They burned the greens' and the school stands all alone now
Yet, the bicycle racks stands empty, even though the holidays are over
They are felling chestnuts trees in the avenue in front of the schoolyard
And I move quietly, don’t belong here - I am the ghost

I don’t know why, but maybe it’s because why I remember it so well
Your big eyes, your dark hands, your sharp knees

Was it you I saw, like a shadow from my dreams
Was it you I saw – you I swore never to forget

They are digging in the park and the frost on the ground becomes a defence
And in the corner of the church where the railroad goes have they blocked

Someone is lying in the grass, with frosty clothes, so still and white
And the blue lights is blinking, imagine what you can do with a little knife

And I don’t know why, but maybe it’s because why I always return to this place
It must have been something we did, something we said that changed my life

Was it you I saw, like a shadow from my dreams
Was it you I saw – you I swore never to forget
Was it you I saw, like I ghost from my dreams
Was it you I saw, have I finally succeeded to forget?
