Maja’s Song

Couldn't lend him to you forever
Said the hard man from above
I made you into a giver and a savior
But also to a loser of love

I made your heart big enough to carry
Every kind of pain
I made you into a dream for marriage
But also to someone I must drain

I gave your eyes the colour of an ocean
Where anybody could drown
I'd swear an oath on your sterling friendship
But I will always let you down

In storms and rain, it's hard to light a candle
And I'm sorry when it's snowing on the stone
The gravel walk so familiar in your footsteps
That's a sound that could make me leave the throne

I couldn't lend him to you forever
Said the hard man from above
