In 2008 it was recorded by Love Olzon on the tribute album Andra sjunger Olle Ljungström and by Pernilla Andersson on the album Gör dig till hund. Im 2012, Magnus Uggla performed the song in the third season of Så mycket bättre.

Där borta vid pilen har jag lagt min far En anonym urna är allt som finns kvar Av den som förstod mig, när jag var till besvär Trots all den kärlek fanns jag ej där Jag önskar jag stannat, jag skulle blitt kvar Den sista stunden, det borde vart jag, och min far Han lärde mig växter och dess namn på latin Om fideikommiss och Boursin Men följde mig gärna in glamrockens land Tog del av min kunskap om engelska band Allt från John Strummer till Johnny Mars Stod på agendan då det var jag, och min far Jag saknar hans humor, som var hans sigill Den som la grunden för att jag finns till Som präglat min uppväxt, ända fram till I dag Som gjort att min son är densamma som jag Jag får ta del av drömmar han har På samma vis som då det var jag, och min far Där borta vid pilen, har jag lagt min far En anonym urna är allt som finns kvar Fast jag fann aldrig modet till att säga adjö Trodde nog aldrig att du kunde dö Cirkeln ska slutas, det har jag kvar Vi ska enas I jorden jag, och min far Cirkeln ska slutas, det har jag kvar Vi ska enas I jorden jag, och min far
