Stina Nordenstam Fireworks
These fires never die They told me this would help I'm walking by the water I'm falling with the tide They said that this would end I went as far as I could I'm on distant ground now Fishing-boats go by I fall asleep too early I scream when no one hears me The waves will wipe it out And we'll be even I turn my face to From wherever the wind blows Is it worth so much to try? I'm at the airport waiting For lights to fade below And then: something else All instant things are fading The pain will go I won't remember And if the lights went out If the elevator stopped If we were lost where I was Or in the deepest tunnel The train just stopped But you gave me no chance I turn my face to from wherever the wind blows Is it worth so much to try?
