Asgeir - Summer Guest

My bird flies home from afar
brings the joy of spring to me
O’er the ocean’s endless blue
he never fails
His path is clear and true
Perched upon a branch of green
he rests his legs
from the long journey
Warms my heart with
wondrous song
I listen close
He tells of battles won
From my heart I thank you friend
for this precious melody
for these sweet and pure tones
sweet and pure tones
When the autumn comes again
I ask you from my heart my friend
that you’d have me
sing your song
Oh summer guest
I’ll miss you while you’re gone
From my heart I thank you friend
for this precious melody
for these sweet and pure tones
sweet and pure tones
You’ve made a shelter for my soul
If your language I could speak
I would weave a song
for you of my own
