Klar
Siri Nilsen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

som tåken slører til mitt sinn
sakte brer seg ut og gjør meg blind
som tiden pakker allting inn
i sitt tette vev av minner

sånn samler jeg på alle mine ord
sånn følger jeg mine gamle fotspor
jeg teller alle sorger jeg har hatt
så de ikke blir borte og forsvinner

mmm
la natten ta det netter tar
mmm
la natten ta
men la den være klar

la regnet skylle bort alt jeg har
la mørket viske bort alt jeg var
om alt skal glemmes i natt
la den være klar som denne

la vinden sluke alle mine ord
og sanden svøpes over mine fotspor
ta alle sorger jeg har hatt
la dem legges i jord, glemmes

mmm
la natten ta det netter tar
mmm




la natten ta
men la den være klar
