Oslo - Matthew Logan Vasquez

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

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

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

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

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
