Twilight Images Calling
KristinaVoices whisper behind meThey remind meEvery nightOf another existenceFar in the distanceIt comes in sight
I can see them clearMy folks at the crossroads wavingLosing a child foreverI see them cry
It's as if they're hereMy people of time gone byThey come to me when night is fallingTwilight images calling
Karl OskarYou've been looking all abandonedAnd so desolate latelyAnd it breaks my heart to see itBut I think I know why
KristinaI was only just remembering
Karl OskarIt's our memories blind usWhat you long for lies behind usIn a time long gone byYou know why we cameLet us never forget
KristinaDon't you ever dream?Do you feel no regret...
Karl Oskar & Kristina...for the past and for the old folks
Karl OskarIt's a child I rememberHow she held on to her papaHow he had to let go
One day they will thank usOur children and their childrenBecause we crossed an ocean
KristinaI know they will...
Karl OskarI have an ideaAnd I think it's one that will cheer you upI'm going to write to your father back homeI will ask him to send us some apple seedApples from home - from the old Summer RoseGrowing here in your garden!
KristinaNever will my childrenLie in the green grass where I lay
Never gaze at the same skyWatching the clouds flyA summer's day
They will never hearThe sounds of my April eveningsSounds of the long day dyingWhen day is done
They will never knowThis longing at set of sunThat comes to me when night is fallingTwilight images calling
