Mindblower

Kenneth Gärdestad

Lyrics Translation

[Verse 1]
There was moonlight over the city
And the sun was rollin' away
All the girls look sexy and pretty
So my mind was goin' astray

[Pre-Chorus]
I could feel that need for romancin'
Throw my heart like a sail in the wind
All that night buzz, perfect for dancin'
There are times when it's easy to sin

[Chorus]
She was a sweet kid, she was more
She was a mindblower

[Verse 2]
Well, I danced my way into Hades
Where I drank a beer by myself
Some of the place was crowded with ladies
It was more like heaven than hell

[Pre-Chorus]
In the burning center of action
Sat a girl with that star in her hand
I was nailed by all her attraction
Through the smoky and then start to sweat

[Chorus]
She was a sweet kid, she was more
She was a mindblower

[Verse 3]
When I said, "It starts to be living"
She replied, "So society's dead?"
So I laughed, "You gotta be kiddin'"
'Til she said, "I want you to stay"

[Pre-Chorus]
We just made it straight to her quarters
On that night, I was ready to die
I was drownin' deep in her waters
I was flying up way in her eyes

[Chorus]
She was a sweet kid, she was more
She was a mindblower

[Verse 4]
First, we talked about nuclear power
And the future justice for all
We made love for more than an hour
On a sofa out in the hall

[Pre-Chorus]
When I woke up early next mornin'
I was lying alone on the floor
With my mouth still dreamingly yawnin'
'Til her boyfriend came in through the door

[Chorus]
She was a sweet kid, she was more
She was a mindblower

[Vers 1]
Det var drakfest ute på Gärdet
Och vi slogs om gudarnas makt
Medan vinet fyllde begäret
Efter öm och mänsklig kontakt

[Brygga]
Jag var fri men sökte en boning
För min kropp och min längtande själ
För en stund i stilla försoning
I en famn som tog hand om mig väl

[Refräng]
Just som en mild bris smälter snö
Hon var en Stormvarning!

[Vers 2]
Jag var fast besluten att leva
Rensa ut allt ingrott och dött
Byta bort min ändlösa leda
Mot de hopp som kärleken fött

[Brygga]
Så jag stod där, trånsjuk som satan
Och såg framåt fast livet är kort
Mot en natt på manglade lakan
Och en ljum vind som förde mig bort

[Refräng]
Just som en mild bris smälter snö
Hon var en Stormvarning!

[Vers 3]
Jag har aldrig litat till ödet
Men nu log hon brett framför mig
Och hon sa:
"Vi åker till söder, det finns värme hemma hos mig"

[Brygga]
Hon var ljuv som friden om julen
Hon var fröet till all existens
Som kan gro fast himlen är mulen
Hon var livslusten helt utan gräns

[Refräng]
Just som en mild bris smälter snö
Hon var en Stormvarning!

[Vers 4]
Först så drog vi liv i debatten
Om behov och rättvisekrav
Sen så älska' vi hela natten
På en soffa hon lutat av

[Brygga]
När jag vakna' upp i tamburen
Låg jag ensam på golvet och frös
Hon försvann som snön i naturen
Men jag kände hur ögonen lös

[Refräng]
Just som en mild bris smälter snö
Hon var en Stormvarning!
Stormvarning!
Stormvarning!
