ASTRID by Paul Kennelly June 2008
At sunset, when there’s little sound and at my rest, I will be found
thinking of my Astrid
what can I say about this girl, who took my heart and I unfurl ,
my flag of love for Astrid
but oh, you see, she’s far away and tears run down my face to-day sweet sweetness oh my Astrid
companions, brothers at my side, no compensation for the bride
who is, my Astrid
In my mind’s eye, I see her now, with golden hair , I don’t know how
I live without my Astrid
come soon the day, when I , with joy. return to you and Bjorn, our boy
and hold you close, my Astrid
and then again, at sunset time, I long so much to make you mine
that’s when I miss my Astrid
when I’m awake, your in my mind, a kiss, a smile is what I find
oh treasured lips, my Astrid
and in my dreams, I lay with you, in meadow green and morning dew,
oh my darling Astrid
