Shores of Norway (A Love Song)

Someday I'd like to sail away

Across the sea and land in Norway

Where the mountains touch the spray

The fjords and rippling tide can say my name

But will it be the same?

Someday I'll find what I'm looking for

See if I can be so much more

Than a glass of vodka, a two dollar whore

I keep wondering if this is what's in store for me

The answers come quietly

And I look inside and I feel her kiss

Crashing waves drowning tenderness

Her eyes are deeps pools of night

Greyer than the dusk, dawns first light

Someday I hope I'll find you, wherever you are

So full of clichés yet I'm wishing on a falling star

As I toss and turn in sleep I'm dreaming far

I feel your heartbeat by me, yet you're so very far away

Will this dream stay?

Desolation calls my name

The waves are crashing in my brain

Pounding surf is in my veins

Pent up frustration that will not drain away

And flow to meet the sea and spray

And maybe I'll never know you name

Or see your face

Maybe we'll never be standing together

In this deserted place

You kissed me like the tide

And you opened up my eyes

And I can't sleep anymore

They say one mans trash is another mans treasure

Throw my life to the sea in pursuit of pleasure

To hear the gulls screech overhead

Sail on till my heart stays dead

And take me back to the fjords of Norway

Burn my body by the sea

Scatter my ashes to the North wind

Maybe there she will look for me
