Elin Synnøve Bråthen - I Stood In Your Courtyard lyrics

I STOOD IN YOUR COURTYARD I stood a waiting in your courtyard Somehow my feet brought me there Intending to tell you I love you Gathering courage for a year Strangely collected, heart growing strong Thinking it's here I belong Saw shimmering rain flooding your garden All bu*terfly wings fluttering by Old spider webs shiver in darkness And I really wished you had been home I stood a waiting in your courtyard Counting the leaves on your tree Four-thousand-and-nine said: "Go tell him!" Then withered and fell on my head Alarmingly quiet, no light on your porch Never did I see you go Saw shimmering rain flooding your garden All bu*terfly wings fluttering by Old spider webs shiver in darkness And I really wished you had been home *** Saw shimmering rain flooding your garden All bu*terfly wings fluttering by Old spider webs shiver in darkness I'll forever wish you had been home
