Sad Suomenlinna

It's the longest day of the year

It's the oddest way to dissolve into a sea of tears

But deep in the cave of that fortress on the island

You'll find me crying

Sad Suomenlinna

They call me Sad Suomenlinna

You wonder why I chose not to dance

To wander childishly through the dawn?

You've got to pay for some of the good times

You've got to cry for every song

Is there really magic in the mist?

Is there something beautifully tragic I have missed?

I feel terrible, my love

I have ruined another party

I feel terrible, my love

I have ruined another year

Sad Suomenlinna

They call me Sad Suomenlinna

You wonder why I chose not to dance

To wander childishly through the dawn?

You've got to pay for some of the good times

You've got to cry for every song

You've got to pay for some of the good times

You've got to cry for every song

Lover, lover

Come sing for me

Lover, lover

I've earned my lullaby inside a cave
