Silver to Smoke

Verse 1

Salt

Heavy wood

Curing in the rafters

Gold scales hang on iron hooks

Chimneys

Brick

Blowing white

Above the Baltic blue

Square white towers stand against the sky

Fish

Cold

Chorus

Born in Svaneke

Raised in Svaneke

Salted

Smoked

Savor the silver

Savor the silver

Born in Svaneke

Born in Svaneke

Post-Chorus

Hey hey

The silver turns to gold

Hey hey

The smoke is getting old

Verse 2

Greasy fingers

Newspaper scrap

Tearing at the tender skin

The bones come out in one thin strip

Alder

Fire

Burning low

Down by the harbor wall

I saw you waiting by the red stone church

Waiting

Alone

Chorus

Born in Svaneke

Raised in Svaneke

Salted

Smoked

Savor the silver

Savor the silver

Born in Svaneke

Born in Svaneke

Bridge

The sun goes down on the market square

The sun goes down on the rocky shore

The sun goes down on the herring shed

I wanted more

I needed more

I tasted more

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Born in Svaneke

Raised in Svaneke

Salted

Smoked

Savor the silver

Savor the silver

Born in Svaneke

Born in Svaneke

Outro

Five o'clock

Smoke rises

Still hungry

Svaneke gold

Svaneke gold

Svaneke gold
