| And I'm just a kid, just turned 21
|
| Neither evil nor good, like any guy
|
| But I was born with clubfoot
|
| It was an inheritance from my father and when he died
|
| He said "My son, stay away from the trotting track"
|
| But Dad, I did like you until my love disappeared with another
|
| In the town where I lived, you are someone or no one at all
|
| Mom said "Be patient and you will get somewhere"
|
| When the lanterns are lit on the other side of the bridge, yeah
|
| Tonight God has spared Hisingen, but love spares no one
|
| It was Friday, it was cold out there, on the sidewalk the ice was glistening
|
| There he went who won my beloved, with someone else close beside him
|
| I do not know where everything went wrong, because I have done so much stupid
|
| That I do not even have a soul to keep my arms around
|
| When the lanterns are lit on the other side of the bridge
|
| Tonight God has spared Hisingen, but love spares no one
|
| And right here in the third verse I hit the last nail
|
| Yes, just when the night released the shadows behind one
|
| Because right there it burned in my hand, from a used gun
|
| When I closed my eyes and he shot
|
| And then I drag my foot behind me towards the E6
|
| The town was as dark as an open grave around me, man
|
| But I thought in a panic
|
| "If I just cross the road I'm free then"
|
| When the lanterns are lit on the other side of the bridge, yeah
|
| Tonight God has spared Hisingen, but love spares no one
|
| When the lanterns are lit on the other side of the bridge
|
| Tonight God has spared Hisingen, but love spares no one
|
| When the lights come on |
