Juniper
(Johan Bengtsson)
I wanted to give you the stars of the night
And the warmth that they’re carry inside
I went out and search to find in the stores
But what was there ever to find
There was a man with his head down in the mud
His teeth still dripping with blood
I sat down by his side
And asked him to tell what his found
He said it’s one for the people
And one for the city
One for the country
And one for the pity
There’s one for the storm
And one for the day
One for the dawn
And one that just falls away
These houses and buildings, I’ve seen them before
Though I don’t know the place where it died
In these alleys and caverns, we’ve searched there before
But who’s going to tell if he lied?
Who was this man, was his empire to fall
If his hands had been guilty all time?
Who was there, to ask why
When you fell on your knees and cried?
When I wanted to send you the stars of the night
To guide you back to yourself
I went out and searched to find what you lost
As if I did something to help
There was a girl who had been thrown out into the night
Her eyes still bloodshot from tears
I looked up at the man that stood behind
He looked right into my mind
And he said it’s one for the people
And one for the city
One for the country
And one for the pity
There’s one for the storm
And one for the day
One for the dawn
And one that just falls away
I wanted to give you the stars of the night
And the warmth that they’re carry inside
But all that was left, to find in the stores
Was these juniper berries, you’ve seen them before
And there’s one for the people
And one for the city
One for the country
And one for the pity
There’s one for the storm
And one for the day
One for the dawn
And one that just falls away
I wanted to give you the stars of the night
And the warmth that they’re carry inside
But all that was left, to find in the stores
Was these juniper berries, that’s all
