the Swedish girl is rising
nobody is there beside her
the sun is her only greeting
another day spreads before her

she goes to where her lover was
a part of her has died
just dreams in the night

walking where they used to be
he left with his money
his mistresses are memories
she carries to the open sea

she goes to where her lover was
a part of her has died
just dreams in the night

who could need a lonely face
whose miseries have left their trace

wind blows sand into her eyes
once she cared she could have cried
but a part of her is torn away
no words have passed her lips today

she's alone on the sand
but she can feel a lover's hand
far away he went to see
how alone his life could be 

she goes to where her lover was
a part of her has died
just dreams in the night

who could need a lonely face
whose miseries have left their trace
