♬ Lyrics

Kvöldið hefur flogið alltof fljótt
Fyrir utan gluggann komin nótt
Kertin er' að brenna upp
Glösin orðin miklu meir'en tóm
Augnalokin eru eins og blý
En enginn þykist skilja neitt í því
Að timinn pípuhatt sinn tók
Er píanistinn sló sin lokahljóm
Við hverfum hægt og hljótt, út í hlýja nóttina
Hægt og hljótt, göngum við heim götuna
Einu sinni, einu sinni enn
Eftir standa stólar, bekkir, borð
Brotin glös, sögð og ósögð orð
Þögnin fær nú loks sinn frið
Fuglar yrka nýjum degi ljóð
Við hverfum hægt og hljótt, út í hlýja nóttina
Hægt og hljótt, göngum við heim götuna
Hægt og hljótt, göngum við heim götuna
Hægt og hljótt, í gegnum hlýja nóttinа
Einu sinni, einu ѕinni enn
