After Gärdestad’s death, his brother Kenneth spoke to the press and in a book about Gärdestad’s mental health problems during the last decade of his life.

-------------LYRICS--------
Himlen är oskyldigt blå,
som ögon när barnen är små.
Att regndroppar faller som tårarna gör,
rår inte stjärnorna för.
Älskling jag vet hur det känns,
när broar till tryggheten bränns.
Fast tiden har jagat oss in i en vrå,
är himlen så oskyldigt blå.
När vi växte upp, lekte livet,
vi var evighetens hopp.
Det var helt självklart att vår
framtid skulle bli,
oförbrukat fri.
Somrar svepte fram,
jorden värmde våra fötter där vi sprang
Rågen gungade, och gräset växte grönt.
Hela livet var så skönt.
Himlen är oskyldigt blå,
som ögon när barnen är små.
Att regndroppar faller som tårarna gör,
det rår inte stjärnorna för.
Älskling, jag vet hur det känns,
när broar till tryggheten bränns.
Fast tiden har jagat oss in i en vrå,
är himlen så oskyldigt blå.
Frusna på en strand,
Flög vi med drakar medans
tiden flöt iland.
Vi var barn som ingen ondska kunde nå
himlen var så blå
Nu tar molnen mark.
Jag var förblindad av att solen sken så stark.
Men mina ögon kommer alltid le mot dig.
Kan det begäras mer av mig.
Himlen är oskyldigt blå,
djupaste hav likaså.
Att regndroppar faller som tårarna gör,
det rår inte stjärnorna för.
Älskling, jag vet hur det känns,
när broar till tryggheten bränns.
Fast tiden har jagat, oss in i en vrå.
Är himlen så oskyldigt blå
ENGLISH translation
The sky is innocently blue
-------LYRICS----------
The sky is innocently blue
like the eyes of small children
That raindrops fall like tears do
is not the fault of the stars
Darling I know how it feels
when the bridges to safety are burned
Although the time has pushed us in to a corner
the sky is so innocently blue
When we grew up, life was a game
We were eternitys hope
It was obvious that our future would be
untouchable
Summer swept along
the earth warmed our feet where we ran
the rye swayed, and the grass turned green
All the life was so beautiful
The sky is so innocently blue
like the eyes of small children
That raindrops fall like tears do
is not the fault of the stars
Darling I know how it feels
when the bridges to safety are burned
although the time has pushed us in to a corner
the sky is so innocently blue
Frozen on a beach
we flew with kites as the time floated ashore
We were children that no evil could reach
The sky was so blue
Now the clouds touch the ground
I was blinded by the strong sunlight
But my eyes are always going to smile at you
Can anything more be asked of me
The sky is so innocently blue
the deepest sea too
that raindrops fall like tears do
is not the fault of the stars
Darling I know how it feels
when the bridges to safety are burned
although the time has pushed us in to a corner
the sky is so innocently blue
