Christian Kjellvander - Roaring 40's lyrics

rate me

Humble me as if I were ten

unfulfilled dreams and captains

in a distorted reverie I made out her call

the vastest desert of them all

drawn, shiny calm, to your mystery

I wanted revenge

but so, so did she

"I am the eldest of three sisters

born down around the roaring forties

I have been sent to be your mistress

young man you're coming down with me"

So I recited from my rut, still undecided in my gut

how I wish, it was enough for me - the love of a family

"we could so easily enjoy you

and easier we could destroy you

me and my sisters never age

me and my sisters rage"

ok, lord grant us a daughter of our own

we'd name her fire, because the water is worn
