Sun Kil Moon - Alesund lyrics

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

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

Tonight you were my muse
As I belted and I strummed
Trying not to drown in the helicopter hum

Ålesund ålesund

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

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

Ålesund ålesund
Ålesund ålesund
