lyrics

LEAVING A MEMORY
(Elin-Louise Ahlberg/Patrick Rydman)

Waking up in my bed
Got a home, got a roof over my head
See the rain pouring down,
but here between my sheets
I’m warm and safe and sound

All these things I take for granted
I want for nothing here
I’d be adrift and disenchanted
If they would disappear

How can I know what it means
to be free
When that’s all I’ve ever been?
How can I know what it’s like
to be lost at sea
Facing a storm, leaving a memory
There’s a face on the screen
Eerie eyes of pain,
the saddest ones I’ve seen
She’s a girl on the run
Being born
is the only crime she’s done

All these stories fill my senses
But they’re so hard to take in
Before they break down my defenses
The next game show will begin

How can I know what it means
to be free
When that’s all I’ve ever been?
How can I know what it’s like
to be lost at sea
Facing a storm, leaving a memory?

Hey…
In the harbour, she is down
on her knees
Hey…
And she sees a fence designed
by fear and greed
Hey…
On the other side lies
everything she needs

Here I am, there she goes
It was the luck of the draw
that made it so
Through a cruel twist of fate
I’ve been served my freedom on a silver plate

How can I know what it means
to be free…
