letra de split pea soup - råskog

it’s my first day off for a long long time
tuesday the 8 th february 1952
split pea soup in the cooker
i’m out of thyme so a pinch of salt and pepper will do
i also have a table a chair a bed and the radio
chanel two operator just announced a special with brahms that goes round n round through the weekend
i read the morning paper without really getting the big picture of it all

my hands don’t even seem familiar anymore
it’s like someone borrowed them and returned it all hard and scourged

instead a cup up coffee takes me back to that morning in 1929
you’d just walked out the shower when we heard that some brokers just jumped out of buildings in new york city
you made a mess on the floor with all that water from the shower and you started to cry
it can be like that sometimes i suppose

my hands don’t even seem familiar anymore. it’s like someone borrowed them and returned it all hard and scourged

when you left a year later i wasn’t myself anymore for some time
i guess it was around about that time i started to smoke cigarettes
the illness came to us as a big surprise and i couldn’t stand seeing things in a clear light and the smoke really helped to blur out the lines and the contours of the past times
from my window i can see cars come and leave the general store in p-wnee, oklahoma
it used to be all slow around here but it seem that the pace of time has picked up even in these backlands
even in these backlands

my hands don’t even seem familiar anymore. it’s like someone borrowed them and returned it all hard and scourged
even in these backlands
even in these backlands
even in these backlands
even in these backlands
