For a fortnight she left home
To see the Scandinavian sky
She had a teenage dream
Of a certain handsome boy.
And her afternoon was lazy
On the border of the lake
She drove the people crazy
Both an angel and a snake.
[Chorus]
Don"t miss that day
You had dreamt of it too long
Swedish nights will make to you
Throw it away
Heartaches cannot be wrong
How could any other soul
Join in the gardens of her light
Though the gates had been so small
Though the hedgerow looked so tight.
More and more she seemed to wave
Upon the streams of phantasy
Daydreams led her to a place
Where she always wished to be.
[Chorus]
She lost every glance of doubt
When the midnight sun turned red
Felt the tension about
And the trance in her head.
Lay awake had lost a dream
But had found a brighter light
She knew to be herself a stream
In the Scandinavian night.
[Chorus]
To see the Scandinavian sky
She had a teenage dream
Of a certain handsome boy.
And her afternoon was lazy
On the border of the lake
She drove the people crazy
Both an angel and a snake.
[Chorus]
Don"t miss that day
You had dreamt of it too long
Swedish nights will make to you
Throw it away
Heartaches cannot be wrong
How could any other soul
Join in the gardens of her light
Though the gates had been so small
Though the hedgerow looked so tight.
More and more she seemed to wave
Upon the streams of phantasy
Daydreams led her to a place
Where she always wished to be.
[Chorus]
She lost every glance of doubt
When the midnight sun turned red
Felt the tension about
And the trance in her head.
Lay awake had lost a dream
But had found a brighter light
She knew to be herself a stream
In the Scandinavian night.
[Chorus]
