LIFE

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

 

 VACATION
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


 
MEN BARA OM MIN ÄLSKADA VÄNTAR / TOMORROW IS A LONG TIME
Om idag inte var en änlös landsväg / If today was not an endless highway
Och inatt en vild och krokig stig / If tonight was not a crooked trail
Om i morgon inte kändes so oändlig / If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
Då är ensamhet ett ord som inte finns / Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all

Jag kan inte se min spegelbild i vattnet / I can't see my reflection in the waters
Jag kan inte säga sorglösa ord / I can't speak the sounds that show no pain
Jag hör inte mitt eko slå mot gatan / I can't hear the echo of my footsteps
Kan inte minnas vem jag var igår / Or can't remember the sound of my own name

Men bara om min älskade väntar / Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
Om jag hör hennes hjärte sakta slå / Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Bara om hon låg här tatt intill mig / Only if she was lyin' by me
Kan jag bli den jag var igår / Then I'd lie in my bed once again

Det finns skönhet i flodens silver sånger / There's beauty in the silver, singin' river
Det finns skönhet i gryningsolens sken / There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky
Men då ser jag i min älskades öga / But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty
En skönhet större än alting som jag vet / That I remember in my true love's eyes

Och bara om jag vet att du väntar / Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
Och kan hör ditt hjärte sakta slå / Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Bara om du låg här tätt intill mig / Only if she was lyin' by me
Kan jag bli den jag var igår / Then I'd lie in my bed once again

Bara om min älskade väntar / Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
Bara om min älskade väntar / Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
Bara om min älskade väntar / Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
Bara om min älskade väntar / Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'


 
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


 
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
 
 
 
ON THE HILLSIDE
 
I saw her first time on the day that I walked to town
She stood on a stump where the creek goes under ground
And I never shall forget
Swiftly our eyes met
I turned away and I hastened up my stride
 
Then I met her in the garden late in June
She looked the same, and right away I knew
And the heat rose in my chest
She would be the test
I had to steel myself, or that day would long be ruined
 
And on the hillsides the bees was humming,
And through the valley spring was coming
But I kept to my road and the road was
straight and I walked it ever since
 
Such a long time now I've seen that boy around
Time hurried away and left him sorrow-bound
Way he looks me from a far
Always broke my heart
Like a prisoner behind self-made bars
 
And on the hillsides the bees was humming,
And through the valley spring was coming,
But you kept to your road and the road was
straight and you walked it ever since
 
And though you closed your ears & eyes
To the bustling moment of life
It's not too late, no it's not late
 
There's a shadow on my wall
There's a river never stalled
Sometimes the wind seems to shift
And years go by she's slipping from my sight
But every once in a while she comes to me at night
And the question rise again
All that could have been
And how the grass felt on bare feet and skin
 
And on the hillsides the bees was humming,
And through the valley the spring was coming,
But I kept to my road and the road was
straight and you walked it ever since
And on the hillsides the bees was humming,
And through the valley the spring was coming
But I kept to my road and the road was
straight and you walked it ever since
