about

Recounting me experiences of spending a week over the summer in the Lofoten Islands, in the far north of Norway.

lyrics

Well I took a train from the west overnight
Going past the woodlands
The mist rising up from the lake
Like ghostly figures in the night
The sun never goes down in these parts
It hangs in the air
And the glassy marble water
Floats slowly by
On my way to the Lofoten Islands

Caught the boat from Bodo
Up to the mountains and the islands
It was there that I met young Saga
Out on the deck
I stayed with her way past my stop
And we headed for Vaeroy
To sit by the bonfire
Under the midnight sun
We spent the night together
And said that it was meant to be
We were drunk on the magic and beauty of the night
As the sea crashed o'er the rocks
Of the Lofoten Islands

Saga and I parted ways
She would stay and I would leave
And though we'd never see each other again
We knew that it was perfect
I packed my bags and headed for the north
Camped out by a peaceful lake
Where the only noise was the birds up in the sky
Hitched up to Haukland Bay
Along winding roads by the coast
While the snow-capped peaks remind you
It's an arctic summer
On the Lofoten Islands
On the Lofoten Islands
On the Lofoten Islands
