Baby, the summer comes slowly
Think if you could see
little Sweden changing form
The houses and the streets are empty
Vacation-time, the country is in a state of emergency
A highway cuts through the centre
over squares and concrete
in a sudden hailstorm
You forget that the nights are short
and the summer, it deceives me
with the sadness of my heart
But baby, tonight you came back
and everything was forgiven
in a rare happy dream
And just in the moment when I wake
the shadow of hope hangs behind in my room
Baby, I know that you are awake
The signal reaches your part of the world
but gets no reply
In the heat the air stands deadly still
Think if you could see
how the process loses speed
Baby, tonight you came back
and everything was forgiven
in a recycled dream
And just in the moment when I wake
the shadow of hope hangs behind in my room
Baby, I have found my way in from the darkness
There is hope of a change
but it takes the time it takes
A new start, I think new thoughts
But everything there that you fell for
is still here
Everything has changed
but I feel the same
Baby tonight you came back
and everything got its explanation
in a recycled dream
And just in the moment when I wake
I see the shadow of hope disappear from my room
The shadow of hope disappears from my room
