First song written for the album. That's my friend Siggi stomping on a piano stool.
- Snorri

lyrics

Carol

G Am
Now that my days are numbered
G
I sit and pray,
Am D
Thinking about our days
C G D
Thinking about my only love

Now that the hour is coming
I sit and howl
Yearning for a kiss
Pleading for a farewell kiss

C
If you’re gonna come
D
Come now
C D
Sweet Carol I will not let you down
C D
Cause the greatest win of all
C C/b Am F D
Is to die beside the one you love

Now I can feel it coming
Now I can see
The things that I’ve done wrong
Won’t matter when I’m gone

Down in this icy river
I’ll close my eyes
For the very last time
I believe that it’s my time to go

If you’re gonna come
Come now
Sweet Carol I will not let you down
Cause the greatest win of all
Is to die beside the one you love
