Når du sover
Marion Raven Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Når du sover
demper jeg lyset som svever over,
dine skuldre,
ditt gyllende hår,
og hete skinn.

Først når du sover er du min,
dagene flyr og gjør som de vil,
jeg bøyer meg over og snuser deg inn.

Du er fri,
når du sover.
Du er fri,
når du sover.
Når du sover,
kan jeg ikke jage dine spøkelser,
jeg ser du skjelver,
jeg du ser smiler,
du er en hemmelighet du ikke vet om,
når du sover,
du er fri,
når du sover.

Uehehe.(uehehe.)Uehehe.(uehehe.)Uehehe.(uehehe.)Uehehe.

Jeg grubler og tenker i sakte film,
å ikke få sove er en ensom ting,
når du sover (når du sover)
Når du sover er du fri,
når du sover,
er du fri,
når du sover,
du er fri,
når du sover (når du sover)




du er fri,
når du sover...
