Sivert Høyem Arcadians song lyrics

Vows that have been broken

Can't be made anew

I must turn now to anyone

In the absence of you

There she stands in the doorway

And she calls me in

Some bitter awakening

This all has been

She sits on a wooden floor

Her house is down by a stream

Trees hush in the night sky

It's like you're dreaming in a dream

And more sweetness awaits

In the arms and the loins of sin

Some bitter awakening

This all has been

Arcadians, Arcadians, Arcadians

We're Arcadians all

Holy was the ground

Where two people met

They came from a different place

That they would soon forget

Guess you sacrifice some things

When you play to win

You take what you can't use

And you trade it in

But soon you'll be going for most anything

Some bitter awakening

This all has been
