lyrics

Oslo (Through Her Eyes)

The winter sea will crash, the ocean it will moan
As I’m guided by the stars and set the sails for home
My woman waits for me so it comes as no surprise:
Until we reach the shore I’ll see Oslo through her eyes.

The skies turn dark & black; the waves do rage and swell
A thousand leagues from home, a voyage that’s close to hell
But my woman waits for me, so I know I can surmise:
Until we reach the shore I’ll see Oslo through her eyes.

Chorus
And her eyes are as tender as the morning
And her heart contains the warmth of the sun
And I’ll never leave her on any other morning
Once this voyage is done, once this voyage is done.

My homeland calls to me like a long lost sailor’s song
The storms of northern seas can do me no more wrong
For my woman waits for me, while ragged seabirds cry
So until we reach the shore I’ll see Oslo through her eyes.

Long I have been gone for desperate was my desire
In search of glory’s gold my greed was like a fire
But now my woman waits with love until I die
Until we reach the shore I’ll see Oslo through her eyes.

Chorus

(Instrumental)

Chorus

So thunder, lighting, rain; unleash all heavens’ tears
I’ll never quit my quest until her heart is near
For my woman waits for me there’ll be no more sad goodbyes
And until we reach the shore I’ll see Oslo through her eyes
I’ll see Oslo through her eyes; I’ll see Oslo through her eyes.
