about

To a poem by Svende Grøn. This songs belongs together with "Sensommer skygger" and "Det lyder ganske stille".

lyrics

Der er dage
hvor solen brænder fra en åben himmel.
Græs og tanker tørrer ud.
Skyggerne kortes og alting smelter
mellem mine hænder.

Da trænger jeg
til roen under gamle æbletræer.
Frokost på stole der synker
lidt i jorden.

Der er dage
hvor vinden stormer over marker og
den sorte fjord.
Småkviste mister fodfæste.
Jeg vender ryggen til og vender blikket
mod jord.

Da søger jeg
læet mellem tykke stammer
og tidernes urokkelighed.

Når vinteren
farver i nuancer af sort og hvidt
og frosten sitrer mellem
smerte og velklang
lægger jeg min hånd mod barken
mærker kulden
mærker forskel
mærker himlens tunge åndedrag
