Hjerkinn is a village in the municipality of Dovre, in the Oppland county in Norway. It is one of the driest places in the country, with only 222 millimetres (8.7 in) annual precipitation.
The railway station Hjerkinn Station is located on Dovrebanen, at 1,017 metres (3,337 ft) above mean sea level. The highway E6 also passes through the village. It is also served by a small airport. Until 1993 there was mining by Folldal Gruver. The Norwegian military has a camp at Hjerkinn.
The Old Norse form of the name was Hjarðkinn. The first element is probably the stem form of hjǫrðr m 'herd, flock of cattle or sheep', the last element is kinn n 'steep mountainside'. The village of Hjerkinn is lying beneath steep mountainsides, and since this place was an important crossroads with roads to Oppdal and Folldal herds were often driven over here.
Down and lost again,
intetions through the door.
Eyes now with some red
It's swollen evermore.
Vision fading fast
You are what I picked.
Said I lost again
That you would have stayed
you would have stayed
Don't turn your head so hard
or all your dreams might slip away
You're just like me.
I already said too much
And I was on my knees.
It's on and on again
Nothing new this day
Take your bottles down
Maybe you should have stayed
you said I lost again
then you would have stayed
You would have stayed
don't turn your head so hard
or all your dreams might slip away
you're just like me
And when I look in your eyes
It's not what I wanna see
But it's all I'll have
And I want a starry night
To push you screaming out of my head
For one last kiss
Just give me one last kiss
Just give me one last kiss
Down and lost again
Intentions through the door
Eyes now with some red
Swollen evermore
Vision fading fast
You I would have picked
Said I lost again
And then you would have stayed
I would have stayed
don't turn your head so hard
or all your dreams might slip away
you're just like me
And when I look in your eyes
It's not what I wanna see
But it's all I'll have
And I want a starry night
To push you screaming out of my head
for one last kiss
Just give me one last kiss
