daylight has gone
darkness is on
catfights and stars that are listening
vagrants and bums
riffraff and scum
sharing their dream in the prison

children are sleeping so peaceful at night
like guardian angels are watching outside
and I’m writing, at least I’m beginning
a love kind of waltz in my head
’cause my legs are you know rather skinny
and so are my arms and my neck

I’ve made many poems and songs in my time
with lyrics whatever as long as they rhyme
’cause my legs are you know rather skinny
and so are my arms and my neck

daylight has gone
shadows are long
starshine from Garden of Eden
then in my teens
I read Nils Ferlin
wonderful poet of Sweden

hoping to get his forgiveness or bliss
for attempting a humble translation like this
I’m writing, at least I’m beginning
a love kind of waltz in my head
’cause my legs are like his rather skinny
and so are my arms and my neck
