Helgafell

from Curtains by Paris Street

/

about

Helgafell is a small mountain in Iceland. Supposedly - if you walk up the mountain in a certain way, and go back down the mountain in a certain way - the mountain will grant you three wishes. This song features a wish in each of its verses.

lyrics

I wish I was able to tell from the start
To trace the path of my kiss down to your heart
So I could know right then for sure if you felt the same

I wish I had the time to prolong this goodbye
This sleepy front porch hug I'll make do with tonight
Is not enough for me - is not enough for me, oh no

Hey, it's a beautiful day
But there's too much to discern
And too much that's held from view

Hey, it's a beautiful day
But there are too many words
And too much that I keep from you

And I can still smell the cherry gloss on your lips
I wish I knew the secrets in your fingertips
I'm trying not to breathe
I'm trying not to breathe
