Maja's Song

Couldn’t lend him
to you forever
said the hard man
from above

Made you to
a giver and a savor
But also to a loser of love

Made your heart
big enough to carry
every kind of pain

Made you to a dream
for marriage
but also to someone
I must drain

Gave your eyes
the colour of an ocean
where anybody could drown

I’d swear an oath
on your sterling friendship
but I will always
let you down

In storms and rain
it’s hard to light the candle
and I’m sorry when
it’s snowing on his stone
The gravel-walk’s so familiar
with your footsteps
that’s a sound that could
make me leave the throne

Couldn’t lend
him to you forever
said the hard man
from above
