For Kerstin.
Well, you have to take a chance to win. But I lost....
The love flew away on light wings.



Swallow, follow me.


I didn't know what I had lost
I didn't know what to win
I stood there hollow, talking honestly to you

I told you what was on my mind, but you refused to understand
You made it clear and understandable
Without saying anything about it at all, I was far too old....

High is the sea and high are the walls of love
that keep you from me.

So I'm leaving now, outside it's cold
I'm walking in and through the frozen grass
My heart is given in your care, It's given to get you aware
I asked you, begged you, please to go with me
But you wanted something else, you wouldn't show,
So you stayed.

Swallow, follow me,
Swallow, follow me.


Now I don't know what I've done, You're too quiet that's no fun,
I've just talked about what I feel and what I felt.

There's no excuse for you, to get really mad at me
Forget it, 'cause I just want to share a while with you
without saying anything about it at all
You're far too young

High is the sea, and high are the walls of love
that keep you from me.

Leaves falling down through a flashing light
of moonglow tearing all my dreams apart
Miserable days waiting ahead
where time is blocked and restless standing still

I regret I told those thoughts to you
'cause you couldn't treasure them in your heart,
Oh, your heart!

Swallow, follow me,
Swallow, follow me.
