[Verse 1]
A forgotten chimney dances
In the wind that never stops
On days like these I stretch my blood
With a Single Highland Malt
It gets me on the track
But this town is but a blend
Of sickness, crap and sentiment
I'm gonna pinch a microphone
And stick her name onto the world
[Chorus A]
The sky is down around my head
The leaves are whirling just like chad
And in this blur and fading sight
I must cross a nameless river
In a dark uncharted zone
[Verse 2]
She came all the way from Narvik
And her hair was bloodshot red
She wore a talking heart-shaped clock
On a chain around her neck
She had a bootleg tape
A lost Al Stewart interview
She left me on the day we went to catch 'Metropolis'
She did the London Marathon
She never told me she was blind
[Chorus A]
The sky is down around my head
The leaves are whirling just like chad
And in this blur and fading sight
I must cross a nameless river
In a dark uncharted zone
[First Electric Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Agnetha, please come back
And erase that question tag
Of blood upon my chest
I swear, it's you I love the best
[Chorus A]
The sky is down around my head
The leaves are whirling just like chad
And in this blur and fading sight
I must cross a nameless river
In a dark uncharted zone
[Chorus B]
The sky is down around my head
The leaves are whirling just like chad
And in this blur and fading sight
I must stand the raving riptide
On a distant Delphic shore
[Bridge]
Agnetha, please come back
And erase that question tag
Of blood upon my chest
I swear, it's you I love the best
[Second Electric Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Agnetha, what did I do wrong?
It's the singer not the song!
