September
Anden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Søster, tak for dit brev
Jeg har ligget i sengen i en måned
siden sidst du skrev

Fortæl om Stockholm
Bliver hjemme, rejser ikke ud
Søvnløshed, tuberkulose, kassen tom
Efter efteråret fugle flyver
Vi nærmer os hinanden når vi lyver

Nu kommer efteråret med røde bær
Jeg blev genfødt i september, der er stadig smukt her
Nu blusser krigen i Rusland op igen
Man skammer sig over at spise, over at ligge i en seng

Efter efteråret fugle flyver
Vi nærmer os hinanden når vi lyver

Jeg ville ønske at du havde en depression eller sorg
Så ville jeg stryge dig over håret indtil du sov
Jeg har altid tænkt du ville svigte mig igen
Fire kort og intet svar, jeg savner dig min ven

Efter efteråret fugle flyver
Vi nærmer os hinanden når vi lyver




Efter efteråret
Vi nærmer os hinanden
