Norwegian Wood Songtext
von Milton Nascimento

I once had a girl
Or should I say
She once had me

She showed me her room
Isn′t it good
Norwegian wood?

She asked me to stay
And she told me
To sit anywhere

So I looked around
And I noticed
There wasn't a chair

I sat on a rug
Biding my time
Drinking her wine

We talked until two
And then she said
It′s time for bed


She told me she worked
In the morning
And started to laugh

I told her I didn't
And crawled off
To sleep in the bath

And when I awoke
I was alone
This bird had flown

So I lit a fire
Isn't it good
Norwegian wood?

She asked me to stay
And she told me
To sit anywhere

So I looked around
And I noticed
There wasn′t a chair

She told me she worked
In the morning
And started to laugh


I told her I didn′t
And crawled off
To sleep in the bath
