The first song on First Aid Kit’s debut EP, Drunken Trees, which was released in 2008, when Klara and Johanna were only 15 and 18 years old.
It begins with a short intro said by Johanna that gives the song a magical fairytale feeling full of childlike wonder and adventure.
[Intro: Johanna]
There's a city on the top of the mountains
I used to go there as a child
And there's a forgotten forest there
Full of those drunken trees
They look like they're falling apart, you know?
Just like the people there, those fools
Oh no, don't get me wrong
It's a wonderful place
I'm actually headed towards the mountains right now
My train should arrive any minute now
You can follow me, if you want
I mean, if you have time
[Verse 1: Klara]
Birds are leaving over here
I saw them sail away
They looked just like saints
Little one
[Verse 2: Klara & Johanna]
I heard myself whisper your name
I was asleep in a dream
Then you woke me up
Little sun
[Verse 3: Johanna]
The way you look at me know
These lights that used to shine
I've been blowing them out
Little one
[Verse 4: Klara & Johanna]
Well I remember those few nights
When the sky it stared right back at us
Felt so small standing next to you
Little moon
