Fann Wenner packade sin vska i april
och stngde drren till sin lgenhet
Han tog tget till Amsterdam
och bodde p bordellerna dr ingen vet
vem man r eller vart man kommer ifrn
Han hll sig till en flicka ifrn Libanon
Efter fjorton dar tog han en
frja ver till England
och kpte en biljett p Paddington
Upp genom landet for Fann Wenner
Grna kullar, industristder
Stannade ngra dagar i Edinburgh
Kpte nya skor, nya klder
Till Dundee och Inverness
och sen upp till Wick
vidare ver till Orkney
en kvll
D himlen var ljus och full av fgelskrik
Han tog in p Fovaren Hotel
Han byggde sig ett altare p sitt rum
av Scapa och Highland Park
Han skrev brev han aldrig skickade
och tappade mobilen
en mnskensnatt frn ett tak
Stjrnorna brann som eldar i hans huvud
och en storm kom in och drog frbi
I den stormen hrde han altets rst
och han fylldes av ro och frid
(en vers med ackord och munspel)
Klockorna ringde i S:t Magnus Cathedral
och dimmorna drev bort, det blev klart
Solen slickade The Standing Stones torra
s skoningslst, s underbart
Stormfglar gled som projektiler
ver vgornas kammar och skum
Stderskan vnde sig om och grt
nr dom bar ut honom frn hans rum
