Words and music by Mark Kozelek:
No this is not my guitar
I'm bringing it to a friend
And no I don't sing
I'm only humming along
Up here in the air
I'm just mumbling at the clouds
Wanting to be known
While I pass the lonely hours

I came down from the moon
I saw you in the rain
Laughing with some people
Hair dripping down your face
Your calm hypnotic eyes
With Scandinavian glow
I felt you like a flame
Kindling my cold bones

Tonight you were my muse
As I built it and I strung
Trying not to drown
In the helicopter alone

Alesund
Alesund

From the crowd I heard
You sing a pretty line
Was it there so much love
That I wanna cry
I thought about it long
Had you repeat it in my ear
I couldn't place it though
But loved you being so close

I should've played it then
From the intro to the end
When they offered me the stage
At the bar we landed in
But I turned and walked
Away from all the fun
And back into the black
Seaside night of Alesund

Alesund

amazing song!!!

[LoveStallion]

Saw him in LA a year ago. One of the best shows I've ever seen. Pure talent.

Granted, during the show, Mark said, "I'm not talented. I just f***ing practice."

Bless him.
