Listen to a demo version of "The Thing," the second song on Scenes from an Icelandic Novel.

The Thing

Bjarni was a man of few words, but he sure knew how to charm the ladies. Here is his song to his neighbour/lover, Steinun.

Nightfall
I'm all yours
Things we can't do outdoors
Conscious of the hour
Time we should devour

Silent
Interlude
Botticelli nude
Open up to me
Feel the urgency

You've got the thing I want
You've got the thing I need
I'm not the begging kind
But you've got me on my knees
And I don't feel like coming up for air

Hush
Don't make a sound
Don't rush
I'll turn you around
Tracing every curve
Trembling like a bird
