Westfjords

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

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

Where are you in your corner of the world
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
