It’s Been a Cold Fall
(Johan Bengtsson)
It’s been a cold fall
And it will just grow colder
And colder and colder
Until
The winter comes on
And it doesn’t stop there
‘Cause the coldness is creeping
Beyond
The walls of my house
And I sit here alone
In your shadow of things
That has gone
And you stand there so nice
In your white gown
And praying and praying
“Please let me inside”
But I can’t let you in
‘Cause I know what you’ve brought me
The times when you’ve entered
Before
And it’s been a cold fall
And it will just grow colder
And colder and colder
And colder and colder
And colder and colder
Than cold…
And the rain keep on falling
From skies that grow greyer
And I light up a fire
Alone
And I watch you outside
Of my house from the inside
And drinking my tea with a
Silence that creeps in me
For it’s been a cold fall
And it’ll be a cold winter
And then there is nothing
At all
And it’s cold…
When you fall….
And it’s been a cold fall for you
And you keep on falling
And falling and falling
From me
And I can’t let you in
And I can never save you
Again from the troubles
You bring
And it’s cold…
When you fall….
Yes, it’s been a cold fall
And it will just grow colder
And colder and colder
And colder and colder
And colder and colder
And colder and colder
And colder and colder
Than cold
