Norwegian Wood

in AlbumRubber Soul

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

About this Song

Norwegian Wood by The Beatles is a reflective and somewhat melancholic narrative that captures a fleeting romantic encounter. The song, written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, tells the story of a man who spends a night at a woman's apartment only to find himself alone the next morning. The key themes include transient love, desire, and the subtleties of human interaction. A particularly poignant moment is the final verse where the protagonist wakes up to find the woman gone and burns the Norwegian wood, symbolizing a sense of emptiness and unfulfilled longing.
