Westfjords

(albüm: The Cormorant I & II - 2020)

Did you try to work it out
On an island somewhere singing with the seagulls?
Did you wanna wait it out
Run away to where the sunlight never ends?

Well, it's fun till it's over
Tell yourself a story
Something you can laugh at
But you're always the loner
Whipping up emotions too deep for your friends

Growing old while all the rest of us
Were growing up

Will you tell us how you lived
In the weather with the weatherbeaten men?
Will you tell us what you did?
Sing us all a song before you leave again

Well, it's fun till it's over
Tell yourself a story
Something you can laugh at
But you're always the loner
Whipping up emotions too deep for your friends

Growing old while all the rest of us
Were growing up

Running, running from the future
Everyone knows what you're doing
You only get one chance at this
You only get one chance

Running, running from the future
Everyone knows what you're doing
Think of all the things you'll miss
Think of what you'll miss

(Running, running from the future)
Well, it's fun till it's over
(Everyone knows what you're doing)
Tell yourself a story
(You only get one chance at this)
Something you can laugh at
(You only get one chance)

(Running, running from the future)
But you're always the loner
(Everyone knows what you're doing)
(Think of all the things you'll miss)
Whipping up emotions too deep for your friends
(Think of what you'll miss)

Growing old while all the rest of us
Were growing up
(Where are you in your corner of the world?)
Were growing up
(Don't you know at home we've got ourselves a crisis on our hands?)
Were growing up
(Did you find the secret written in the Westfjords while your friends)
Were growing up
(Growing up)
