about

skildrar övernattningen på en ö i Loch Laxford,
Ardmore i nordvästra Skottland

lyrics

Fullmånen lyser i lochens blå yta,
speglar i tidvattnet tidens gång.
Knotten den surrar och någon vill byta
en nattlång sömn mot en stillsam sång.

En natt i livet,en pust utav vila,
en dröm om frihet vi burit till hit,
ett fjärran från virrvarr,stress och från ila,
en tid då ljungen står lysande vit.

Tid till att andas,tid till att söka
bland nattens trevande suckande ljud.
En dag var vi vilsna i myrarnas ångor,
där mossan är mjuk som en kvinnas hud.

En natt har vi sovit på ön invid havet,
sett solen drunkna i stilla våg,
hört pulsarna slå i den tigande vinden,
sett fullmånens spegelbild från den bädd där vi låg
