Faller regn ver stan igen
Faller regn hr i din park
April r en kall och nyckfull vn
Du r en ung Jeanne d'Arc
Jag gick som en tiggare lngs krlekens vg
Se mannen och hans hunger
Han brinner i mrkret som en bengalisk eld
Str hr under ditt fnster och sjunger
Du vet dom sa till mig: "Bst du aktar dig
Dr kvinnan r, r krig om guld"
Dom sa till mig: "Hll ditt tempel rent
Och lmna det aldrig fr en kvinnas skull"
Men mitt tempel blev ett fngelse
Jag vntade i mrkret p en Baskerville-hund
Men i natt vaknade jag av en drm om dig
Sen kunde jag inte f en blund
Isabella
Lt inte dom djvlarna ta dej!
Dom som talat vitt och brett om en enda vg
Dom skriker framt och hugger din fot
s att senan gr av i ditt steg
Det kan hnda s mycket p bara ngra r
Du kan tappa den dr blicken som r s klar
Tappa dina drmmar, tappa alla svar
tappa allt du har
Isabella
Isabella
Isabella kom ut i natt!
Stt p dina tank-girl boots
Den svarta klnningen och din mammas vigselring
Ta dina U2 biljetter och din Cohen bok
Smyg ut ur huset, sg ingenting
Vi ska ha ett hemligt frhllande som tv agenter i kriget
Vi ger varandra meddelanden under personligt eller p nt museum
Jag r en gladiator som rymt, det r ett pris p mitt huvud
Men jag slss fr dig om du vill p den hr stans Colosseum
Du vet dom sa till mig: Va inte en sn idiot!
Lt den dr kvinnan ta hand om dig
Dom sa till mig: Hll dig i skinnet nu
Och kom ihg, det r inte synd om dig!
Men allt det dr, Isabella, det knner du nog till
Du r ju dr sjlv som en prinsessa i ditt torn
Har du bestmt dig n? Ska du g den skra vgen?
Ja, alla dom dr tillhr en frlorad generation
Isabella, lt inte dom djvlarna ta dej
Du r en kvinna full av liv
Dom vill fnga in dig och tmja dig
Men du ska va vild och fri
Dom sger att det finns en regnbge i smrtan
Utan trar fanns den inte dr
Kommer maj str allt i blom
Kommer maj r snart sommaren hr
Isabella
Isabella
Ah, Isabella kom ut i natt!
Du vet frlskelsen r en tokig idiot
Du slr igenom drren i ansiktet p honom men han klmmer in sin fot
Nr jag ser dig vill jag ta dig till en vingrd i Toscana
Till Tangier, till Spiddal, till Vermont, till South Ventara
Allt jag kom hit fr att tnda lite hopp
F det att sjuda och sjunga en stund i din kropp
Det r hrda tider, folk gr p knna, vi mste lmna allt det hr igen
Ja, r det inte alldeles klart, min vn?
Du var inte fdd nr jag dansade i gryningen
Nr visionen tog mig som hller liv i mig r
G inte in i det! Det finns ingenting att hmta dr!
Bara den stora hungern som aldrig kan mttas, min vn
Du mste kpa ihjl dig fr att f kunna jobba ihjl dig
Du mste va som alla andra fr att dom andra ska se dig
Hur mnga drmmar har du kvar nr du fyllt tjufem?
Hur mnga stora planer? Hur mnga vgar hem?
Vem slss fr Gud idag
Vem slss fr kvinnan, fr dom svaga
Allt det dr det lter som en gammal riddarsaga
Fr mycket folk verallt, skogarna dr, haven dr
Allt rusar in vidare i mardrmmen och ingen tycks veta varfr
Och frndringarna dom tar hundratals r
Det gr lngsamt, s lngsamt men, Isabella, det gr
En dag ska du lra dina barn nnting bttre du med
Lra dom att lyssna, lra dom att se lite mer, lite mer, lite mer
Vacker r den som reser sig, som vgar tro
Som trs ett ja i alla nej, som vgar bygga bro
ver hav av bitterhet, ver dsligt nattkvarter
Vacker den som r srbar, vacker den som ser
Du r vacker Isabella, som ett rdjur i skogen
Som en stjrna p himlen, som en flicka mitt i natten p krogen
Som ppeltrdgrdarna i maj runt Kivik
Som vinden, som regnet, som sjlva livet
Men lt ingen dyrka in dig i ett fngelse av sknhet
Dr du blir en docka som lever i en hrva av yta och dumhet
Isabella, lt inte dom djvlarna ta dig
Ser du lngt dr borta, ser hur det ljusnar
Det gr en spricka i natten ifrn st till vst
En strimma av hopp fr alla trtta och frusna
Kom ut s ska jag skriva den hr sngen till dig
Det r vad jag gr, det r vad jag kan
Hr du hur fglarna sjunger?
Snart str morgonen i brand!
Isabella
Ah, Isabella
Isabella kom ut i natt!
Kom ut i natt!
