Lyrics

Inger

A man from California’s land

Found love and life in Sweden’s

When his baby girl was born

Her heart was formed from both those regions

All the beauty of the north

And all the promise of the west

She wasn’t the full blood of either

But she was made of both their best

There on her mother’s farm they grew

For 12 long winter seasons

And her daddy sang her songs

That hinted of a world of freedoms

She would have loved to know for sure

But she was left without an answеr

And could just watch as the song stopped

And he was torn to dеath by cancer

But the questions filled her heart

Just like his books still filled her shelf

Until she left with a guitar

To find America herself

And she searched through San Francisco

And she searched the redwood forest

For the father who had missed her

The singer and guitarist

And she wondered what her life would be

In doubts of what might happen

Walking lost in New York City

Just a college dropout in Manhattan

In a sublet room in Harlem

Holding strangers in the dark

Or in sunshine heavy mornings

Watching kids in Central Park

Find more clues about her father

Or choose to go home to her mother

Go 3,000 miles one way

Or 3,000 in the other

In a downtown music bar

She shows up early for no reason

Someone’s on stage with a guitar

So she goes inside and sees him

And he’s kind of like her dad

A bald and young Jewish bohemian

And he’s funny but he’s sad

And she thinks maybe I won’t leave again

She doesn’t know a thing

But it’s the love he’s always needed

Sometimes lovers win

But sometimes love dies defeated

And in 5 years time she’s free again

And Sweden calls her softly now

And she’s 30 and she’s beautiful

And she doesn’t cry so often now

And she thinks of all the lives she’s lived

And the time spent in between

And when she plays her daddy’s songs

She knows exactly what they mean
