Or did I leave you with a doubt We’d reached the end of the line? In high school I briefly studied german And they told us a german class was searching For penpals to exchange languages The teacher left a letter on my desk It had a drawing of Pee-Wee Herman And that’s all it took to make a friend then One day you asked me to come to Berlin I’ve told that story more times than I can count But it still gets me laughing Someone asked if I’d made you up Said "who cares these days who you love?" But in Texas and Brazil People knew that you were real They’d seen the story played out rough And this was ten years before Orlando This was 13 years before Tranemo Before the Russian gay laws Before Viktor Orbán put his paws On the colours of the rainbow Sometimes I think about your father How he turned 180 soon after I hope you’ve been able to reconcile It must be hard but I know you tried If you see him please say hi Every time my heart is hurting I think of the linden trees in Berlin Drinking Fritz Kola With you sleeping on my shoulder Under their shade in Tiergarten I know all stories have an ending But if you’re out there somewhere, listening Send me a postcard if you want No hard feelings if you don’t Your old friend, Jens Lekman - Credits: Director: Jesper Norda & Kristian Berglund / rördrom Photographer: Kristian Berglund Editor: Kristian Berglund Production: Jesper Norda & Kristian Berglund / rördrom Archival footage (may 2003): Lisa Nilsson Jens Lekman - The Linden Trees Are Still In Blossom (Official Video) #JensLekman #TheLindenTreesAreStillInBlossom
