Snippet


Lyrics
Det finns platser man sett
som för alltid stannar kvar
Och mänskor man mött
man ville se mera av
Så ibland när jag hamnat för mej själv
Så undrar jag nyfiket att just ikväll

Vart tog alla vänner vägen?
Svara mej du, vänner man haft
Vart finns dom nu?
Hej hej sommar, farväl vintertid
Som nu dragit förbi
Som nu dragit förbi

Nu är sommaren här
Med blommor och blad
Jag sitter på min trappa med gitarr och ett glas
Och skyller skyller skyller på tiderna så
På hur allting förändras, det står stilla ändå

Vart tog alla vänner vägen?
Svara mej du, vänner man haft
Vart finns dom nu?
Hej hej sommar, farväl vintertid
Som nu dragit förbi
Som nu dragit förbi

Var é alla mänskor jag hade en gång?
Var é alla vänner, som var här en gång?


Vart tog alla vänner vägen?
Svara mej du, vänner man haft
Vart finns dom nu?
Hej hej sommar, farväl vintertid
Som nu dragit förbi
Som nu dragit förbi

Vart tog alla vänner vägen?
Svara mej du, vänner man haft
Vart finns dom nu?
Hej hej sommar, farväl vintertid
Som nu dragit förbi
Som nu dragit förbi




English translation

Where Did All the Friends Go?
There are places you've seen
that forever stays in your mind
And people you've met
that you wanted to see more of
So sometimes when I'm all by myself
I wonder curiously that just tonight

Where did all the friends go?
Answer me please, friends that you had
Where are they now?
Hey hey summer, bye bye winter time
That has passed by
That has passed by

And now the summer is here
With flowers and leaves
I'm sitting on my doorstep with a guitar and a drink
And blaming blaming blaming the times
How everything changes, it doesn't move anyway

Where did all the friends go?
Answer me please, friends that you had
Where are they now?
Hey hey summer, bye bye winter time
That has passed by
That has passed by

Where are all the people I had once?
Where are all the friends, that used to be here?

Where did all the friends go?
Answer me please, friends that you had
Where are they now?
Hey hey summer, bye bye winter time
That has passed by
That has passed by
