Тексты:
Dark is the Night for All
(Pal Waaktaar)
It's time we said goodbye Time now to decide O' don't you feel so small Dark is the night for all It's time we moved out West This time will be the best And when the evenings fall Dark is the night for all It's time… yeah, to break free It's time to pull away For you and for me It's time… yeah, to break free We need to celebrate the mystery It's time we said goodbye Time for you and I O' don't you feel so small Dark is the night for all
Move to Memphis
(Pal Waaktaar — Magne Furuholmen)
Walked around no one around You were the one who taught me better This old town brings me down You were the one who told me you've got to Move to Memphis That's what I'll do Move to Memphis and follow you Trace that highway down to your doorway Move tho Memphis and be with you On the day you walked away I was the one who said You'd better stick around stay in town You were the one who told me you've got to Move to Memphis That's what I'll do Chase the shadow that follows you Trace that highway down to your doorway Move to Memphis and be with you That's what I'll do Move to Memphis to be with you I'm gonna be with you
Cold as Stone
(Pal Waaktaar)
You're back again You roam the streets And crack again You're back again You're travel-worn Standing here in the town Where you were born It's not your home The mirror sees you So alone … Cold as stone Yeah You're not your own You feel a chill Go through your bones You're not your own There's something wrong You call you doctor On the phone He's not at home You leave a message After the tone "I'm cold as stone" Emerald green neon lights above Sapphire red falls on you below Cold as stone Emerald green neon lights above Sapphire reds fall on you below You're back again You send a curse out In to the night You're back again You're travel-worn Standing here In the town you were born It's not your home The mirror sees you So alone … Cold as stone Cold as stone
Angel in the Snow
(Pal Waaktaar)
Angel, angel or so Wherever you may go Hmm, yeah… I'll follow And always will I be there Shake worries from your hair Hmm, yeah... I'll be there Always, wherever you may go
Locust
(Pal Waaktaar)
Don't be afaid It's a harmless moon All we can do Is to assume Our lives must change A change is due I hear you say What are we gonna do O' weeping night O' grieving sky O' rabbit wind You just flew by Grant me this Some small reward Don't announce Time of the final call My dream was this: Across the sky A slate-grey cloud That filled the eye … A slate-grey cloud… Comes through the dust — Locust Dont' be afraid It's a harmless moon
Lie Down in Darkness
(Pal Waaktaar)
With all our goals and destinations… Everything must be this way Vague are hopes that try our patience Listen now to what I say Oh, lie down in darkness I want you next to me Oh, lie down in darkness Here with me All our trials and tribulations… Will it ever make much sense All these years They disappear They leave me here without defense Oh, lie down in darkness I want you next to me Oh, lie down in darkness Here with me
How Sweet it Was
(Pal Waaktaar)
Uh… yeah, that's alright Lend us a voice In this howling night Just about a month ago You made a promise, babe Not to go Yes, you did now You were the heart and soul One to the nightfall One to the stars One to the haunted fools we are One to remember One to recall One to acknowledge Just how sweet it was, yeah Just about a month ago You make a promise Ain't that so Yes, you did now Into this howling night You got You got You got You got me so You got me so low I wouldn't lie, babe Not again It's such a crime To while away my time One to remember One to recall One to acknowledge Just how sweet it was We were so happy We were okay We let our good thing, honey Just slip away Lend us a voice In this howling night
Lamb to the Slaughter
(Magne Furuholmen)
I went down to the water Like a lamb to the slaughter Didn't know what was waiting for me there Nobody warned me Nobody told me My excuse is I wasn't prepared I drank deep from the river And sealed up my fate I should have seen the trap, baby Before it was too late We go down We go down We go down, it's the only way out Who is this fool Who believed all the stories I wish I could say It's not me You polluted my head With all the things you said I became what you wanted to see All of these years I've built up this hate I had my chance coming But now it's too late We go down We go down We go down, its the only way out
Between Your Mama and Yourself
(Pal Waaktaar)
Hey listen honey, something you should know This can't wait I've been meaning to tell you a long time ago And today's that day I'll put it straight No, it just can't wait Oh sure, it took a little time I know that's true But this business been preying on my mind Since I met you The thing is babe, Between your mama and yourself Forced to choose and without help With a margin, you know it's true The one I love Well, it's eh… prpbably you C'mon now, stay a little while Before you go This thing, it's been preying on my mind But even so This I know You've got to know It's got to show Yeah, I've got to let her go
Memorial Beach
(Pal Waaktaar)
I pace the length of my unmade room In times of change My bags are packed, guess I'm leaving the womb Into the rain We never found A place to hide Some peace of mind God knows we tried Toes in the sand, the seductive sway Ooh… nothing better, babe Across the bay — Sarasota Way We held together We never found A place to hide Some peace of mind God knows we tried, yeah So we walk down to Memorial Beach Where things began Honey days and nights without sleep Lost in the sand We never found a place to hide Some peace of mind God knows we tried, yeah
