Too Late For Edelweiss

You say that love never was there for you
That you never felt the wind high over the treetops
You say that it parts as it reaches your face
And becomes whole again behind you
 
Every cloud is torn
You count all sorrows the night long
And she you loved once
And maybe love still
Does it matter at all?
No, perhaps not
Or perhaps everything in the end
 
You say: do you have matches
Yes, enough if you want to burn down Stockholm
And do you have wine and spirits
So that there will be enough to make the whole bay fill with sadness
It is all too late
Too late for wine, too late for a love pure as snow
Tonight, there is no way back
 
And you wonder who is kissing her now
You wonder who
Who if not you
And those lips that you called yours
It hurts to know
But it hurts as much to wonder
 
You say: do you have matches
Yes, enough if you want to burn down Stockholm
And do you have wine and spirits
So that there will be enough to make the whole bay fill with sadness
It is all too late
Too late for wine, too late for a love pure as snow
Tonight, there is no way back, none at all...
 
Too late for edelweiss
No one at all
Too late for edelweiss
No one at all
Too late for edelweiss...
