Swedish Nights - Anyone's Daughter, Heinz Rudolf Kunze

For a fortnight she left home

To see the Scandinavian sky

She had a teenage dream

Of a certain handsome boy.

And her afternoon was lazy

On the border of the lake

She drove the people crazy

Both an angel and a snake.

Don"t miss that day

You had dreamt of it too long

Swedish nights will make to you

Throw it away

Heartaches cannot be wrong

How could any other soul

Join in the gardens of her light

Though the gates had been so small

Though the hedgerow looked so tight.

More and more she seemed to wave

Upon the streams of phantasy

Daydreams led her to a place

Where she always wished to be.

She lost every glance of doubt

When the midnight sun turned red

Felt the tension about

And the trance in her head.

Lay awake had lost a dream

But had found a brighter light

She knew to be herself a stream

In the Scandinavian night.
