I suppose I'm glad I'm on this train

Somewhere between Dunkirk and Paris

Looking out from here at half-past France

Things are much different here than Norway
C
Not so cold
G
Wonder when we’ll be in Dundee
D
Old hollweg knows his way around
C
He’s no fool
G
Wish I’d get to see my son again

Floating in this bay

We’re so far away from home
F C G
Where we belong
