Landscapes & Portraits

lyrics

I’ve been alone since the night you left
In my room and in the world
On the western coast // With the Irish Sea
In the heatwave sun where I used to live
In the fields or the galleries
With the landscapes and portraits
Where I saw your face // In another girl
And I welled up in that quiet room
Or on a train through the Nordic day
Where I went just to get away
I saw beauty // I cannot describe
And I came to terms with my loneliness


Took a lot of time till I felt fine (Just living days without you)
I guess it was the same for you as well (In the autumn of your new life)
There’s nothing I can feel for you but love (Even from a distance)


I know Bergen was beautiful
The beauty filled my mind
As I walked alone through quiet streets
And felt at peace with everything

And I know my life is meaningless
But you were a meaning to me
When I was young and I didn’t know
You still lose what you won’t let go


Like the love of your life
On the third of July
In a garden of birds
And the memory still hurts


I was smoking in the garden in November
When I opened my eyes to see her there
It all feels like a dream now but I swear that
Her hair was the colour of moonlight

Then I lay in bed with the bird song in the blue sky
And I closed my eyes to see her there
Oh, I feel life more intensely drunk and dreaming
And the emptiness enters when I wake
