by Björn Jakobsson (melody and original Swedish lyrics written in 2005, translated to English 2017) recorded at Ealsden Digital Studio, April 2017 lyrics: I’d like to feel the scent of your body I’d like to wake up by your side But this is not a song that is bawdy Although my views are pretty wide You’re far away but you feel near It feels as if you were here with me It’s just an illusion, I fear But better than nothing, don’t you agree? Thousands of miles we both are yearning On the other side of our earth Somewhere where the sun will be returning And a new day will be given birth On different roofs we both are wondering how your sun can be my starlit sky Under our feet the world is thundering A wise old world, yet tireless and spry When I rise up and breath the summer air I imagine the same thing happening to you Of course there’s no reason to imagine that I may be lying to myself I may be lying to myself but I’m lying well ’cause it feels true There’s a chilling breeze around you You want to leave all lies behind I wait for the day when I can find who will be the one who will fill my mind What if our despair was light as a feather What if our love was bulletproof What if we one night could get together and watch the starlit sky from the same roof © Treplektra produktion
