  • Why are you looking grave?
    Are you thinking of something to say?
    Why are you sitting there?
    Are you hoping that someone will stare?

    Your mouth is hiding
    You've got smiling eyes

    Why are you looking grave?
    Are you thinking of something to say?
    Be I thinking of you?

    Your mouth is hiding
    You've got smiling eyes
    Softly dividing
    What they see in your face
    From what you feel like inside

    Who are all those who greet me?
    Does it matter if I know?

    Your mouth is hiding
    You've got joyless eyes
    Softly contriving
    All the terrible things
    That shook up our hearts enough Writer/s: BO RUNE MADSEN, JOHAN HASLUND WOHLERT, JONAS BJERRE TERKELSBOEL, SILAS UTKE GRAAE JOERGENSEN
