Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Genom frostigt glas syns solen som en huldra
Ditt hår det flyter över hela kudden
Om du var vaken skulle jag ge dig
Allt det där jag aldrig ger dig
Men du jag ger dig min morgon
Jag ger dig min dag
Långt bakom ditt öga svinner nattens drömmar
Du drömmer om nåt fint jag ser du småler
Om du var vaken skulle jag ge dig
Allt det där jag aldrig ger dig
Men du jag ger dig min morgon
Jag ger dig min dag
Utanför vårt fönster hör vi markens sånger
Som ett rastlöst barn om våren dagen kommer
Lyssna till den sång som jorden sjunger
Om du var vaken skulle jag ge dig
Allt det där jag aldrig ger dig
Men du jag ger dig min morgon
Jag ger dig min dag
Likt en sländas spröda vinge ögat skälver
Solens smälta i ditt hår kring pannan välver
Du jag tror vi flyr rakt in i solen
Om du var vaken skulle jag ge dig
Allt det där jag aldrig ger dig
Men du jag ger dig min morgon
Jag ger dig min dag
Jag ger dig min morgon
Jag ger dig min dag
