Kung av sand

Snippet

Lyrics
Hör du sången dom spelar på radion
varje ord verkar handlat om dig
Hur du knackade på mitt i sommaren
men kom aldrig mer igen
Såg en mås cirkulera vid hamnen
som om han letade efter en vän
Samma morgon det regnade på stranden
där jag gick ensam igen

Här kommer kung av sand
här kommer kungen av ingenting alls
Här kommer kung av sand
här kommer kungen av ingenting alls

Såg din ande, hon vandra vid vattnet
Hennes fotsteg försvann i en vind
När jag vaknade upp under vinden
kände jag värmen av din kind

Åh - åh

Här kommer kung av sand
här kommer kungen av ingenting alls
Här kommer kung av sand
här kommer kungen av ingenting alls

Hej, hej
Hör en kung av sand
som kallar
Hej, hej
Hör en kung av sand
som kallar

Här kommer kung av sand
här kommer kungen av ingenting alls
Här kommer kung av sand
här kommer kungen av ingenting alls
Här kommer kung av sand
här kommer kungen av ingenting alls
Här kommer kung av sand
här kommer kungen av ingenting alls
Ingenting alls...
Ingenting alls...

English translation

King of Sand

Can you hear the song they play on the radio
Every word seems to be about you
How you knocked in the middle of the summer
but never came again
Saw a seagull circulate by the harbor
as if he was searching for a friend
That same morning it rained on the beach
where I walked alone again

Here comes the king of sand
Here comes the king of nothing at all
Here comes the king of sand
Here comes the king of nothing at all

Saw your spirit, she walked by the water
Her footsteps disappeared in a wind
When I woke up under the wind
I felt the warmth of your cheek

Oh - oh

Here comes the king of sand
Here comes the king of nothing at all
Here comes the king of sand
Here comes the king of nothing at all

Hey, hey
Hear a king of sand
calling
Hey, hey
Hear a king of sand
calling

Here comes the king of sand
Here comes the king of nothing at all
Here comes the king of sand
Here comes the king of nothing at all
Here comes the king of sand
Here comes the king of nothing at all
Here comes the king of sand
Here comes the king of nothing at all
Nothing at all...
Nothing at all...

Comments

Per: "Was written on an acoustic Gibson guitar (like the one Lennon had on the sleeve of 'Dizzy Miss Lizzy'/'Yesterday'-single) in a hotel room in Sydney in January 1995. Bored? Home sick? I dunno... Herrlin plays exquisite bass, I blow in my G-harmonica." Micke: "Another little Petty-influence. I think the chorus is great and my floor tom is tuned so low it can work extra as a bass drum any day."
