Norway's Unfortunate Son

from Myth Stories EP by Michael Scott Bates

/

about

A song written for my wife's late brother and father. This song is about grief, sickness, strength and triumph.

lyrics

Poor wealth given to Norway's unfortunate son,
oh his dreams had not yet filled and his nautical love died along with the will.
Oh the lands miss their son, tis he who decided our fate.
Through his branded rope mark will forever stained.

Father is in tango times, the birds breath out off the willows snout and it seems, oh it seems its in the air.

Father is in tango times, the birds breath out off the willows snout and it seems, oh it seems its in the air.

Weary is a virus that spreads to the seam
off the ladies blouse that shouts at the beam.
While the man, while the man still standing alone.
