[Intro: Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir]
We came here on his back
And we caught your eye
The salty ocean wind
Made the seagulls cry
The rocking of his house
Had me holding on
But I knew that I was safe
From there on out
[Verse 1: Nanna]
And the waves that hit his face
Marked the past
And the the furrows on his skin
Oh, how time goes fast
[Chorus: Nanna & Ragnar Þórhallsson]
And we are far from home
But we're so happy
Far from home, all alone
But we're so happy
[Post-Chorus: band]
La, la-la la
La-la la, la-la la
La, la-la la
La-la la, la-la la
[Verse 2: Nanna]
After every sunny day
Came a stormy night
That's when Finner would say
"Keep your heads held high"
[Chorus: Nanna & Ragnar]
And we are far from home
But we're so happy
Far from home, all alone
But we're so happy
[Post-Chorus: band]
La, la-la la
La-la la, la-la la
La, la-la la
La-la la, la-la la
[Chorus: Nanna, Ragnar & band]
And we are far from home (La, la-la la)
But we're so happy (La-la la, la-la la)
Far from home, all alone (La, la-la la)
But we're so happy(La-la la, la-la la)
[Outro: band]
Hey, hey! Hey, hey!

Hey, hey! Hey, hey!
Hey, hey!
Hey, hey! Hey, hey!
Hey, hey!
Hey, hey! Hey, hey!
Hey, hey!
