[Verse 1]
You set off on your odyssey
On an airplane over the sea
To the land of lakes to find your love
Unwanted there, but yet you strove
Guided by your compa** tattoo
On misguided wings of love you flew
[Verse 2]
You stupid half-drunk Swedish man
Too brave or smashed to change your plan
You down another warming drink
And with slurred words you say you think
That she will open up her heart
But she hasn't loved you from the start
[Chorus]
You flew into St. Paul
No warning words no call
To surprise a girl from around the world
I wish you the best of luck
I hope you don't get stuck
Sleeping alone in the cold
I wish I was that bold
[Verse 3]
I can't decide if you're just dumb
Or with a mind made up to come
I hope that you are well prepared
For cold, for loneliness, despair
You are so sure that she'll love you
There's nothing left for you to do
[Chorus]
You flew into St. Paul
No warning words no call
To surprise a girl from around the world
I wish you the best of luck
I hope you don't get stuck
Sleeping alone in the cold
I wish I was that bold
