Billy Joel Lyrics

"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 Olso hall
While all the cold Norweigians cried

Who could say
What was left and where was right?
By the way
I could play the blues all night
