Sophie Zelmani Complete Lyrics Archive

B i o g r a p h y
(by Elske)

It all started when Sophie, born in a suburb to Stockholm, was 14. Herstepfather taught Image some chords and so she found out she could write songs. "I wrote a song and it felt amazing. I didn't really think that much about what I was doing, really." Says Sophie with typically modest.

She recorded a few songs at a local studio and decided to send the demos to three record companies, with no special expectations. Soon Sony Sweden gave her a phone-call and offered her a record deal. By then she never had played in front of an audience. Sophie started to record her debut album in 1995. The album is produced and arranged by Lars Halapi, who also plays the guitar on all of the songs. Sophie's music has been compared with such great artist as Neil Young, Van Morrison and Bob Dylan. The shimmering acoustic guitar in "Always You" bares the spirit of Neil Young and Van Morrison-like sax riffs underlines the song "A Thousand Times". "I'll See You (In Another World)" radiates the feeling of Springsteen; the song is about her stated beliefs in destiny, wisdom of life, goodness, dreams, close relationships and love. Sophie's music also has a lot in common with singer/songwriters as Joni Mitchell and Jewel Kilcher.

It all adds up to something unique in the history of Swedish music and Sophie's music is liked in many of the world's different parts. Image Even many Americans have taken hear music to their hearts, something that's not so strange considering that the singer/songwriter tradition originated in the US. Swedish critics agree on that Sophie's album is something special. She was awarded a Grammy at the Swedish Grammy awards as best newcomer in 1995, she was also nominated for Best female pop singer. Her album has sold gold both in Sweden and Japan where she is very popular. After promoting her album in the US, she finally started to work on her new album in the autumn of 1997. The second album entitled "Precious Burden" came out in 1998 and showed a new side of Sophie ZelmaniImage - her songs were still as simple and convincing but pain colored the music in deep black shades. Top photographer Anton Corbijn shot the cover photos of the album and his dramatic pictures capture the black beauty that had by then become something of a Sophie Zelmani trademark. Since the turbulence of the first album release Sophie Zelmani has started saying no to interviews she doesn't feel like giving and she'll only go on tour for short periods of time. It just weren't her thing. She wanted to stay home in Stockholm and wanted to play music, not talk about her songs or spend her time on the road.

If the third album "Time To Kill" was the last, painful phase of a drawn-out farewell, "Sing And Dance" is perhaps the musical memory of a - emotional or physical - wound. A wound about to heal, still a bit sore. The darkness and the pain are still present, but more often expressed in the past tense than in the present. The lyrics for the deeply deranging "Gone With The Madness" - where the world, it seems, falls into pieces on the tongue of Sophie Zelmani - talks about love that goes over the top. But the madness is - if not forgotten - well gone.
Sophie writes about serious matters and she always has. Her songs will remind you of trotting horses in an American Western movie as well as of Swedish frost crunching under your soles during a long walk in the chilly autumn night.
Zelmani music is country rock as simple as it can be - voice and guitar, rums and bass, the sound of a saxophone at a distance, the sounds of a flute or violin coming in close. - When I started writing songs for the new album I thought I wanted to do something new, something different. It didn't really turn out that way and in the end things haven't really hanged. One has to recognise one's limits and I just write a special kind of songs, that's my way of doing it. On her new album you also can find her first duet. The song “Once”. She sang this song together with Freddie Wadling. I have never recorded a duet before so it was an interesting change. Freddie Wadling's voice is very sensitive and he can sing in a lot of different ways. To me, listening to him singing is really a pleasure so I do hope we make a good duet couple.

Sophie Zelmani does still write songs the wayImage only she can; the basic grounds have stayed the same. Only working on “ Sing and Dance' she said she has paid more attention to detail. Lars Halapi has also rearranged the Sophie Zelmani slightly - the rhythm section is more central and the silence, the pauses and breaks, have become important instruments for turning experience into musical expression. On the whole, this must be said, "Sing And Dance" is a most natural prolongation of her earlier work. This should be of no surprise; Sophie Zelmani follows a motto that has become as rare as it is sought for in the music world - she seeks consequence and consistency. Very few records keep this in mind to such a large an extent and with as much elegance as "Sing And Dance"

The 35-year old Sophie is seldom seen in TV shows or in other interviews. She prefers to let the magic of her music speak for itself. And maybe that's the way it's supposed to be.

Darling, hold on to my love
Hold on to my touch
A little bit more
For all affection
That I've grunged you
For all loads I let you carry

Ashamed to be someone
Who tool you for granted
Who took and demanded
The whole of you

So darling, gold on to my love
Hold on to my touch
A little bit more

'Cause I'd be broken
I'd be broken
I'd be broken, without you

All the visions
Would mean nothing
I need you touching
Getting to my soul

So darling, gold on to my love
Hold on to my touch
A little bit more

'Cause I'd be broken
I'd be broken
I'd be broken, without you

From now on, I'll always share my loving mind
I'll put my heart into your soul
I'll be tender, I'll be defined for you
I'll give it all, that belongs to you

Stand by

It's because to my faith
In how it should be
I never consider
And that's why I let you
Drive me, drive me crazy

It's not a question
Or trying ones fortune
What it's all about
Is to figth to make it live
To make it live and survive

So stand by, stand by
Stand by, stand by

And I won't be scared
Of the hard times that will come
We'll get to a level
When we get through
And then we just go on and on
So stand by, stand by
Stand by, stand by

There must be a reason

Decided to leave my
Past years to the gods
It wouldn't be fair
It wouldn't be right
To choose myself to be the judge

I learned to keep my mouth shut
And I tried to understand
That you must have a good heart
If you could win,
My mother's hands

I'm sorry mother
There must be another reason
I'm sorry mother
But now we are done

She was caught in the middle
Wanted to save her from wars
So I started to live for the day
I could move my life outdoors

The distance burried
My thoughts of revenge
It was a relief to think
Of you as a friend
Now it occurs to me
How we have changed
Since I've grown up
It suddenly stopped

I'm sorry mother
There must be a another reason
I'm sorry mother
But now we are done

So good

It will be better in the morning
They said the sun might shine
I'll have you close
You'll have the deeps of mine
It will be better, much better
Suppose it would rain
How I would smile
It would be pretty easy
Keep you lying for a while
It will be better, much better

It'll be so good

It fact we don't have to do anything
Whatever goes wrong
We've still got everything
It can't be better, can't be better

It's so good, it's so good
And better, and better...

Always you

If it wasn't the ocean
Wasn't the breezes
Wasn't the white sand
There might be no need

If I could sleep through the cool nights
If I could breathe and eat right
If I had worked all summer
Maybe I wouldn't feel so humble

Oh you, it's always you
It's always you

If red roses weren't so lovely
If wine didn't taste so good
If stars weren't so romantic
Then I could do what I should

Oh you, it's always you
It's always you

If your love I could command it
Get your head to understand it
I'd go twice around the world
Even though I wouldn't find it

A thousand times

I woke up so sad one morning
And there were reasons
For that bad morning
Something told me
You're not ready for this change

I got up stepped into the
Shower, and I thought
It will be gone
About an hour or so

But something told me
This feeling comes from
Deep inside
And suddenly ran teardrops
Just like the water
And I lost, I lost the fight
And it felt like someone
Had died away from me
And myself died a thousand times

Have I lost my sence and strength
Are my eyes just full of you
Why come the pictures
Reminding me of love
Suddenly ran teardrops
Just like the water
And I lost, I lost the fight
And it felt like someone
Had died away from me
And myself died a thousand times

Tell me you'r e joking

He couldn't belive
What his mama said
They put him in their car
And he got scared
She looked at him
In a such painful way
Oh please mama
Don't torture me this way

She held in close
And tears fell down
He thought of
The words she'd said
Your father is gone

Oh no, this can not be
My father would never leave me
So tell me you are joking, mama

She said he didn't suffer
Because he was drunk
But how could she know
She wasn't there when he sunk

Oh no, this can not be
My father would never leave me
So tell me you are joking, mama

He thought
He would accept it
As time passed by
But still there are moments
When he has to cry
He feels his father
Should have been there
Throught the years
But he'll always
Send him love
Through thoughts
And through years

Woman in me

Can you hear the rattling rain
Like a cradle song
To iver your pain
Can you feel the howling wind
It's gonna bring
Your thoughts to sin

There's something
About the night
Brings out the woman in me

When the room is dark
And you let it go
The watching shows
And talk throught the walls

When the sheets
Have got you warm
And you fall into the deep
Wish the dreams will give you
A night of good sleep

There's something
About the night
Brings out the woman in me

You and him

You were in the city
One night all alone
Waiting for a taxi
That could take you home
You saw a man walking
Down the street, towards you
And you could see he had no teeth
In his upper jaw
He had dirt in his hair
He had dirt everywhere
His clothes didn't fit,
And one eye was hit
He asked you if you had
A minute to talk
You said you didn't talk to strangers
And you started to walk

His eyes looked sad
And he asked you why
You acted like this
Was it because he looked so bad
I know I scare you
But I just wanted to say
That you're the most beautiful
I've seen today

You said
Thank you very much
But pleace now
Leave me alone
He said where are you going
You said
I'm going home
Oh pleace would you invite me
To your house sometime
You have just seen mine
It's here on tha ground

He took a bottle from his jacket
And he said cheers
And you felt it was gone
That feeling of fear
You said
What happened to you
How could you
End up like this
You must have had your choices
So tell me what this is

He said
You don't know a thing about me
All you know is only what you see
Even if i've lost the most
Of my brain
I still can see the sun and I can feel
When it rains

I tried to be friendly
I tried to be nice
But you turned me your back and
You were as chilly as ice
I didn't ask you for money
I asked you for words
It's not my life that bothers
It's the way you act that hurts

You said you were sorry
But how could you know
What someone like him
Suddenly could do
But then you talked
Until the taxi arrived
You said you had to go
You said goodnight

There's only one thing
I wanna tell you
Before you go
I know you wanna get home
I know you do
I just wanted to tell you
I just wanted to say
That i'll remember
With a smile this day

Until dawn

Wonder, I wonder about the fire
One fire I seem to be stuck with
It's glowing, and burning
And sparkling of flames
I wonder who set it free

And I don't know just what to do
It's like I could, get crazy
About you
My fire burns until dawn
My fire burns until dawn

I wonder about the sun
Over the brook
I wonder about th genious
And the fool
I wonder about reasons
And what it would take
To use their power
For their own sake

And I don't know just what to do
It's like I could get crazy
About you
My fire burns until dawn
My fire burns until dawn

I'l l remember you

It's daybreak, and you are asleep
I can hear you breathe now
Your breath is deep

But before I go
I look at you one last time
I can hear a heartbeat
Is it yours or is it mine

I look at your lips
I know how soft they can be
Did they know what they wanted
The times they kissed me

And your hands
I held in mine
Now they're reposing on the pillow
Will they ever miss me sometime?

I'll remember you
You will be there in my heart
I'll remember you
But that's all that I can do
But i'll remember

Your eyes
That always make me shiver
Now they are closed
They do sometimes twitch a little

And your body
I could own for an hour
It sent me to heaven
With it's heat and power

I'll remember you
You will be there in my heart
I'll remember you
But that's all that I can do
But i'll remember

I'l l see you

Days like this to me senses
I see to the old burried losts
Golden times are when I remember
How I used to talk to my heart
Seems to be easy now
Whenever I need to cry, I hide
It's too late to get back
Looking for overfrown tracks

I'll see you in another world
I'll see you in another world

In the soul of the streets
We walked on
The magic reads
From it's old histories
Among all the people
I've never seen before
It's the ghost of you
That I'm looking for

Seems to be all set up
Whenever I think of you
I give up
It's too late to get back
Looking for overgrown tracks

I'll see you in another world
I'll see you in another world

You still love her
You don't know me yet
So I'm leaving
Before you do

So don't whisper
Don't wonder
Don't miss her
Just go and find her

I make your choice
I make your wisdom
I make you fall
From your resistance

I will think
That I'm just too late
I will think hard
That it has nothing to do with me

So I'm leaving
While I'm stronger
I'm leaving
Cause our love is younger

I make your choice
I make your wisdom
I make you fall
From your resistance

I make your choice
I make your wisdom
I make you fall
From your resistance

Black day

Was it easy, was it hard?
We will always wonder about that part
Were you crazy, were you brave
That's what we all wonder about today

We will live through this black day
And we will pray by us young grave
We will live through this black day
We will stand by your black grave

Were you obsessed or just low
Now we talk about how come it never showed
What did you seek but couldn't find
When did we all, slip your mind

We will live through this black day
And we will pray by us young grave
We will live through this black day
We will stand by your black grave

Was it easy, was it hard
We always wonder about that part
Were you crazy, were you brave

Precious burden

The life we shared together
Is no life anymore
It's time to praise the memories
And put them
Whereever the can grow

So you live in the stars now
You live in the meads
I'll spread you with my heart
Over the fertile fields

The love we gave each other
Was the love that we would make
Those years became our lifetime
A lifetime faith would break

Now you're living in the oceans
In the trees and in the air
It's a precious burden
The cross we've come to bear

This burden is a precious burden
As precious as you
Brought into my world
The world that's after you

So long

I've had my eyes
I've had my ears
To steal from you
For so long
For a sake to fill
A hole that kills
You've made me thrill

I've been wandering
So long
So long, so long

Now I burn
And when i yearn
Everywhile without you
Is too long
Now i'm free
You made me see
It had to be so long

Because I'm gonna love you
So long
So long, so long

Excuse me

Why despair in your eyes
When I try to see you
Don't you know it's beyond me
Just to have you here
Some people would say
You're only dreaming
So how come I feel you
Just about everywhere

So excuse me if I
Say that I could die
For this world
You're showing me now

Why the doubt in your voice
When I try to tell you
Can't you see me standing
Right beside you
Some peole would say
It could have been magic
Well, I won't forget the magic
Like I won't forget that day

Got to stop

I've got to stop, got to stop the trembling
It's beginning to drag me down
I've got to change, my wishes
I've got to stop wanting
Wanting you here

I've got to do something about the dreaming
It leaves the day the loss of been touched
I've got to discover some other meaning
And i've got to stop
Wanting you so much

I've got to stop, got to stop the exploding
It's taking too much sense off me
I've got to change my thinking
Because it blinds me and blinds the right way to see

I've got to stop, saving
The abundance becomes a shame without you
I've got to give up, the believing
I've got to stop hoping
But that's so hard to do

And i've got to stop, i've got to stop worrying
About why loneliness follows me
I've got to stop, damning
Damning time
For it's aging me

Before the day's gone

It's so hard to tend
The heart of this man
And not before the day's gone
I'm sure i'll hold him again
I think I'm losing the grip
Or I could let it slip

I guess until the day's gone
I seem to work on hat rift
But I can't, don't you see
I Just can't

You want me to speak
And so my dumbness gets me weak
It hurts when the day's gone
That I'm tired of your needs
And I couldn't , I just couldn't
It's so hard to give

I should make you live
But after the day's gone
You want me to forgive
It's so hard to lose

The dream came so close
And now when the day's gone
Everyone knows
I can't
I just can't

Goodbye

I told you once
I did
Of there you taught me how

It was never in my believes
I'd ever learn to say goodbye

How do you say goodbye
How do you get free
I tried to say goodbye
But you're still here with me

If you say you never were here
That you never been seen
I wonder where we'd stand
If you would have stayed in my dreams

You should have stayed in my dreams
You should have made it stop
Cause you were just a dream
Since I have given up

How do you say goodbye
How do you get free
I tried to say goodbye
But you're still here with me

How do you say goodbye
How do you get free
I tried to say goodbye
But you're still here with me

Foolish

So, so say I'm foolish
Say, it's all in my mind
Don't give me right on this feeling
I did what I always do
Bad things go'way by believing

So, I was too foolish
So, I let myself down
Still this is the ground
So, I was right on this feeling
But i'll do what i've always done
Bad things are eased by believing
It was just my time to come

Curtain fall

No more time, spared for waiting
No thoughtfulness to blame it on
I'm giving up on you
You're giving up on me
That's why our meeting doesn't come

I don't recognize my skin when it's callous
Or this emptiness that's replaced my heart
Don't need you anymore
You don't need me at all
So what are we living for

What is left, what is left
What is left when love is gone

Do I have to start to dream about a stranger
I'm sure he's not anywhere
It is not like me
To lose without to bleed
No I don't enjoy to feel free

This curtain fall
Is the last one you'll see

It suddenly is so quiet
No voices I hear that bewail
There is nothing more
To see or hope for
It is time for the final curtain fall
This curtain fall is the last one
After all

Who I am

I'm just as good as
You want me to be
I'm only so sweet
As you choose to see
I'm reaching the level
You're setting up
I'm only heading
Until you say stop

I'm touching you
Where you let me to
I have all those things
You say I do
Who I am
You tell me
Who I am
You tell me

I only ravage where
You give me the place
I'm only seen until
You shade my face
I'm just as good
As you want me to be
Who I am
You tell me

My

My mind is just where you are, you are, you are
And I'm tired of going that far
My heart beats so fast, so fast, so fast
Please slow it down so it will last
My dreams always always always confuse
They are to no use
I'm going, going, going nowhere not until you're here
My life is giving, giving, giving back to me all reasons to be
My love is so hard, so hard, so hard to feel and it won't ever leave

I can tell
By your look
There's something missing
Something I took

I can tell
By the way you sound
Won't be long
You won't be around

Oh I'm losing you
Oh I'm losing you

Was it my words
Or my silence
I know it hurts
My kind of violence

Won't you tell
How I hurt you
Won't be long
You won't be around

Oh I'm losing you
Oh I'm losing you

She was my best friend
She was my best friend
We won't reach up again
We broke all our plans

You've got a face, a soul, a name
but if you stay we both will go insane
Nostalgia

We can't talk about old days everytime our children'll play
What kind of memories becomes of such a melancholy day

You've got a face, a soul, a name
but if you stay we both will go insane
Nostalgia, you're just good for one day

I tried to leave you many times I almost succeeded once
Dreams are coming one by one to ask me what I've done
Now I hear it in the wind when old news are coming in
She did so well without me but I wonder if she's free

You've got a face, a soul, a name
but if you stay we both will go insane
You've got a face, a soul, a name
but if you stay we both will go insane
Nostalgia, you're just good for one day
Nostalgia, you're just good for one day

For your own good
For your demons
For your husband
For your son
For love, for love

A life on prayers
You will be coming back to us
For better days
Better days

If you are just
Nights and days
If you're just hears a way
If your time really stand still
We just have time to kill
Time to kill

Against our will
Against all respect for faith
Against all sense
Against love, against love

We are locked out
From your secret place
For love, for love

But if you are just
Nights and days
If you're just hears a way
If your time really stand still
We just have time to kill
Time to kill

If you are just
Nights and days
If you're just hears a way
If your time really stand still
We just have time to kill
Time to kill

Why

I don't think about it anymore so why do you
I don't remember much but I'm sure that we were through
I'm looking for your eyes to search for what they might disguise so why do you
I've got no problem so why do you
You're blowing on the ashes that's what I think you do
It's been a secret that never got that deep inside so it hurt the spot at any time
That deep inside, to hurt the spot, at any time
After all this time why would I turn around for you
The truth has faded into a lie
Among all things that I could do I obviously still bother you why do I
I'm just wishing you could forgive
It is what we do, to make life easier to live

Happier man

It has never been this quiet
And we have never seen a storm
Though you really made things quiet
I think I will stay calm

'Cause I can't move the slightest finger
Let alone raise my hand
I'm sure we lived like lovers
But you dreamt of becoming a happier man

And I can't tell what I had chosen
If no choices of this kind can be made
I was happy for a long time
But that's not what I feel today

It has never been this dreamlike
And we have never seen a ghost
Though you are bringing me a nightmare
It's not what frightens me the most

You make me go through my visions
And what it was that we achieved
You make me ransack love for it's goodness
And if love ever leads to harmony
If love ever leads to harmony

Seasons, my friend
Colour me
So we can blend
Forbid me to go

I know so little
About the wind
When it blows

Dreamer, dreamer
I'm walking out of your dream

Take me off that parade
And place me somewhere
In yours sense of a shades
Your night shuts my door
And I will not dream anymore

See if I can pass by that waiting hand
If I can pass by that wandering man
If I can leave to get on
See that it all makes sense pretty soon

Dreamer, dreamer
I'm walking out, while you go on

Dreamer, dreamer

Dreamer, dreamer
I be where I belong

Dreamer, dreamer

On Your Way

You never ask things you wonder
You just wait until you wonder no more
You're giving up so gently to get what your dreams are keeping you awake for
Who hears your heart talking only ears that can do you no harm
You only hear it if they listen
You've changed your love you've changed your life you've changed your ways and that has taken you far taken you far
Your eyes are constantly broken but your hands overwhelm a thousandfold
So when are the things you're touching gonna be someone you can hold
No need for love and you need no one
You let them come so you can make them go
It must be something you believe in somewhere your way is leading to is leading to

I Don't Know

Are you scared, are you worried to for how far you and I will go
Have you noticed we're part of this town where there are divorces and break ups all around
I don't know if it feels good to say, we did the best we could
There's so many people, everywhere that we are letting interfere
And if someone's good enough it could be the end for us
I don't know if it's enough to hope it's only up to us

Gone So Long

You've been gone so long that I don't know how to welcome you, when you get here
You've been gone so long I must spend some time to get prepared
You've been gone so long so the things I'd tell you don't seem to matter
You've been gone so long it's been quite a while since things around me started to get better
I've been alone so I've got used to the nights, and the mornings and my new habits
It's changed the tones so the rhythm slowly took our dance into the shadows
It's coming days when I don't know if we can continue or must start over
Your stay away made me waiting like a woman for her missing soldier
You've been gone so long and I've let someone step into the picture
While you were gone I met someone and he makes our picture blurred

You don't know of the strings you're pulling
They've been hanging loose on me
I go crazy when I feel them moving cause' it reminds me I don't let you be free
I'll go through a fire for this
I'll go all the way and hope there's a loophole we've missed
My name can't live up to this matter So don't say it if you don't want what it will bring
And if you are scared of this dirty weather I think you should rush off for your thing
I'll be in the fire for you
My senses don't work so well when I'm hurt but I've said I love you
I'll be in the fire for you
I'll wait in the fire and I will hope I'm still there when you're through

Don't you ever go out
When was the last time you were out
Have you ever been out
Oh dear

Is something wrong with the air
Since you can't breathe in here
How long have you held your breath
Oh dear

What is closing you in
Must be a giant dream
It's not your life we have seen
Oh dear

Don't let your choices be
Hopes you still can't feel
All was given for free
My dear

How's your heart doing

People talk about you
I've got memories
There is something about you
I know what it is

How is your heart doing
Oh, they make me think of you
Nowadays, that feels good
Moments are coming back to me
But closer than they should

How is your heart doing
Where i'm not welcome no more
How is your heart doing
Just wondering, that's all

I was so young when i feel for you
It must have shaped my heart
But the youth is for the history
And life does need new starts

How is your heart doing
The one i was dying for
How is your heart doing
I'm wondering, that's all

Going home

Not very often have we met
But the music's been too bad
Can only sense happiness
If the music is sad

So, i'm going home
I must hurry home
Where a life goes on

We're too old to make a mess
Dreams will keep me young
Old enough to stress
Only mirrors tell the time

So, i'm going home
I must hurry home
So will my life go on

Yes, i'm going home
Going home alone
And your life goes on

People

I can wake up to a bad day
I know how to go from there
But you
I can't handle

It's not that you're not welcome
You're amazing in my eyes
It's me that change too much
Around you

You are one of those people

I can think of a million reasons
And times when i should
Shut my mouth
But i feel like a fool
Around you

You are one of those people
That just ain't good for everyone
I have nothing against you people
But i don't like what i become

We will never know each other
It's not much to cry about
But when i get so strange around you
Might be something to work out

Once

Hey you
Can i breathe
If my chest is covered

Hey you
Is my face making sense
Eyes can't be still
In a moment so tense

Here babe
Are the notes you must play
This babe, is the procedure

Here babe
Not in another way
I can assure you
That you will be okay

Once would do
Once could change everything
Once could tell
And help me to clear out
Some things

Once would make
No difference at all
Once or not
I've already made this fall

Hey you
Make the most of the time
You've got to cross many borders

If you can't control your mind
Something will happen
It's just a question of time

Oh babe
I can't concentrate
I'm here for the wrong reason

It's you who makes my knees shake
One season, then
The brakes are gonna break

Breeze

My heart is leaving you
It says goodbye
Disappearing from you tonight
Not a breeze is gonna
Pass you by

There are sailingboats
There are ships
Broken rafts adrift
I'm jumping on whatever's passing by

I've blown the candle out
That you forgot
I've made sure that
The door is shut
I don't think you're ever
Coming back

My heart is leaving you
It says goodbye
Disappearing from you tonight
Not a breeze is gonna
Pass you by

Sing and dance

It's hard to know the secret
It shocked the hell out of me
I hope i'm not looking jealous
Of your way of staying free
But how, and why
What was it you were telling me

You're washing up your scruples
Then your hanging them to dry
I can seen your good intentions
Even if your lie
Your fingerprints ‘re all over
But no one knows they ‘re there
I'm only getting to know you
But you're not playing fair

I thought the thing you're doing
Is the last thing that you'd do
It's only in my nightmares
It goes as far as you
But it's always a pleasure
To sing and dance with you

You're taking a lot of many
And you taste it on your own
Wonder what is gonna matter
When most of it has gone
I wanna hear all about it
Since you're sitting next to me
But tell me you're unusual
That it won't be the thing for me

Yes I am

I am tired, yes I am
I'm a coward, yes I am
Now I understand
How long i've been a canting woman
You say, that something's wrong
Today, and many more will come
Though I really longed
I want you to leave me alone

I had to ask my friends
Our excuses never ends
I'm just a lazy, bored adult
To seldom there are good results

I think about this all the time
I can admit how bad it rimes
I want you, yes I do

Moonlight

I'm sure it is bright
But you left so early that morning

It's known for it's light
It's not very far
Come back to me
For the moonlight

It's so dangerous here
Love takes my time
Love makes me worry

But it ain't so far
To where you are
We still can meet

In the moonlight
In the moonlight

Gone with the madness

I'm gonna bring a bottle of wine
Won't change the truth
Just to fit our time
Disappointed, it was a man
Hidden in the woods
Of my dreamland
I wanted you to desire me

I could have
Gone with the madness
Gone with the madness

I don't regret you
Or that i met you
But i was too honest where games
Must take their place
It's such a crime
But i was swept off my feet for
The first time

For the first time
I don't need my pride
To you it was crazy
But i'm still excited inside
But i wanted you
To desire me

I could have
Gone with the madness
Gone with the madness

Everything's
Gone with the madness
Gone with the madness

How it feels

We are getting there darling
This is you and me
Have you thought about it darling
Have you thought about how it feels

I think we've got some answers
Just looking at you now
This is not what happens
When a love is about to die

The rumour you're hearing
Is coming straight from me
It's a rumour to rely on
This is how it feels

We're in the middle of it darling
It just occurred to me
I haven't thought about it darling
How it really feels

The rumour you're hearing
Is coming straight from me
It's a rumour to rely on
This is how it feels

There ain't so many people
That really could make you cry
And there ain't
Too many things
That really reach you inside
When it happens
It feels like we all wanna die
The best time
For answers might be
When we cry

Aren't we really really living
When we cry
Aren't we really really feeling
When we cry

People might say
They don't pray
But still they hope
We hope though
We don't believe
Or when we don't cope

Then we die with the hope

Maja's song

Couldn't lend him
To you forever
Said the hard man
From above

Made you to
A giver and a savor
But also to a loser of love

Made your heart
Big enough to carry
Every kind of pain

Made you to a dream
For marriage
But also to someone
I must drain

Gave your eyes
The colour of an ocean
Where anybody could drown

I'd swear an oath
On your sterling friendship
But I will always
Let you down

In storms and rain
It's hard to light the candle
And I'm sorry when
It's snowing on his stone
The gravel-walk's so familiar
With your footsteps
That's a sound that could
Make me leave the throne

Couldn't lend
Him to you forever
Said the hard man
From above

To know you

To know you
Means a lot of things
Lot of love, lot of dreams

You are a world
I can't explore
You're a scene
Got a feeling about
What that's gonna mean

To be around you
Means I can't be there
Got to take my mind
Out of there

To explain you
Means my heart in show
You are the reminder
Of the nothingness
I'm open to

Memories

As you know
We are here for changes
You must be caught to see
It's the heart that imprisons
But if you're caught
You're not free

So what's wrong
With looking through bars
When you're devoted
To your crime
What's wrong
With being a captive
Except for that a change
Will always come

Memories, memories
Don't change to blue
Memory, I can't live on you

As you know
Things just happens
Sometimes it's just the same
As when beautiful things
And matters
Got as beautiful names

So what's wrong
With pleading desire
And to relate it to you
What's wrong
With being bewitched
Except for that a change
Will always come

Truth

I don't wanna
Find out the truth
I don't wanna
Find out the truth
But only truth satisfy

I want it so much to go away
I want it so much to go away
But with the truth it will stay

You will fall heavy
Upon my chest
But laughing will give
The time to rest
I still can breathe
When you're asleep
Just let me gasp for peace

I'd like to have
Other things on my mind
I'd like to have
Other things on my mind
I can't choose a line

I wanna wake up
And find you
I wanna wake up
And find you
If it's true I won't continue to

I don't know
How to get armed
I don't know
How to get armed
Truth is hard to charm

Keep it to yourself

You keep it to yourself
You keep it to yourself
It's your treasure
But you're not thinking
Of my health

Like this morning
Were you dreaming
Was it a night in hell
It's your burden
But I'm not feeling well

You're gone with your feelings
Are you taking care
If you're good
At what you're doing
It's good that I'm here

You just disappear
You just disappear
It's your talent
But I only get scared

Grand as loving

Maybe hurting
Is as grand as loving
So grand you can't
Escape nowhere

As it's giving
Wounds are taking
Hard though to tell
What that'd might be
I can just close my eyes
And let you stand outside

Maybe favours
Can be disquised and
Disasters what lighten up
A better way

So maybe hurting
Is as grand as loving
Maybe hurting
Is as grand as loving

Dream gets clear

I'm a stranger on this way
Yet I come here once a year
And it starts to get romantic
'Cause no one's ever there
And with the thought
That I could find him there
Makes it to a place
For dreaming
And the dream gets clear

Maybe it was the sunset
That said it'd come up
As a metaphore if you
Woke me for your breezes
I've underrated you before
And with the feeling
That I'd meet him there
Makes it to a place
For dreaming
And the dream gets clear

The ground's too hard
To suit you, still I wanted
To lay down
Time went so differently
I was under the sun
And with the vision
Of seeing him there
Makes it to a place
For dreaming
And the dream gets clear

I left at noon
With new notes in my ears
Whatever you were playing
I know that it was rare
And with the sound
Of hearing him there
Made it to a place
For dreaming
And the dream was clear

Fade

Fade you star
Fade from my heaven
Fade for the promise
Of forgetting
If I stared and you'd
Be shining through
I would probably still see you

Farewell my guest
You were the only one
Who saw the door
Might be open
If I only could have
Told you then
That the lock just was broken

There was no place
There was no time
There was no place
There was no time

Hard to know

I ain't here for fun
Can't be moved around
Maybe that means I can't
Give you a good time

I could spend my time
Looking at you
But as long as you're striving
I've got to do that too

Hard for you to know
I'm dripping of love
Hard to defend
I'm only dreaming of love

I'm not here to make
My voice heard
Maybe that makes me smaller
In this world

I could spend my time
Wishing I was like you
But if you think my life
Looks alright, i'll think so too

Your way

The things we have
In common are
Feelings we repress
I find you in the darkness
Where lightness means less

Times when we're
In need of touching
Are when tears
Could get there before
We are walking with pain
When we've seen
People we adore

The things we're
Calling secrets
Are usually the way in
We go to sleep
With the knowledge
That each mind has sins

Times when we are lifted
The fall feels so high
We cry over beauty
It hurts to smile

My way is your way
Your way is mine
My way is your way
Your way is mine

Stay with my heart

Fell in love with my lover
In the morning
Or maybe I fell
Long before you
Now I wonder
What lovers are missing
And how the name seems to
Mean passing through

It's a sad but maybe
A self-caused trouble
Perhaps i've been sad
Longer than you
I might have been
Fooling my lover
You have always been
So much more to me

I ain't got the heart babe
I ain't got the heart
Go with the morning
I'll stay with my heart

You know I was sent
For that morning
Or maybe it was the night
That threw me out

I ain't got the heart babe
I ain't got the heart
Go with the morning
I'll stay with my heart

Lost in love

There's a drawback in
Living for the moment
In loving life too much
Everytime you're lost in love
You wonder when
The love will stop
I'm lost in love

There's a price to pay
If you want to enjoy
The present time
To be that thankful
Demands that you're
Always carrying
Death in mind
Death is around

There's a point to
Put off some things
And save them
For a rainy day
Only those about to die
Are acting in a perfect way
Who wants to die

There's an answer
To why you can
So rarely take in
What you see
The pleasure is followed
By a fear you want
To avoid to feel
I'm so lost in love

There's a freedom
In making plans
To think about a future
And there's a comfort
In being sure
That it'll be long
Before the end
I'm not making plans

There's a reason
To why so many
Only get one little chance
If the song
Was sung forever
No one would
Ever stop to dance

Wait For Cry

If I am your stolen mind
It could get back to you
Don't you think that's right

I don't know how hard you held me
There must be a chance you haven't
Fully let go on me

If I am your sickness now
I wouldn't be of a kind
That would let you die

You haven't really told me yet
So it still must be fifty and fifty
on what I'll get

If I am your question now
Could as well be a riddle
That only takes some time

Still the days are just passing by
Wait for rain, wait for cry

If I am your wood in where you're lost
The trees could crease
For fields that's opening up

Still the day is letting me deny
I wait for rain, I wait for cry

Memory Loves You

So tender are my thoughts of you
Still warm after the glow
The stones are too soft to throw

Memory loves you

The sadness has got new tears
Now they're falling gently on the grown
So invisible and clear

Memory loves you
Memory loves you

The escape has lost its ways
It ended deep in my own cave (Nothing left to do)
So what belongs will stay (Memories of you)

Memory loves you
Memory loves you
Memory loves you
Memory loves you

Broken Sunny Day

Old gone days
Got as new today
Like I wouldn't have known

I count the years
Now to seconds
Like I wouldn't have known

What I dropped on my track
I can now feel on my back
Like I wouldn't have known

Old cured ways
Fell into happy today
Like I wouldn't have known

This is a sunny broken day
This is a broken sunny day

I found the place where they'd rest
But some memories won't settle
With the past
Like I wouldn't have known

What was once my excuse
Must be the same again I'll use
Like I still wouldn't know

This is a sunny broken day
This is a broken sunny day
This is a sunny broken day
This is a broken sunny day

I Got Yours

Over a night
I got yours and no others
Now we will make a life
Of thouse hours
I got yours
On a misty height

So by the morning
I knew all about treasures
Where it was going
Nothing but measures
I got yours
In front of the fading sun

During the day we would talk about
Moving
You said I was late
But that you knew I was coming
I got yours
In the enlightened night

And later this evening
I was so full of you
Now I only have things
I must not ever lose
I'm yours
So let every morning come

Just after midnight
You said now I can't go
Back where you can't follow
I must stay with you
I'll be yours
Forever will be the shortest time

Over a night
I got yours and I love you
So light and so easy
I love you I love you
I'm yours
I am yours

Sorrow

It comes from somewhere
To someone it belongs
It's needing its hearts
It's choosing among

It's got no name
The one
With the most pain

How many days
How many nights
What will we do
To treat them right

It's strange how time
Plays God sometimes

Sorrow calls
Sorrow takes
Sorrow must be
God's mistake

I'm losing a morning
Every time you're not there
I'm losing my life
Now I don't care

You were mine
And now stops time

How Different

Sit down by my table
I'll let you sit lonely
If you've got a question
You are free to ask

If I had met you
When you still were growing
And not after all stories
And when you already
Have lived your life

I would have known
About your ferrows
And maybe about your loving
I could have seen in your eyes
If we had lost it yet

How different
it would have been
To have something to say
How good I would feel
To be with you today

Sit down by the table
Drink the wine
That's been aging
Lose your head into something
I'll be quiet
Like an old friend

How different
it would have been
To have something to say
How good I would feel
To be with you today

Love On My Mind

Oh, my lord
Why have you done my kisses blind

Why do you end what has just begun
Why don't you give me time
When you know I've got love on my mind

And why have you
Made me chary for all
That used to make me fall

Why do I feel so terrified
And mostly like a blight
Like I ask for tons of love

Oh, my trust
Why don't you help no more
I used to be so sure

That if the right one
Would meet my eyes
He would be hypnotized
And love me all along
Through this life

Oh, my lord
Let's say no more
I just can't endure

So many years has just become
A long long time
When you knew I had love on my mind

Travelling

Baby, don't you worry so
This ain't the time to suffer
And baby, I'm in a hurry to...
We're just in a hurry
To be happy

We are doing fine
Since when did we let anything
Change it
And when you're lonely
With the time
You'll get something
And you might deserve it

You ain't travelling in the summer
Like you travel in the night
Your meeting with the morning
Is not like leaving the sunset light
You ain't travelling in the summer
Like you travel in the night
Your meeting with the morning
Is not like leaving the sunset light

Baby, there's nothing wrong
You'll find out who's the feeling
Confuses to be whole
But not strong
About those things
You'll be dreaming

You ain't travelling in the summer
Like you travel in the night
Your meeting with the morning
Is not like leaving the sunset light
You ain't travelling in the summer
Like you travel in the night
Your meeting with the morning
Is not like leaving the sunset light

Travelling...
Travelling...

Now You Know

I know that you will listen
So I have my chance to say
You're waiting
For me somewhere
Though you hide
From me those days

I know that you will listen
To hear if I am still with you
Well
Now you know

Something makes you wonder
What I'm doing here
I wonder the same
Why are you
So far from here

There are different ways of living
Living with you
Maybe this way will do

It's quite strange
For me to talk
To speak to you this way
I can't see your face
When I give my love away

You can only hear
I am still with you

And I might believe that will do
I might believe that will do

Shades

What was that
Did you wanna steel a kiss
Where were you
When you brought me in to this

In a shade
There's a loss of light
But that's what we got
And I know it can hurt
To do things right

Shade

You got
You got me so frail
And frail I'll leave

Our face
To a stronger day
My recall
To many things
It will always hurt
But that's a common thing

In the shades
In the shades

Does it matter
What I can understand
It will always be you
Who let go of that hand

I am sad
Over things you say
Your words
Will always hurt me
On our way

Shades
Shades

Worries
For where you belong
Gets me in trouble
When you've got your hallow on

Let those nights
Be only yours
Remember hurt
Remember sore

In the shades
In the shades

The ocean and me

It's the ocean and me
We're the ones to be
I always fall asleep
Beside the sea

And we've got a certain way
How it wakes me every day
I never know though
With what kind of wave

And you know about oceans
How brutally it can rush
Drown you, or calmly caress you
With a gentle touch

Sometimes I bring my boat
And I believe it'll let me float
It's just that I'm so often
Returning soaked

The ocean has you
Has the waves of you
And I have never felt a sea
So blue

Composing

Hey my friend, do you mind
If I use you now just a little
Hey my friend, do you mind
If I put you here for a while in the middle

With a little help from your eyes
I might forget I'm anothers
If you let me drown in your eyes
I might survive I'm so lost in the others

And you my friend would you mind
To be here when I wake up
Could it might make me win some time
Or even make his time stop

Cause if I'm only composing
I need to compose him
Hurrying out of my life
I'm only composing, only composing

So if it's alright my friend
I'd like to lean a little bit on you now
If you just let me pretend
I'll owe you if this plan works out

And with your beauty so close tonight
Might spread some sense of comfort
You could be helping me out
By giving me something for the cold

Cause if I'm only composing
I need to compose him
Hurrying out of my life
I'm only composing, only composing

So my friend do you mind
To be a kind of a joker
I'd play him off my hand
Could leave this clean and sober

Spring love

Love you meet in the springtime
Is rarely love you can keep
Fall in the winter
For the sheet of snow got a deep

Spring love that lasts through summer
Surely will be standing like a fool
So fall in the winter
When the heart ain't so easy sold

Summer love you're still feeling
Will hurt every time a leaf falls
So fall in the winter
For the longest season of them all

Time

Time to close up the chest now baby
It's time I know
To make up the room now baby
It's time I know

Got to move it a little further
Back from the welcome hall
I've got to surround it, baby
With thick thick walls

But listen through the keyhole
How your neighbor sings
For the sorrow light
That you bring

But you danced with me darling
Danced with me darling

Time to forgo it baby
It's time I know
Some kinds can just be stored, honey
For the better go

But you danced with me darling
Danced with me darling
Danced with me darling
Danced with me darling

Passing through

I know how the wind blows
So straight in your ear
Soon I've turned it, so you won't hear

Passing by, passing through
It will be over
As soon as I've passed by you

I know how the blade
So frequently scratches your skin
Soon I've worn it out
So it won't go deeper in

Passing by, passing through
I'm on my way of passing you

I know how you rush
For every corner you see
Soon I'll be gone
And your ways will be free

(Passing by) passing by
(Passing through) passing through
A little help I'd need to pass by you

So what I'm doing
Is to call on my heart
For some reason
The leaving is hard

Passing by, passing through
The truth is I don't know
How to pass by you

Wind took my sail

I don't understand why I'm leaving you
I don't understand what I'm doing
Must follow what has gone from you
Over sea it is moving

I don't know what's gonna meet me there
I don't know where I'm going
All I find is that my heart's not here
If I stay, you'll be lonely

The sail got wind in it and
I need to see where it goes
Yes the wind took my sail, and I
Need to go where it blows

I don't understand how I can be leaving you
I could not see that happen
Yesterday my world was to love you
But now something
Took my heart on the shipping

The sail got wind in it and
I need to see where it goes
Yes the wind took my sail, and I
Need to go where it blows
The sail got wind in it and
I need to see where it goes
Yes the wind took my sail, and I
Need to go where it blows

Yeah, Okey

Darkness, if I'm gonna spend
All my time with you
You've got to be my friend
If I wanna be all alone with you
I've got to feel your hand

And whenever we see light outside
We've got to let it in
And we must spare
A room for love, you know
If it'd ever find its way in

Yeah? Okey
Yeah? Okey

And tell me then what I can do for you
Since I'll be yours most of the time
I won't be in the way you know
I've got things on my mind

Yeah? Okey
Yeah? Okey

I'll take the walks with you
I'll have the talks with you
Just save me from my crazy mind

Yeah? Okey
Yeah? Okey

And darkness, I want you to tell me
You can never be hurt
I go to be somewhere, you know
With no one to desert

Yeah? Okey
Yeah? Okey

Yeah? Okey
Yeah? Okey

Love

A letter to burn
A letter to send
And to return

Secrets arise
Secrets live for a while
Maybe long to die

Love doesn't know
When to stay away
Love doesn't choose among
Nights and days
Love simply stands in the way

A travel to make
A travel to break
And to go back

Histories are made
Remembered and saved
But they will fade

Love doesn't know
When not to appear
Love doesn't excuse itself anywhere
Love is just suddenly here

Love doesn't know
When it's not allowed
Love doesn't understand
To ever be shut out

Love doesn't know
Of what manners would say
Love just gets sick if it's sent away
Love just gets in the way

I've got a suspicion

Sometimes I suspect
They've got commission
I've got a suspicion
Of what they're trying to do

Sometimes I believe
They're trying to fool me
To get something slip through me
Like I had a way to go

Sometimes I feel
That they wonder
When they're talking
Of what they think of you

Sometimes I hear
Without they are asking
They want to know if I fell in love
With you

If I only could tell them
It doesn't matter
Many dreams are shattered
Mine long ago

If I only could say
There is no reason
For them to ever put your name
So close to mine

If I could explain
Some things about age and prisons
And how I never could be
A woman of your time

Sometimes I discover them
Poking in my closet
They search my deposits
Or trying something on

Sometimes I get afraid
They will find it
Awake and remind it
Where it's coming from

Sometimes I wish
I could warn them
How close to me
They should dare to go

And I believe they don't see
How they circle
Around something
That only I will know

This room

In this room
There's a man with a heart
That I can understand

He believes in God and that he
Will be back again

In this room there is love
You can always come here
To feel it again
But if someone leaves
You desperately
Wish them back again

In this room there's a girl
Here is she happy with her pain
She believes in something else
But at least
She will fall again

Just a little bit away from home
Is this room

In this room there's a soul
That is pouring you your wine
And it plays to you the music
That will make you stick around

In this room there's peace
I see angels all around
I believe it in so much
I am the last one
To be around

Just a little bit away from home
Is this room
Just a little bit away from home

July waits

July waits for a sunshine
Having us on its mind
While I'm crying
It holds its summertime

It will be there to watch us
To see if anything has changed
We'll meet up from fated mornings
And July's eyes will be so strained

I'm just a little worried
It won't go so well
I'm just a little worried
For what time will tell

Maybe I am crying
For July is all I know
And if nothing has changed by then
I always will be crying over you

What if I always
Will be crying over you

I will be there

Is there a land
Maybe close to you

Where I can stay
And maybe wait for you

A stony shore
Is what I have in mind
With a path
Leading to a home close behind

I know I will be there
What about you

When you've caught a dream
All you wanna say
And make an easy promise
It will always be this way

But if you come
Maybe I won't show how glad I am
But I would feel that promise
You shouldn't give any man

I know I will be there
What about you
I know I will be there
I don't know about you

Is there a land
I won't have to leave so fast
Is there a shore
That could catch me at last

I know I will be there
Probably you won't no
I know I will be there
But you, no you won't

I know I will be there
I don't know about you
I know I will be there
What about you
What about you
What about you
What about you

If I could
Give anything I would
If my thoughts could do you good

If I could help you with
This part of life you've got to live
You could load your weight on me

If I meant to you
What you mean to me
Your fight would also be
The greatest thing
You could do for me

If I knew
When your pain be shining through
I could be watching over you

If I'd been close
I could reach the things to use
And know just what to do

One thing I will do
To never let you go
Never let you go
Never let you go

The years

The years betray me now
They usually count
Supposed to be getting by
Move along with time
Why not this time

At least, they should make me feel
How long it's been
Help me to understand
What wasn't real
And teach what all means
Why do not these years count

He was such a stranger then
By now he should be again
It's too crazy to tell that man
I was in love, I still am
No, I can't say I still love that man

The years should make a change
Make someone out of me
They should be here
To give a second chance
Show how to change the wheels
They should bring something real
They should bring something real

You can always long for may

Don't go after him
Don't go after him
Don't go after him
Don't go

On our walk today
You were about to lift and stir against
Where he's been blowing to

Don't get fooled by him
It isn't him, it's just may
You feel on your skin

It's making love to you
As it didn't know
How love can make
One's sorrow grow

Take me home again
I will lock you in
Until you've rested on the couch

I loved it yesterday
You took me out of play
But for every laugh
I hear a cry and a prayer

So when day is done
You must be okay

Please don't go
He doesn't want you to
He doesn't want you
To go his way

You can't ask for him
He won't let you in
You can always long for may

I'll bring your lovers here
Steal them from everywhere
All lovers you might need

One to make you sleep
One to make you live
And one to make you breathe

Please don't go
Don't be thinking of
You will find him on the way

He is gone, he'll never come
But you
Can always long for may

Ready

My new love is you see
Tied to the dock and waits for me
Older than it appears to be
Saving one last trip for me

Roughly treated with a broken pole
For love only it's been sold
Saw the leak under the surface and
Said hold on we will sail again

I'm ready to head off with you
I'm ready to head off with you

My love just had enough
Only one owner from giving up
But a shipwreck can't in love be done
In summer air and under a dying sun

I'm ready to head off with you
I'm ready to head off with you
I'm ready to head off with you
I'm ready to head off with you

Who knows how long our love will last
I come from a dream and it from the past
Who knows what it will do to me
When ropes are loosed and waters free

Interior Design

There's not gonna be no stairs, no
Just a ladder to the loft where
There's a single bed
No carpet on the floor
Maybe a little window
Always will stand open
I'm thinking maybe
A blue-colored door

Down to the kitchen
A homemade shelf and table
Shelvy wooden wall, ??
A guest home for the cook here
Lamps for the perfume
???
Fireplace that works

A new sofa, blankets and pillows
Curtain of old canvas
Candles all around

Maybe a shower in the bathroom
??
So someone goes

Telephone is ringing, can it be
There's a little garden
Some herbs and a few tomatoes
?? with the shadow
And a chair in the sun
Hear the music playing
A dog running around
There are children

Not with you

Kissed by the rain not by you
Warmed by the spring not by you
Held in a ring dance not by you
Touched by a ghost not by you

Hours on the shore not with you
Filled by the wind not by you
Long for the evening not for you
All those feelings not for you

I'm here, I'm here, I'm flying
I might only miss one thing
I have stopped to talk about it
But it could be dream

Taking a picture not of you
Remembering times not with you
Love has nothing more to do
I'm here not with you

I'm the rain

Open your eyes now
What do you see
Isn't the view different
It is to me

The view of lovers
Sometimes change
Some put the sun there
Some make it rain

If you are the sun
I'm the rain
Look at the time now
What do you feel

Don't you have to go now
Away from me
The time for lovers
Sometimes end
Some kinds can be staying
Mine must leave again

If you are the sun
I'm the rain
Look at the time now
What do you feel

You were the sun
And I was the rain
Open and rise now
Do I look the same

If you are the sun
I'm the rain
You are the sun
I'm the rain
You are the sun
I'm the rain

Our man

How could we say goodbye
How can we say goodbye
How make a song reach the sky
How make your song reach the sky

My angels make the best of room
Here comes someone
You really ought to get to know
Here comes someone beautiful from below
It ain't easy to watch him go

A treasure chest sinking down
To the bottom of the sea
It's too deep, it's too high
Today it really, really hurts to feel

For sorrow you can't train your heart
Now is when we all go under
If tomorrow comes we will talk
And remember you
As our man of thousand wonders

It knows

I know where, it revives
It plays so dead
But I know
Where it goes wild

Just let it be, it's still inside
Pretends it's asleep
But I know
Where it'd break out

Yes I know where to go
To make it show
But I took it there
Far too many times
That's what it knows
It knows, it knows

I know where
It get back its time
It feels so old
But I know where
It'd get young

Just let it be
Don't need to feel it now
Plays hide and seek
But I know it's just the child

Yes I know where to go
To make it show
But I took it there
Far too many times
That's what it knows
It knows, it knows

To be forgiven

I've got to choose a road with
Many churches along
I need to be forgiven
Before I can be moving on

I've got to find those priests that
Can be looking down on me
And tell me I'm forgiven
For every wrong I feel

‘Cause other way is prison
And there's no place I wanna be

I've got to read some chapters
To teach me good and kind
I need to be forgiven
For the dark things on my mind

‘Cause other way is prison
And I can't stay there all night
Other way is prison

I need to earn salvation
That can help me just to be
I need to be forgiven
Before I ever can walk free

Song of the night

This must be my last song for you
All of me is in there
I'll call it what I've been calling you
You're the song of the night

Nobody knows that you are here
In my mind
I've got to do something else
Than let you take my time

You are the song of the night
I've got to fade out
You are the song of the night

You know that you're always here
I've spoken many times
With you, I've always been sincere
Though the weight of you looks blind

You are the song of the night
I've got to fade out
You are the song of the night

To Know You (Alt. Version)

To know you
Means a lot of things
Lot of love, lot of dreams

You are a world I can't explore
You're a scene
Got a feeling about
What that's mean

To be around you
Means I can't be there
Got to take my mind
Out of there

To explain you
Means my heart in show
Reminder of the nothingness
The reminder of the nothingness
I'm open to

To know you
Means a lot of things
Lot of love, lot of dreams
Lot of losts lot of life
Lot of dreams
Lot of dreams

Free now

You are free now babe
Here's your freedom
Stay free now babe

You are free now babe
You've got your freedom
Stay free now babe

Care for your freedom
You are free now
You are free now babe

Grab your things and go your way
Grab your loneliness and pray

Stay out now babe

Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
You are free now babe
Here's your freedom
Stay free now babe

You are free now babe
You've got your freedom
So choose your way

Care for your freedom
You're free now
You're free now babe

I Wouldn't Speak for Him

Next time I hear of that kind of love
I'll know what they mean
If I'm there I may stand up and proclaim
That I know how it feels
But I wouldn't speak for him

I may even listen when love is made
Listen and recall
How that kind of love does other things
Nothing you could hear through the walls
But I wouldn't speak for him
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
And when those lovers pass me by
I'm happy to watch them from here
Love is love until that other kind
Once makes you aware
But maybe, that's as far as I'll go
'Cause I can't go anywhere

Something reminds me of you
If that kind of love has something to fear
It's how it never lets go
But I, wouldn't speak for him
I wouldn't speak for him

All about you

It feeds my longing
To play for you
It feeds the sorrow
In it too

It recolours the marks and
There's so many of you
It recolours
The love too

It all could be just about you
It all could be just about you

It sounds all alarms
To enter this room
It sounds the alarm
In my heart too

It reduces my hours
Separated from you
It reduces
Happiness too

Some days are all about you
Some days are all about you
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
It reveals my devotion
For everything blue
It reveals my devotion
For you too

It anchors my position
To admit this mood
It anchors
Your roots deeper too

When all is about you
When all is about you

It weakens my defense
To hold it this close
It weakens
Other senses too

It feeds my longing
Longing for you
Gives me a feeling
And days are all about you
And days are all about you

For You

I'll escort you any day
I know the shortest way
On the road between me and you
Rolls the love I have for you

I'll take care of it all
I know who to call
The questions I ask for you
Are the worries in my love for you
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
You've got me all I need
You know what I like to drink and eat
And in the things I know about you
You'll find the natural love for you

A meteor hit our ground
And now the world's upside down
In the only life I know
Attacks my natural love for you

Attacks my natural love for you
Attacks my natural love for you
Attacks my natural love for you...

My Daughter

I'm alright but
I have to tell my daughter
She's the one who
Sees it everyday

I ain't crying
But I have to comfort my daughter
She seems to be feeling
The pain of mine

While I'm thinking
How to explain to my daughter
Why nothing
Will be the same from now on
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Another failure
Of the mother
Gives the child another lesson
In being strong

I'll might be alone but
I have to show my daughter
That it's nothing
That it's scaring me

She seems so confused
Of the new face of her mother
I have to tell my daughter
She must always trust in me

I Love You

I love you, I love you
Please, please get up for me
You become my sorrow
When you go to sleep
You are sleeping away from me

Tell me, just tell me
Who is there with you
And can you show me
Please show me
Where you're taken to
'Cause it's taking the most of you
Tell me, tell me

I get up early to face your morning
Trying to inhale your day
And I'm pouring my prayers in your coffee
Keeping other thoughts away
Thoughts that could take you away
Tell me, tell me

I'm waiting for my life with you
Waiting in and out for you
And in my steps there's more I do
Steps that wonder where they'll go
I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I walk by sun, I walk by rain
Spring and fall then home again
To tell you that summer's here
And that I'll die if you don't care
I'll die right now if you won't
If you won't meet me here

There's only moments left of you
Only moments of me too
Don't tell me then we died of love
I'm not hearing anything about love
If I'll be gone
If I'll be gone you may stand

If You're Still A Dreamer

If you're still a dreamer
You'll be nothing more than air
Nothing more than a rainbow
Just colours in the air

If you're still a lone wolf
The desert will be your home
The desert with a flower
Just blooming for the moon

If you're still a seeker
You'll stumble in the night
Stumble with blue eyes open
Just a flash before the crashing light
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
If you're still a letter
With secrets to the end
You'll be hidden in the fire
Smoke broken up by rain

If you're still a believer
This time of the day
You'll be nothing more than a romantic
A love that dreams it all away

Story Of Us

Is this me, is this you
The story of us in four letters to you
Four seasons of us, four seasons of you
Will end in the fourth letter to you

The story of me
The story of you

In everyone, I'll still be tied
I'm loosing up with four goodbyes
One to cry, one to scream
One to ask, one will explain
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
The story of me
The story of you

Your duty now, four letters long
Then you're off and a story is done
Here we lived, here we were
Let's write the end with a lover's word

The story of you

Churchbell

Churchbell, stop your ringing
So loud in my ears
I won't forget what I've told you
But I have no rush from here

I'm speaking from the bottom
Almost from the other side
I'm feeling my thanksgiving
Coming through and wide

Churchbell, churchbell
Stop ringing, stop ringing

When you've left your yearnings
Life can take you by surprise
I am stranded with your warning
How I could lose my eye
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I couldn't reach my father
But he let me understand
That he has opened up for others
Who'll lift me up again

So churchbell
Churchbell, stop ringing,
Stop ringing, stop ringing
Don't ring me out of here

If it isn't for a wedding
Hold your call on me
I'm just about to put my finger
On something that's on its way to me

So churchbell
Churchbell, stop ringing
Churchbell, churchbell, churchbell
Don't ring me out of here

My Soul Remembers

I would recognize you
I would feel you here
If your soul remembers
I'm still here

I would walk towards you
With the wrinkles around my eyes
My soul remembers
And I apologize

For all that has fallen
Out of time
I know I've fallen

I would show you my day
All this home has made so dear
My soul remembers
While I need to be someone to someone near
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
If your soul remembers
Would you give your mind a way to touch
If there's a touch for every feeling
Those years have stolen enough

I know I've fallen
Out of time
I know I've fallen

I would recognize you
Though the clouds you're behind
My soul remembers
See it's still chasing the sun

For all that has fallen
Out of time
I know I've fallen

Home

I see how you bring them down
I need to walk with you
And in the meantime
God was giving a name for you

I see how your rests are few
I need to run by your side
All with you gets new
And I didn't have to die
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I feel at home
Not alone
Are you my home

My secrets get light from you
I need your air in me
I need the eyes of you
You answer it all for me

I feel at home
Not alone
Are you my home
Are you my home

If feel at home
Not alone
Are you my home
Are you my home
Are you my home

Bless Me

Bless me with the rain
My excuses to the sun
My excuses to every summer cloud
I'm tired of copy paste
Bless me with the storm
I praise it after dawn
No fence should be blameless
Summer mornings

Lead me away
On this sunny day
I'm just being relieved
I'm pretending

Bless me with the rain
Bless me with the rain
Bless me with the rain
Bless me with the rain

Bless me with the rain
I apologise to the sun
My excuses to each and every one

My Song

My song
Saw you dancing in the late sun
Reaching for the horizon
I just knew what you're all about

My song
Saw you fall into the dark soon
Disappear and be all gone
I just knew what you must be
A song rhythm just for me
I'm tired of copy paste
Your tone
Proposing to a bright moon
The sooner the light comes
Sooner it will fade

My song, my song
My song, my song

My song
Saw you appear in the side shore
Just in time for your heart is closed
And then you that you could see me

Hearing the song rhythm just for me
Hearing the song rhythm just for me

Dreams Are Better

You are always lonely
You spared me unknown
The love that once was given
Somehow lingers you might saw
I'm tired of copy paste
You knew the dreams for me was better
Having to let them go
Yes you saw the dreamboat so much better
It's always saw

So many times I must have hurt you
Not finding ways like you
I've seen now you've been hoping
For me to be getting through

But dreams for me are better
Having to let them go
Dreams are always better
I know you know

When Times Are Bad

I see no one crying
Tears would be in the way
I could be crying over you every day

How could I help you
And would we go on
If I cry like a wanton
I’ll be helplessly gone

Everyone cries
When things get too sad
Just count your blessings
When times are bad

I hear no one talking
Sad words would let us down
I could talk about sorrow
All the time

How could I be there
And make you feel well
If I agree like I need to
I'll be lost to my shell

Everyone cries
When things get too sad
Just count your blessings
When times are bad

Everyone cries
When things get too sad
Just count your blessings
When times are bad
I'm tired of copy paste
When times are bad
When times are bad
When times are bad
When times are bad

When times are bad
When times are bad
When times are bad
When times are bad

The Happy Woman Cries

If you need happiness
We can own have left sometimes
We can own lead happy way
The happy woman cries

If you need cure for loneliness
I can take us out sometimes
Get a table they serve the bands
The happy woman cries

If you need happiness
Happy woman cries
Here's your happiness

If you need to feel the life
We can go on stage sometimes
We can lie down the room each night
The happy woman cries

If you need happiness
The happy woman cries
So here's your happiness
I'm tired of copy paste
If you need happiness
We can let it come around sometimes
Happier than I think I am
Separate women always cry

If you need happiness
The happy woman cries
Here's your happiness

If you need happiness
Happy women cry
Here's your happiness
Happy women cry

Imagine

Speak of the light
You seem to be looking into
Say something about the secret you might know
Remind us of the once we were waiting for you
How they are asking us to let you go
I'm tired of copy paste
Say what you see on the journey you're commencing
Describe for us where holding this comes from
Sure else there's no calls for a worries
There's no goodbye just say it so long

So let us imagine it's so on
A solace to hold onto
If we could imagine far beyond
The way you say it comes

Paint us a picture of peace heaven carries
Show how the colors become one
Remind us of the beauty of the story
How everyone becomes divine

So let us imagine it's so on
A solace to hold onto
If we could imagine far beyond
The way you say it comes

No Victims

I am saying that I love you
That's because I do
I'm not holding that against you
When you say you love me too
I'm tired of copy paste
We are not together
We are not near
We didn't make this happen
There are no victims here

I am saying that I love you
That means everyday
I'm there with your companion
When you need to dream away

I have library of essences
When I need to bring you back
I've being begging reading how you love me
That I can for into the deep of there

I am saying that I love you
That's because I do
I'm not holding that against you
When you say you love me too

This Prison

I will build these walls
I will build this prison
With a flow of a worker's hand
Nothing in me settles down
I'm tired of copy paste
I will be your wisdom
With the wealth of freedom
I bought a land
I bought the heart of a man
And I have never told him who I am

I follow rules in own permissions
I gave the orders my deed command
To be free with you was my mission
I think I never had a chance

I stole the heart of a man
Never gave it back again
I stole the heart of this man
Not ever did I tell him who I am

I Wonder

I wonder
I still wonder
If you loved me
If you loved me
I'm tired of copy paste
I wonder
Always wonder
If you ever will let me know

Will I ever see, ever see
A message sent from you to me

I travel
I still travel
With a wonder
With my wonder

I travel
Always with me
A message
Crumble message

That follows me
With stupid deliver
Do you from it

I compare love
I still compare love
So I wonder
I have to wonder

Something More

Longing for a kiss
Though my lips feel it is so old
If I painted them red
Would they be sweeter to you

Longing for that feel
You know what I mean
River passion is gone
I'm calling it back on

Can we see one another
And have this talk of love
Can we move each other
I need to feel something more

Longing to be seen
Though the glimpse seems far away
Could you lay eyes on me again
If I dressed up for you today
I'm tired of copy paste
I'm longing for that love
So I'm asking you again
If you liked to carry on
And go further into that land

Can we find each other
And have this walk of love
Can we go together
I need to say something move

Say something more
Say something more
Say something more
Say something more

By Your Side

I want you and you want me
But we've already gone to history
Buried under leaves and snow
I moulder there beside you

By your side
Was the time when all was blooming
All flowers were from you, from you

You were mine and I was yours
Has anyone danced a waltz that short
It's not so strange how we died
We ended up too far from each others sides
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
But by your side
Was the time I was embracing
Embracing life
From underneath my weeping willow
I am mourning the light
The light

By your side
Was the time I was embracing
Embracing life
From underneath my weeping willow
I am mourning the light
The light
By your side
By your side
By your side

Waiting Room

So, this is where I go to dream about you
You know how I like to be dreaming
I give them my life, I know I do
But for me, the dreams got the deepest meaning

Life is a waiting room without you
I never minded the waiting
There's something eternal about my dream of you
Just call me a patient believer
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
If there is an ending to the longing I feel
There is but one way to end it
It will be when I see you reaching for me
And I have your arms around me

So let me go and dream about you
Let me have those feelings
I know where I'm longing to
I know I am a patient believer
I'm a patient believer

Everywhere

I have gone everywhere
Everywhere
See where I found you
See backwards what I've gone blind through
I've gone everywhere

I've followed everyone
Everyone
Who held a fire
Who was a master of desire
I've followed everyone
I've followed everyone
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
I've dreamed of someone, anyone
Everywhere, in all times
Anywhere
I've dreamed of someone
I've dreamed of someone

And now I'm sorry
I'm sorry
For how it feels to hold you
For how my heart speaks about you
I'm coming from somewhere
Already swore my love there
Must be going back there
Coming from somewhere

Charlotte By The Shore

She's going to call you
She knows when it's time
She'll have the scarf on
The one has golden and shines

She's going to tell you
Her words of the day
You won't be ready
For what she will say

She's going to hold your blue eyes in her brown
Now like always, she won't let you look down
Her name is Charlotte
My Charlotte by the shore
She isn't here now, she doesn't breathe anymore

I remember the first time when I was down on my knees
She was a woman that could stand anyone on their feet
She was the Charlotte
My Charlotte by the shore
I can't wait to see her, but she's not seen anymore
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
She's not going to let you say goodbye
She's just saying that she will be away for a while
We all know that she left us for all times
My Charlotte
She's not here anymore
They still seach for her
The waves upon her shore

When You Remember

When you remember
It will be random
Accidentally
You'll remember

I was the one
Who made a land in your eyes
The one you forget
The one you can't get back
The one you're stealing the memories from
The one who is gone
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Along the rivers
Water under bridges
There will be fractions
They will show up in pieces
Occasional fragments
You'll remember

I was the one
You saw far from the sea
The one that you lost
The one you concealed

I was the one
For whom you set the course
The one you left aside
The one that now can't be yours
The one you're stealing the memories from
The one who is gone

Got To Go With Love

If I'm going out to see you
It must be the perfect night
It must be worth every damaged feeling
It just has to feel right

'Cause we don't have too many chances
To turn this sinking boat around
Not without broken senses
And our broken hearts in mind
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
But I've got to go with love
I got to go with love
You're the one I love
You're the one I love

If I'm going to hold you near me
I need to know how you will feel
If it turns out we're not ready
We might never be

But I'll see you out of love
I see you out of love
I got to go with love
You're the one I love
I got to go with love
I got to go with love
You're the one I love
I got to go with love

I Pray

A morning prayer
An evening prayer
So many prayers those days
So many prayers

I heard yours are for time
Let's pray for time
All kinds of time
I'm just one

I pray, I pray
Sometimes I'm just someone would prays
Those times would sudden lights
I'm just praying for a way
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
I pray, I pray
That is what I do today
Soon if we believe
They will be answered with a way
A way

Many may come
From the helpless ones
Who believe that help will come
Believe and hold on

I pray, I pray
That is what I do today
Soon that's my faith
I can help us in a way

I pray, I pray
That is what we do today
Soon if we believe
They will be answered with a way

Should I Tell You

Will you be glad to hear from me
Should I let it out of me
Should I tell you how my week has been
Or shouldn't I say anything
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
How I have gong from room to room
Followed by those thoughts of you
I've been walking in and out
Like I'm not sure where I'm living now

Should I tell you, should I tell you
Should I tell you those things
Should I tell you, should I tell you

Should I tell you, should I tell you
Where my heart has been
Should I fill you in

I will see you one more time
Should I speak to you about
Feelings that got no rights
Is this something you would like to hear about

Should I tell you, should I tell you
Should I tell you those things
Should I tell you, should I tell you

Should I tell you, should I tell you
Where my heart has been
Should I tell you
Should I fill you in

Will you be glad to hear from me
Should I let it out of me
Should I tell you how my week has been
Or shouldn't I

Should I tell you, should I tell you
Should I tell you those things
Should I tell you, should I tell you

Should I tell you, should I tell you
Where my heart has been
Should I tell you
Should I fill you in

The Lord

I know
I know, there are no surprises
I know
This broken road
Is not the way to the Lord

Despair in your mind
Leaving us is fine
'Cause you're not
Going to be the one
Who will be walking me
To the Lord
Lord, oh Lord
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
I discover now and then
More things that point at
Who I am
You can't cover-up for them again
The whiskey and wine

In my soul, I know
I need to go
There will be no more changes
To see the Lord

Lord, oh Lord
Lord, oh Lord

My Dear

I've seen my dear
I know him
He's been here
Can't you feel his atmosphere

Can't you tell
Can't you see
How I'm wearing his feel
His wind blows through me
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
I have written his name
In the window of saints
Can't you see his colours that I paint

I've seen my dear
Even if not every year
Still he's the gate in here

Do You Think It Could Wait

Do you think it could wait
I don't believe that I can do this now
I don't know what it is, but
It would cost too much pain not to make this right
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
We need to begin
To face the troubles we are in
We are waiting outside
To source our lives

Can I come back
I don't think that I will make it now
Where I'm at
It's too far from what we're about

We need to find
Those moments we fly
We need to fly out
And back into line

Forgiveness

I can feel it's on its way now
Yes, it's on its way now
The hearts forgiveness comes in time

I did nothing for it
I just left my heart to hold it
I feel you're welcome back into my mind
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Your name is on my lips again
In a whisper with the sound of pain
Someday they may speak loud to you
How much I have been missing you

No Room For Dealing

It will be a fine memory
If I now choose it to be
I will make someone proud
Once I'm leaving

It will feel good in my heart
And good in my soul
If I'd for once
Be the one who's yielding

'Cause I hear no
When he's pointing at you
Shaking his head
To all I'm pleading

You say no, you say go
And you say there's no room for dealing

It will be a great fantasy
If I now let it be
I will make someone pleased
To give up some feelings

It will feel good in my heart
And good in my soul
If I for once give up
What I believe in

'Cause I hear no
When he's pointing at you
Shaking his head
To all I'm pleading

You say no
You say go
And you say there's no room for dealing

Only A Miracle

Only a miracle, only a miracle
Can save me
Only love and only help from above

For my fate I turn to you
I will yield for whatever you will do

Only a gift, only a gift from the Lord
Can free me
Only a love, only love can cure

By your verdict I abide
Only you can get life back on my side
On my side

Only a will, only a heavenly will
Can heal me
Only a faith, a faith that he sees me still

For you mighty I lay down
Only you can lift me up this time

Only a miracle, only a miracle
Only love and only help from above

Sunrise

I have to ask you
Why don't you just leave
If you never loved him
This is a mystery

I have to tell you
This is hard to understand
If you are never happy
You'll fall for the night again

But the sun'll rise
The sunrise before your eyes
Will this be the day you change your life

You have to tell me
What is it I can't see
Yes the night is delightful
But so can days be, you'll see

The sun'll rise
The sunrise before your eyes
Will this be the day you change your life
There comes a numbing darkness with the night
But the sunrise, the sunrise before your eyes
The sunrise

The sun'll rise
The sunrise before your eyes
Will this be the day you change your life
There comes a numbing darkness with the night
But the sunrise, the sunrise before your eyes

I have to ask you
Why don't you just leave

Mirage

I'm thinking if this was a harbour
How would that make us feel
If we walked quietly through the hours
In the scent of the sea

I'm thinking if there was an hour
When you could say anything to me
The harbour is a mirage
It's just a thought inside of me

Just thinking if this was a cottage
And you saw me on the hill
Would you invite me for some coffee
And then have time stand still

I'm just thinking about the time and
How it ends so brutally
The cottage is a mirage
No such time could be
But surely it looks like a house to me

I'm thinking if this was an island
Where our summers'd be
What do you think could happen
If all time we had was free

Just thinking about the summer
And where it's taking me
The island is a mirage
Soon I'll have to veer
But surely it looks like land to me

I'm thinking if this was a tavern
And we would say hello
Pleasures by the hour
I dream of so much more

I'm dreaming of a harbour
A coast and the open sea
They are all a mirage
So is the man in front of me
But surely he looks like a man to me

Giving God A Plan

No one got better
I've gone through my time
If I'm dressed like a widow
It's because I am one

No one replaced you
Though I gave them your chair
I'm not going back to my sorrow
It's always been here

I'm giving God a plan
To close this affair

No one got right
Though I hoped it would change
If you see me as always
It's because I still feel the same

No one got closer
That's how lonely it's here
I wasn't made of sorrow
I'm just stuck in my share

Giving God a plan
To close this affair
Giving God a plan
Giving God a plan
Giving God a plan
I'm giving God a plan
Giving God a plan

Possibilities

If you feel offended by
The way I will bring this up
I could leave it just for now

But before it changes too much
I'd like us to try to oversee
And try to dare to feel
How life will be changing us

The history, the memories
And finally
Reality

If you need my defence
For how I pour this on your mind
We can speak another time

But before it gets too late
I'd like us to think about a way
To sincerely have our say
About the roles we play

History, memories and finally
Reality
Where we'd be
Possibilities
Possibilities

In Control

You got it so far
Pressure is hard
Are you in control

You're keeping your sense
But your pitch sounds intense
Are you in control

Are you in control
Though the world is shaking

The battle is tough
And I watch you get knocked
Are you still in control

The limit is reached
There are many to please
You must save them all

Are you in control
Though your heart is breaking
Are you in control

You got so far
But it's trying your heart
Are you in control

Just making a point
Watch out if you don't
You'll lose control

You can't lose control
Though your world is shaking
You are in control
While your heart is breaking

There Is Love

There's no road to you
My door is closed for you
My world is lightyears from you
There's no road to you

But there is love
There is love
There is love
Between us

Like the moon I always look for
Too far away to even long for
Too far away to reach for
Like the moon I always look for

But there is love
There is love
There is love
Between us

There is love
There is love
There is love
Between us

There's no way to catch a rainbow
Nothing you could ever come close to
There's something divine you're sometimes part of
There's no way to catch the moonglow

But there is love
There is love
There is love
Between us

There is love
There is love
There is love
Between us

How To Look At Life

If I had my lover
If I've had my last lover
Nothing strange about it
Love changes for everybody
But I'd be sorry
And unsure how to look at life

I have my worries
And I've made up many stories
About love and I've loved them
But I'm a lonely lover
If there won't be another
I'd be unsure how to look at life

If it'd be over
I suddenly feel much older
I love peaceful mornings
But if a storm's never coming
I'd miss somebody
That's all I ask of life

If had my lover
If I had my last lover
No, I wouldn't say
That I am in two minds about it
I'd be too sorry
It will be hard to look at life

The World Ain't Pretty

When you see me in the corner
Take your seat nearby
Sit where I can see you
And let me see your eyes

It's my way into the passion
Not to disturb your mood and mind
And you know you've got a lover
Though it's day and working time

It's a day when I'm a painter
I need to paint a scenery
What you offer is a romance
To make the colors bleed

'Cause here the world ain't too pretty
(The world ain't pretty)
And the magic almost gone
(The world ain't pretty)
If you share this moment with me
We'll build a new one on our own

No, the world ain't too pretty
(The world ain't pretty)
And the beauty no one sees
(The world ain't pretty)
If you share this moment with me
We both know what this world needs

It's a day when I'm a writer
Can't find a sound for what I feel
So it happens when I see you
The quiet poetry

Those days when I'm too tired
And far too weak to chase
I rest in still desire
And for you I gently wait

'Cause here the world ain't too pretty
(The world ain't pretty)
And the magic almost gone
(The world ain't pretty)
If you share this moment with me
We'll build a new one on our own

No, the world ain't too pretty
(The world ain't pretty)
And the beauty no one sees
(The world ain't pretty)
If you share this moment with me
We both know what this world needs

The world ain't pretty
The world ain't pretty
The world ain't pretty
The world ain't pretty

If you share this moment with me
We'll build a new one on our own

The world ain't pretty
The world ain't pretty
No, the world ain't pretty
The world ain't pretty

If you share this moment with me
We both know what this world needs

The world ain't pretty
The world ain't pretty
The world ain't pretty
The world ain't pretty

What If

What if
The one I'm searching for
Is you who
I know so many have found before

What if
My love is wasted here
And true love
Recents somewhere

What if my heart's
Not sincere

What if
My heart's too closed and fenced
That true love
Can't break through my defence

What if my heart's
Condemned
What if true love
Believes it's dead

What if my eart
Not has enough to trade
All passing loves
For only one that would stay

What if my heart
Only likes to play
What if true love
Has lost its faith

Do You Remember

Do you remember me
I'm someone from the past
Don't look for me in my dreams
I abandoned them at last

So on the seaside
Or the river
There will be no ship that's mine
In a bottle by the shoreline
Lays a longing from old times

I always remembered you
So I came to say goodbye
Don't follow upon my dreams
They are taken by the tide

Out on the water
In the currents
With no land in sight
A moonbeam on the surface
Could be a memory of light

If you can remember me

If you can remember me
Of dreams I was a queen
They must be worth something
The only wealth I rolled around in

I had fairways
And compasses
But never found you on my way
Somewhere I came to lose them
Dreamless now I wonder
Further and further away

One Man's Kiss

In my rocking chair
Eyes upon the sea
A dark sweet cigarette
Slowly swinging in time
With my memories

I always come out here
Watch the ocean lovingly
Seduced by bottles of champagne
Somehow it's still the picture
I'd like to see of me

One man's kiss
If you ask me what I truly miss
Since I relive it in my mind I feel
There's no reason to end my days in greed

Old feet in the sand
Carried by the wind
Holding no one's hand
My company's well hidden in my secrecy

On the porch I have my meals
Someone cooked for me with love
Today I asked for whitefish roe
If I could have some oysters
I'd be happy when I go

One man's kiss
If you ask me what I truly miss
Since I relive it in my mind I feel
There's no reason to end my days in greed

One man's kiss
If you ask me, that's my only bliss
That I can close my eyes and almost feel
His kiss as it was real

In my eeny diary
If someone cared to read
The world with a notice
It took me fifty years to taste of holy kiss

This Is The Place

Too much
To find words for it
Too much pain
To even feel it
The land's too vast
Can't walk around in it
Too thick darkness
Can't see how to enlighten it

But there is a place deep in my mind
And that is the place that we will find

This exhausted air
Too thin to breathe in
Those narrow nights
Too scary to fall asleep in
Too fragile this life
To be held in
Trees too high
For climbing

But there is a place that waits for you
And that is the place I'll take you to

Too strong currents
To swim in
Too great a war
To stay seen in
There's no book
To read in
No answers
Already filled in

But there is a place deep in my mind
And that is the place that we will find

God Do You Year

My thoughts, they go as a journey
And land on everyone that I know
I worry a lot
About whose heart could give up

I hope I do what I can
Though I know not enough
As small as I am
I'm here looking up

God, do you hear
We pray out of fear
Give us a hand down here

I was lucky this time
Though all we lost something's gained
The sensation of life
Just to touch you again

The feeling of life
Just to see you again
I'm free and alive
Won't forget that this time

God, do you hear
We pray out of fear
Give us a hand down here

God, do you hear
(God, do you hear)
We pray out of fear
Give us a hand down here

Be For Real

Are you back in my life to stay
Or is it just for today
Oh that you're gonna need me

If it's a thrill
You are looking for
Honey, I am flexible
Oh yeah

Just be for real
Won't you, baby
Be for real
Oh baby

You see, I, I don't want
To be hurt by love again

So you see I'm not naive
I'd just like to believe
Oh what you tell me

So don't give me the world today
And tomorrow take it away
Don't do that to me, darling

Just be for real
Won't you, baby
Be for real
Won't you, baby

You see, I, I don't want
To be hurt by love again

You see, I (you see, I)
I don't want (I don't want)
To be hurt by love again

Just be for real (be for real)
Won't you, baby
Be for real (be for real)
Won't you, baby
Be for real
Won't you, baby

Do Something

I see a danger
From my side
But I'm too far away
For it to appear
Before your eyes

I look for sounds
For an alarm
That calls so loud
So it'll reach you
Where you are

I sense a giant
Tidal wave
In my despair
I see it hauling
You away

Do something, do something
That will change your ways

With other eyes
It shows so clear
But who am I to speak
When I'm not there

I sense
A tragedy
And I am scared
You'd fall in
Front of me

Do something, do something
And don't wait long
(Do something, do something)
Do something, do something
But don't wait long
(Do something, do something)
Do something, do something
But don't wait long
Don't wait long

When You're Singing

Now that you let me sing through you
Maybe he will hear me
When you're singing
You dazzle anyone

And with your wide and solid voice
Maybe you can catch him
When you're singing
You're holding hearts so close

And now when I've got the chance to reach
Notes much higher
Maybe he can't walk untouched from here

Now that I borrow your precious gift
Maybe I'll be desired
When you're singing
The love in it is so blessed

Now that you let me sing through you
Sing to him I love him
When you're singing
(When you're singing)
When you're singing
(When you're singing)
When you're singing
Everyone listens to the words

Black Pearl

Carefully open up
The shell and see its glimmer
Have you seen
Something so black
And you thought
There was nothing in there

Be gentle now
Don't touch it yet
No hand has ever held it
Before you lift it out in the air
Prepare your heart for it

Black pearl
In my hand
Is rare and it's precious
Afraid now I am
(Black pearl)
That I will lose
This treasure

Come slowly close
And treat it well
For the wound
He was made from
It easily could fall back to
Its darkness
And then it'd be gone

Black pearl
In my hand
Is rare and it's precious
Afraid now I am
(Black pearl)
That I will lose this

Black pearl
(Black pearl)
In my hand
(Black pearl, black pearl)
Is rare and it's precious
Afraid now I am
(Black pearl)
That I will lose
My treasure

Black pearl
(Black pearl)
In my hand
Is rare and it's precious
Afraid now I am
(Black pearl)
That I will lose
My treasure

This Will Be The Year

They say the first four seasons
Are the hardest to get by
A tearful mist will shade your eyes

They say that it'll take four seasons
To know you will survive
Before you can answer how
You're still breathing

This will be the year
I'll just abide
This will be a year of long walks
To the smiles

This will be a year
Of endless nights
This will be a year
Turned away from light

A birthday, holiday and Christmas
Will be merciless, robbed of joy
The other days, a grief envoy

This will be the year
We'll lose our faith
Waves of pain will show you
Sorrows face

This will be the year
To learn he's gone
This will be the year
Of grief alone

Tell that poor thing to open his eyes
Tell him to open the door to his house
Tell him the sun is shining outside
And the stars spark brightly almost every night

Tell him some flowers already have grown
Tell him the ice broke this afternoon
Tell him fishermen are out there to catch
Tell him there are lovers so hungry to match

Ask that poor thing if he is alright
Ask him why he is so eager to fight
Ask him how many years that have gone
And ask him why he hasn't moved on

Warned that poor thing about who's gonna pay
Mourning about the danger in his ugly way
And tell him that some smokes are too good to ignore
Tell him there are some flavours you could be born for
Ask him why yelling don't reach his mind
Tell him there's no mercy for the bitter kind

( Decade of dreams LP )

I have gone back dreaming
So you must lead me through the day
I will touch you night time
And in the loveliest way

I would feel the sunlight
But I could burn from everywhere
Now you must make me a shadow
I will shine for you in there

I can't change
I can't change
I can't change

My angel took her promise
And left with the worst of lies
How will there ever be a future
If everyone just dies

I can't change
I can't change
I can't change

I have gone back dreaming
So you must wake me in a while
You will see me leaving
You will get my morning smiles

My angel made my difference
Like no one really can
She left me here to love you
Please love me if you can

Life

( Precious Burden Japanese Bonus Track )

I close my eyes
So the world stays inside
And I decide what is true

I know you are
And I've been to a place
That's not that far

I wish we could go now
Where you can feel no time
Where nothing juggles with your mind
Where no one wants what you buy
Where no one lives your life

I wanna live my life with you
That is all you need to know
And if I doubt, it's never about you
And if I doubt, it's never about you

( Swedish version of Bob Dylan's "Tomorrow is a long time" / Duet with Uno Svenningson )

Most inconvenient time

I know how you make love
That's how I know that you have loved
And now you follow me around
To appear at the most inconvenient time

Like desire it's hard
To think straight for each part
It's nothing that can be declined
But you appear at a most inconvenient time

We say hi, we say goodbye
While I watch you in the corner of my eye
That's how you follow me around
It can happen anytime
Somehow you're always around
To appear at the most inconvenient time

That's how you follow me around
It can happen anytime
Somehow you're always around
To appear at the most inconvenient time

Most of the time

Most of the time
I'm clear focused all around
Most of the time
I can keep both feet on the ground
I can follow the path, I can read the signs
Stay right with it, when the road unwinds
I can handle whatever I stumble upon
I don't even notice he's gone
Most of the time

Most of the time
It's well understood
Most of the time
I wouldn't change it if I could
I can't make it all match up, I can hold my own
I can deal with the situation right down to the bone
I can survive, I can endure
I don't even think about him
Most of the time

Most of the time
My head is on straight
Most of the time
I'm strong enough not to hate
I don't build up illusion 'till it makes me sick
I ain't afraid of confusion no matter how thick
I can smile in the face of mankind
Don't even remember what his lips felt like on mine
Most of the time

Most of the time
He ain't even in my mind,
I wouldn't know him if I saw him
He's that far behind
Most of the time
I can't even be sure
If he was ever with me
Or if I was with him

Most of the time
I'm halfway content
Most of the time
I know exactly where I went,
I don't cheat on myself, I don't run and hide
Hide from the feelings, that are buried inside
I don't compromised and I don't pretend
I don't even care if I ever see him again
Most of the time

( Decade of dreams LP )

To leave somebody like you made me crazy
Sometimes you don't wanna know what hearts can do
To leave you was the way to get happy
To leave your love was what I had to do

I know that some places some moments will throw a light upon our faces
And there will be no times I wish I had no scar
And those little hands we're holding together
That's our love

That's our love
That's our love

To save her from you was a thought too hard to imagine
And I understand that some feelings really are gone
But maybe you can feel it when we're hugging
That is something he's left I wouldn't mind to stay strong

And we've got a heart that won't ever leave us broken
That's our love, that's our heart

That's our love
That's our love

That's our love
That's our love

I've been away, I went too f ar
I stayed away too long from my heart

Afraid to die, afraid of you
My heart is beating now
But the mind has blown

I've been on vacation
That's where I've been
I could show you some pictures
But not the things I've seen
But not the things I've seen

Stay inside, the world gets wide
If you can't see anything, where do you hide

I've been on vacation
That's where I've been
I could show you some pictures
But not the things I've seen
But not the things I've seen

I've been on vacation
That's how I see it now
I could tell you some stories
If you just let me try

I've been on vacation
That's where I've been
I could show you some pictures
But not the things I've seen
I could show you some pictures
But not the things I've seen
I could show you some pictures
But not the things I've seen
But not the things I've seen
