Järnspöken [English translation]
Järnspöken [English translation]
They burned Grönan and the school stands alone there now
The bike stand is empty still, though the holidays are over
They felled the chestnut tree in the avenue in front of the playground
And I move through silently, home is not heard here, I am the spectre
I don't know why, but perhaps this is why I remember it so well
Your big eyes, your brown hands, your sharp knees
Was it you I saw, like a shadow from out of my dreams
Was it you I saw, you who I swore to never forget
They dig in the park and the frost on the ground becomes a defence
And by the corner of the church where the railway goes, they have blocked it off
Someone lies in the grass, with frosty clothes, so still and white
And the blue lights flash, think what one can do with a little knife
And I don't know why but I always return here
It must have been something we did, something we said here that changed my life
Was it you I saw, like a shadow from out of my dreams
Was it you I saw, you who I swore to never forget
Was it you I saw, like a ghost from dead dreams
Was it you I saw, have I finally managed to forget
