Twilight Images Calling lyrics

Kristina

Voices whisper behind me

They remind me

Every night

Of another existence

Far in the distance

It comes in sight

I can see them clear

My folks at the crossroads waving

Losing a child forever

I see them cry

It's as if they're here

My people of time gone by

They come to me when night is falling

Twilight images calling

Karl Oskar

You've been looking all abandoned

And so desolate lately

And it breaks my heart to see it

But I think I know why

Kristina

I was only just remembering

Karl Oskar

It's our memories blind us

What you long for lies behind us

In a time long gone by

You know why we came

Let us never forget

Kristina

Don't you ever dream?

Do you feel no regret...

Karl Oskar & Kristina

...for the past and for the old folks

Karl Oskar

It's a child I remember

How she held on to her papa

How he had to let go

One day they will thank us

Our children and their children

Because we crossed an ocean

Kristina

I know they will...

Karl Oskar

I have an idea

And I think it's one that will cheer you up

I'm going to write to your father back home

I will ask him to send us some apple seed

Apples from home - from the old Summer Rose

Growing here in your garden!

Kristina

Never will my children

Lie in the green grass where I lay

Never gaze at the same sky

Watching the clouds fly

A summer's day

They will never hear

The sounds of my April evenings

Sounds of the long day dying

When day is done

They will never know

This longing at set of sun

That comes to me when night is falling

Twilight images calling
