Текст песни My Father Came From Tönsberg

My father came from Tönsberg, a little bit outside town

Just by the hillside before they built the bridge

Then he moved to Karlstad and bought us a row house

Electric fireplace

Coming home from the nightshift he passed all the houses by the park

While thinking "we're going to move here soon"

But soon never happened and then he turned sixty three

It was time for retirement; I had left home by then

Now I live in a one-room flat but I could use some more space

It would be nice to have one bedroom more

I can cycle to work now, takes me ten minutes at most

So I don't want to end up too far away from here

I can no longer recall the sound of my daddy's voice

Or if what he was thinking is what I'm thinking now

And I no longer know if what I say is something that I really mean

Or if I've heard it from someone with a louder voice than mine

But someone has said there's so many years ahead

Let them start right now, please let them start right now

Yeah someone has said there's so many years ahead

Let them start right now, please let them start right now

Standing at my window I see out but no one sees me

All the people down there could be just like I am

But I don't want to know if they have any secrets

And I won't tell them mine

And it is true that I always dress up well

And it is true that I try to make them smile

But nobody noticed so I went home again

And if I show them more than I have planned

And if I show them more than they expect

Where would it take me and who'd forgive me then

But someone has said there's so many years ahead

Let them start right now, please let them start right now

Yeah someone has said there's so many years ahead

Let them start right now, please let them start right now

My friends are doing real' well, one is a CEO

Now he has bought a boat

Walking by all the villas by the sea on his way to catch the morning train

He thinks to himself that "I'm going to move here soon"

But soon never happens and if it did we would never even know

Hold onto my hand now it's getting dark again

But someone has said there's so many years ahead

Let them start right now, please let them start right now

Yeah someone has said there's so many years ahead

Let them start right now, please let them start right now
