My Father Came From Tönsberg 가사

My father came from Tönsberg, a little bit outside town Just by the hillside before they built the bridge Then he moved to Karlstad and bought us a row house Electric fireplace Coming home from the nightshift he passed all the houses by the park While thinking "we're going to move here soon" But soon never happened and then he turned sixty three It was time for retirement; I had left home by then Now I live in a one-room flat but I could use some more space It would be nice to have one bedroom more I can cycle to work now, takes me ten minutes at most So I don't want to end up too far away from here I can no longer recall the sound of my daddy's voice Or if what he was thinking is what I'm thinking now And I no longer know if what I say is something that I really mean Or if I've heard it from someone with a louder voice than mine But someone has said there's so many years ahead Let them start right now, please let them start right now Yeah someone has said there's so many years ahead Let them start right now, please let them start right now Standing at my window I see out but no one sees me All the people down there could be just like I am But I don't want to know if they have any secrets And I won't tell them mine And it is true that I always dress up well And it is true that I try to make them smile But nobody noticed so I went home again And if I show them more than I have planned And if I show them more than they expect Where would it take me and who'd forgive me then But someone has said there's so many years ahead Let them start right now, please let them start right now Yeah someone has said there's so many years ahead Let them start right now, please let them start right now My friends are doing real' well, one is a CEO Now he has bought a boat Walking by all the villas by the sea on his way to catch the morning train He thinks to himself that "I'm going to move here soon" But soon never happens and if it did we would never even know Hold onto my hand now it's getting dark again But someone has said there's so many years ahead Let them start right now, please let them start right now Yeah someone has said there's so many years ahead Let them start right now, please let them start right now
