Lyrics

Summer Solstice



look accross the water everything I was meant to see is ahead of me

and it feels like christmas, around/the/world the su-mmer solstice sets a very festive scene

this landscape new to me, the old one?s gone, back to to ash, I burned it down

I am the emigrant, fled my pain, relax, get sane and settle down

and who are you my pretty, you make me weak at the knees
without a doubt you?d be the one to make my world go round

and maybe you my pretty, will be the one that I need to keep my feet firmly planted on ground

so take my hand my pretty,....we?ll-go and take the ferry to hel-sinki and get back before the spires sound

as the sun shines night and day


a landscape new to me, the old one?s gone, back to to ash I burned it down

I am the emigrant, fled my pain, relax, get sane and.........

Down at the old town café where I?m made to feel safe and I feel at home

the one with eh cherry wood face overlooking the water with the broken stones

where I found my escape with all of the re-gular working folks



and who are you my pretty, you make me weak at the knees
without a doubt you?d be the one to make my world go round

and maybe you my pretty, will be the one that I need to keep my feet firmly planted on ground

so take my hand my pretty,... We?ll-go and take the ferry to hel-sinki and get back before the spires? sound

as the sun shines night and day

look accross the water everything I was meant to see is ahead of me

and it feels like christmas a-round/the/world the summer solice sets a very festive scene
