Sun Kil Moon - Alesund

No this is not my guitar
I'm bringing it to a friend
And no I don't sing
I'm only humming along
Up here in the air
I'm just mumbling at the clouds
Wanting to be known
While I pass the lonely hours
I came down from the moon
I saw you in the rain
Laughing with some people
Hair dripping down your face
Your calm hypnotic eyes
Your Scandinavian glow
I felt them like a flame
Candle in my cold bones
Tonight you were my muse
As I belted and I strummed
Trying not to drown
In the helicopter drone
Alesund
From the crowd I heard
You sing a pretty line
Was it: "there's so much love -
that I wanna cry".
I thought about it long
Had you repeat it in my ear
I couldn't place a thought
without you being so close
I should've played it then
From the intro to the end
When they offered me the stage
At the bar we landed in
But I turned and walked
Away from all the fun
And back into the black
Seaside night of Alesund





hayir bu benim gitarim degil
onu bir arkadasa goturuyorum
hayir ben sarki soylemiyorum
yalnizca mirildaniyorum
burada gokyuzunde
sadece bulutlara mirildaniyorum
bilinmesini istiyorum
yalniz saatler gecirdigimin
ben aydan geldim
seni yagmurda gordum
birkac kisiyle guluyordun
sacin yuzune dokuluyordu
senin sakin buyuleyen gozlerin
senin Iskandinav pariltin
onlari bir alev gibi duyumsadim
soguk kemiklerimde mum gibi
bu gece sen benim esin perimdin
kemerimi takip tingirdatttigimda
bogulmamaya calisirken
uzaktan kumandali helikopterde
Alesund
kalabaliktan duyuyorum
guzel bir soz soylemissin
" oyle cok ask var ki
aglamak istedigim" idi sanirim
uzun sure dusundum
benim kulagima da soylemis miydin
eger cok yakinimda olmazsan
kafama yer etmiyor dusunceler
onu bastan sona kadar
calmis olmaliyim o zaman
indigimiz barda
bana sahneyi teklif ettiklerinde
ama ben durmadim ve uzaklastim
butun o eglenceden
ve dondum tekrar deniz kenarindaki
kara gecesine Alesund"un
