Nanna‘s question: “are you with me?”

Nanna‘s intro:

“I rode my horse so steady and fast / But you always walk in slowmotion to me / The dance of two the dance of three / You reach your hand a hand to me / And listen sweet cowboy come dance with I / So beautiful presents I’ll hand to thy / There’s no way I can there’s no way to try / Tomorrow will be the end of I / I rode my horse so steady and fast / But you always walk in slow-motion to me / The longing for three the longing for four / I always want you more and and more / The horse is fast my wedding is near / But your presents are of only that of fear / I rode my horse so steady and fast / But I always walk in slowmotion to you”
