Allelujah - Christian Kjellvander

A recurring vision of her out on the lawn

The early haze of the seventies sun kept the fevers gone

Curious, placid, green

Now she’s a well faring maiden, a brunette of the dream

But those where the days, so much like today

And that was the difference indifference makes

Allelujah

Summers past all feel as one but dismaled by a move

For reasons I did not understand, but for a new school

And if ever you have fought to hold tears infesting eyes

As you realize a friend is not

But those where the days, so much like today

You say drugs and woman but game is still game

Allelujah

The old house repainted now but still stuck on that street

Children melt in topaz light of faded memory

No matter how it ends cherish these moments

Of solace found in friends

For these are your days continue your play

For you know not the next time you will meet

Someone who knows you best to date and who loves you

All the same

Allelujah
