Lilja, I see your eyes
they are big as northern skies.
If I could afford pearls and jewels
I would give them to you.

Lilja, I touch your hair
it is wavy, long and fair.
If I could have a lock or two
I would give my heart to you.

Well it's all over town
about this new love that you found.
If I must leave then I will go
and drag my heart to Jericho.
