När tusen tankar far

 

Jag ser hur du försöker
att hålla tanken kvar
Jag ser hur du får kämpa
när tusen tankar far

Min hand uppå din axel
som dämpar vredesmod
jag leder dig från vanmakt
jag ger mitt tålamod

Jag ser hur du försöker
din kamp så uppenbar
ibland tar tårar över
när tusen tankar far

Hush my Darling

I never know when anger wakes
Or how you’re gonna act
I never know if will break
Or how I will react

Your eyes get black, your voice so tense
And all the love is gone
In an instance, it makes no sense
Cause rules were never drawn

Hush my darling, please calm down,
Don’t be swept away
Hush my dearest, please calm down
Don’t behave this way.

Then anger goes and sorrow comes
I see the hurt in you
Eyes so sad, so lost in pain
Not knowing what to do.

So hush my darling, please calm down,
Don’t be swept away.
Hush my dearest, please calm down
Don’t let me hurt this way.

Then finally you come to me,
Relaxed in my embrace
Gone is all the wickedness
It’s lost without a trace

Just your swollen eyes can tell
a tear that did not dry
it blends with cold remorse in me
I pray that love wont die.

Hush my darling, please calm down
Don’t be swept away
Hush my dearest, please calm down
Don’t push me away.
