Stockholm

We can shine forever
Above your church spires
In your midsummer night fires
In your beautiful winter gloom
We can shine forever
Spread out my ashes
Deep in your darkness
At the bottom of your black lagoon
Blackbird on a wire
Your gaze never tires
Your eyes never close
You follow my every move
Never seem to disapprove
Which direction should we go?
Is this an omen or a warning sign?
You’re living proof that
All beginnings have an end
We may find ourselves again
On a road to Stockholm
We can shine forever
Behind your metal gates
Where your Nobel Prize debates
Where the tanks never bothered to shoot
We can shine forever
Your position is neutral
'Cause fighting is brutal
No need for blood to be spilled
Blackbird on a bridge
Wings extended
Scaring up the dust
Running from the frost
Now our paths have crossed
Now it’s just the two of us
Is this an omen or a warning sign?
You’re living proof that
All beginnings have an end
We may find ourselves again
On a road to Stockholm
We can shine forever
Follow me gently
Listen intently
Make sure I have something to say
We can shine forever
It’s not done for charity
Your purpose is clarity
And you’ve always lived that way
Blackbird through the glass
We’ve hit an impasse
Just give me a wink
You follow my every move
Never seem to disapprove
Just tell me what you think
Is this an omen or a warning sign?
You’re living proof that
All beginnings have an end
We may find ourselves again
