[Verse 1]
Those cold nights are back again
Norway morning greet my daily toil
That old familiar smell
Fallen leaves return to our soil

[Chorus]
From the first day it has been with me
Since my first steps outside it's been there
Nok en skumring levd for siste gang
Autumn leaves, I'm back again

[Verse 2]
The altar has broadened
Vast plains of it now
Twenty years of contemplating, hating
The larger the life, the closer is death

[Chorus]
From the first day it has been with me
Since my first steps outside it's been there
Nok en skumring levd for siste gang
Autumn leaves, I'm back again

[Bridge]
Noen synger på Norsk igjen
Noen toeyer grenser
Noen strammer tøylene
Noen sier at alt er som før
Hvis du bare leter
[Verse 3]
Those cold nights are back again
Norway morning greet my daily toil
That old familiar smell
Fallen leaves return to our soil

[Verse 4]
The altar has broadened
Vast plains of it now
Twenty years of contemplating, hating
The larger the life, the closer is death
