Scandinavian Skies

Lyrics

The sins of Amsterdam
 Were still a recent surprise
 And we were flying over
 Scandinavian Skies
 We climbed towards the sun
 We turned and cursed as one
 We pulled the shades
 And closed our eyes
 ♪
 The Stockholm city lights
 Were slowly starting to rise
 And we were strapped against
 Those Scandinavian skies
 The landing gear came down
 And touched the Swedish ground
 And we were all so paralyzed
 ♪
 On the plane
 We were mainly sound and lights
 ♪
 In the veins
 We could play the blues all night
 ♪
 The tour of Germany
 Was bleeding into our eyes
 And we were sailing over
 Scandinavian skies
 We had the Midas touch
 Until we met the Dutch
 And they exhausted our supplies
 ♪
 Who's to pay?
 For this international flight
 ♪
 Who could stay
 We were only there for the night
 ♪
 We watched the power fall
 Inside the Oslo hall
 While all the cold Norwegians cried
 
 Who could say
 What was left and where was right?
 ♪
 By the way
 I could play the blues all night
