Time keeps painting my darling
Ripped all the flowers in the garden
Oh baby come home, you angels bring her home
Imens står solen over højen
Han mindes den sommer hvor hun strålede
Forsvandt i haven grøn, og træernes sang hun fandt
Time keeps painting my darling
And the garden keeps on singing the old song
Oh baby still I am waiting in the light
Hoping the angels would carry you home
Den sang tog mørket i sin pote
Den bar hang kvinde i dens kolde favn
Og lagde hende for hans dør i silke kjole
Hoping the angels would carry her home
Leaving it all with my only friend
Her beauty was lifeless on the stair
Oh baby I'll carry you away into the garden's tale
But every thing died and turned to stones
I laid her down under the old oak
Seeing it all blossom for ever more
Time keeps on painting my darling
And the garden keeps on singing the old song
Oh baby now I know you're in the light
Painting it all with your colourful songs
Imens står solen over højen
Hans skygge kastes ud i haven grøn
Forsvandt for evigt og uden en note
Hoping the angels would carry her home
Leaving it all with my only friend
Her beauty was lifeless on the stair
Oh baby I'll carry you away into the garden's tale
But every thing died and turned to stones
I laid her down under the old oak
Seeing it all blossom for ever more
Time keeps on painting my darling
Ripped all the flowers in the garden
Oh baby you're home, you angels where are you
Even with alternate translations, I do not understand this one - this story is not clear: did he murder her? And why did he not bury her but only leave her body to rot beneath the tree? does anyone understand this?
