Robert
dear Robert, much-loved friend of ours
intellectually gifted
reciting Bellman Songs for hours
radiant and with voice lifted
intellectually gifted
you lacked the talent to survive
radiant and with voice lifted
you left this world with forty-five
you lacked the talent to survive
too much fervour, too much wine
you left this world with forty-five
ignoring you were on the line
too much fervour, too much wine
farewell scene with long smile knowing
ignoring you were on the line
you went and left us plenty owing
farewell scene with long smile knowing
reciting Bellman Songs for hours
you went and left us plenty owing
dear Robert, much-loved friend of ours
