're hearing today, Mr. Lars Horntveth. On drums, a familiar face, Karl Oluf Wenneberg. Clearly you're all following him on Instagram or something. Yeah, he just got a lot of shit for leaking the news about this event a couple of weeks too early. Which is actually my fault, but I didn't know how to do it, so he got the blame. So, er, on bass, Even Ormestad. And, on keyboards, Morten Qvenild
