Ebba
Designer Ebba Strandmark
Goes to sleep each night at 9
She dreams about the teacups
In the morning she’ll design
Some are blue
And some are yellow
Some are green
And some are white
But Ebba’s never found the teacup
That feels right
Ebba rises in the morning
And she gets to work by 9
Where she pours herself a coffee
In a teacup she designed
While the others tell their stories
Of adventures from the night
Ebba wonders if she’ll ever
Share a teacup in her life
Ebba, please don’t worry
All of your dreams will come true
Ebba, please don’t hurry
You’ll find the perfect teacup just for you
One day Ebba gets an email
From a land so far away
It said I love to use your teacups
Oh they brighten up my day
Ebba sends along a thank-you
With a teacup and a smile
Then she gets another email
And he says his name is Miles
My family came from Sweden
Many many years ago
Now I call my home Seattle
Where they sent your catalogue
Oh the teacups they remind me
Of a past I used to know
Every morning when I drink them
Takes me back to my old home
Ebba, please don’t worry
All of your dreams will come true
Ebba, please don’t hurry
You’ll find the perfect teacup just for you
She looks him up on Facebook
And she sees he has no wife
She invites him back to Sweden
For some tea and herring light
And the moment that she sees him
She knows that all is fine
The teacup she’s been waiting for
Has finally arrived
They now have gotten married
They laugh all through the night
And in the early morning
Drink from teacups side by side
Oh she still has dreams of teacups
Spinning all around her head
Each one filled with little children
Like the one within
Ebba, I told you
All of your dreams will come true
Ebba, please don’t worry
This songwriter is taking care of you.
