Septemberhimmel vid min eld / Glömd är hård kastanj / Vinden spränger
Alla dörrar / Västan visar tand / Stilla vilar hopp och tro / På en
Sommaräng
(som ett ljus ifrån nånstans) / Jag väntar inte på nåt månsken / (som
Ett ljud närmar sej land) / Jag väntar inte på nåt alls / (som ett
Röra vid din hand) / Ingen dans under kristall / Jag vill bara höra
Havet slå mot land
Stenar klär sej grått försiktigt / Silverbåt från stan / Skrämmer
Vågor upp mot skogen / Mås o vilsen svan / Tomma papper i maskinen /
Bleks av sol från syd
(som ett ljus ifrån nånstans) / Jag vill inte hissa vita flaggan /
(som ett ljud närmar sej land) / Inte fly historien / (som att röra
Vid din hand) / Jag vill sjunga om en vän / När jag hör havet slå mot
