Lyrics

Summertime in Copenhagen

Sunday afternoon in June

All alone in my new apartment

Almost too sad to write and sing this tune

 

Through 15 months

Our secret love has survived trouble, doubt and fights

But 15 years are so much stronger

Is this how and when our little story ends?

 

And how are you this very moment?

Though not alone - you may be inside

Somewhere down there in Southern Europe

You and your family on holiday

 

Through 15 months

Our secret love has survived trouble, doubt and fights

But 15 years are so much stronger

Is this how and when our little story ends?

 

So how about us ? As in you & me

Is this the time ? The time we must decide

Time to resign and surrender

End as good friends - grateful for what we shared

 

Through 15 months

Our secret love has survived trouble, doubt and fights

But 15 years are so much stronger

Is this how and when our little story ends?

 

If there is fate – do you think it can fail?

Or should I not have been yours years ago

But maybe chance and timing are all that matters

So fate or chance : How and when do we end?

 

All is fair in love and war

And though this affair was surely love and more

This war is not fair I can never win you

‘cause your love for him is for yourself and them

 

A stronger love – unselfish love – a mother’s love

Story

From the 2^nd Summerhouse session with Morten where I also brought the drums which were used at the end of this track. After trying several ideas I realized it needed to be a slow electro-ballad based on the piano (which Morten then suggested be the Fender Rhodes piano sound, good choice). He also worked the interesting electronic percussion that drives the rhythm discreetly. The words ? Another failed love story where I blame external conditions but actually am to blame myself.
