Matthew Logan Vasquez – Oslo lyrics

[Verse 1]
I fell in love with an angel from the north
We were happy in Texas
We got news that her daddy was ill
So we planned our exit
Many tears my mother would cry
Without her grandson's laughter
Time flew by and a month before we left
She was diagnosed with cancer

[Chorus]
The sunsets so quickly here or does it even rise?
The snow will melt then freeze again, turning me into ice
Well I came here for my family but I think it’s time to go
Here I am in the city of Oslo

[Verse 2]
We kept the house and made it a B&B
For Jen and Greg to look after
I miss the flowers and the water in Wimberley
The mountain laurel and the Blanco

[Chorus]
My wife's new job pays better now with better benefits
And the little guy is learning how to speak his mom's language
But it’s hard to be supportive when you're running out of gold
Here I am in the city of Oslo

[Verse 3]
Hey, look at me, just another expat on the run
Not a soul here can know me
There ain't no bridge, just a canyon in my mind
I have never been this lonely
I tried to be a better man than this
To keep the ones most precious
I still love that angel from the north and we were happy in Texas
I still love that angel from the north and we were happy in Texas
