sloes

I pricked my fingers when I picked sloes

my toes froze when I picked sloes

and now it's the blood of those sloes that drip slowly onto my heart burning with its acid

shining with its blues

(in winter's skies

with tries

cries

and lies)

I cannot deny myself

I will sleep for hundreds of years

where is the now

I am

still your slave

my heart is fine

the longest winter in my life is over

I sleep in the past
I live in the future
just where is the now

the day I believed you
that my heart is fine

hold on, heart

hold on

we don't want to know the future
we want to know there is future
bright bright future

along the canals
you came

into the sea
you left

the leopards aren't that dangerous in the end,

he said,

and walked into the forest

along the canals you came
you came into my life

along the canals

followed and chased

by foxes and boats

fed with

blackberries and evening rain

you came into my life then

I can grow without a weapon or a dream..
(Efterklang)

hold on love

my left eye tears independently from the right one

today I'm accepting it

what is real

I danced with the shadows when you were gone

when you were gone I danced

with the whole world I danced

I danced with you when you were gone

now that you are gone I dance

nothing was still then

I tried

to catch it with a silver pin

just then my head spinned
