St. Eriksplan (Pt. 1)

Last straw fell silently
In steel needles and empty dreams
Never was her mountain so
She's headed down it and picking up speed
And it's beautiful

They only ask when I don't know
As if he'd tell me where he goes
Lover, could you tide me over
Have I told you what you mean to me
And you're beautiful

Should you come down again
I hope that you remember me that way

The story's reached its end
And now I walk away
Start over somewhere else
Where no one knows
No one knows
No one knows my name

Sweethearts break and sweet spots bleed
And love gives way to loyalty
But nothing's free or guaranteed
And sometimes love escapes such misery
And it's beautiful

Moonlight through broken clouds
Wide country all around
With every mile, she's farther from a lifetime
With each mile, she forgets more
And it's beautiful

Don't look for me again
I will not be coming back this way

The story's reached its end
And I have walked away
Start over somewhere else
Where no one knows
No one knows
No one knows my name
