Alesund

[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
