Elin Synnove Brathen - I Stood In Your Courtyard текст песни

I STOOD IN YOUR COURTYARD
I stood a waiting in your courtyard
Somehow my feet brought me there
Intending to tell you I love you
Gathering courage for a year
Strangely collected, heart growing strong
Thinking it's here I belong
Saw shimmering rain flooding your garden
All butterfly wings fluttering by
Old spider webs shiver in darkness
And I really wished you had been home

I stood a waiting in your courtyard
Counting the leaves on your tree
Four-thousand-and-nine said: "Go tell him!"
Then withered and fell on my head
Alarmingly quiet, no light on your porch
Never did I see you go
Saw shimmering rain flooding your garden
All butterfly wings fluttering by
Old spider webs shiver in darkness
And I really wished you had been home
***
Saw shimmering rain flooding your garden
All butterfly wings fluttering by
Old spider webs shiver in darkness
I'll forever wish you had been home
