Ian Sutherland - St. Paul lyrics

[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
