Even though I'll never need her
Even though she's only giving me pain
I'll be on my knees to feed her
Spend a day to make her smile again

Even though I'll never need her
Even though she's only giving me pain
As the world is soft around her
Leaving me with nothing to disdain

Even though I'm not her minder
Even though she doesn't want me around
I am on my feet to find her
To make sure that she is safe and sound

Even though I'm not her minder
Even though she doesn't want me around
I am on my feet to find her
To make sure that she is safe from harm

The sun sets on the war
The day breaks and everything is new

The sun sets on the war
The day breaks and everything is new

Everything is new
Everything is new
Everything is new

The sun sets on the war
The day breaks and everything is new

In the sky the birds are pulling rain
In your life the curse has got a name
Makes you lie awake all through the night
That's why.
She's intoxicated by herself
Everyday she's seen with someone else
And every night she kisses someone new
Never you.
You're waiting in the shadows for a chance
'Cause you believe at heart that if you can
Show to her what love is all about
She'll change.
She'll talk to you with no one else around
But only if you're able to entertain her
The moment conversation stops she's gone
Again.
she's gone
You believe at heart that if you can
She'll change
At heart that if you can
But~ The moment conversation stops she's gone
Again.

Things seem so much better when
They're not part of your close surroundings
Like words in a letter sent
Amplified by the distance
Possibilities and sweeter dreams
Sights and sounds calling form far away
Calling from far away

I didn't know you then, now did I girl?
I couldn't hear you singing softly to me
I didn't know you then, now did I girl?
I didn't see the brave girl so near me
I didn't know you then, now did I girl?
I couldn't hear you sing softly to me

I wanted a mystery that couldn't be solved
I wanted a puzzle with pieces missing
I wanted a story that couldn't be told
Only the fishing part of fishing

I didn't know you then, now did I girl?
I couldn't hear you singing softly to me
I didn't know you then, now did I girl?
I didn't see the brave girl so near me
I didn't know you then, now did I girl?
I couldn't hear you sing softly to me

And now I find
It was you all the time.
I'm in love again-
It's too late now...

You called me after midnight,
must have been three years since we last spoke.
I slowly tried to bring back,
the image of your face from the memories so old.
I tried so hard to follow,
but didn't catch the half of what had gone wrong,
said I don't know what I can save you from.

I asked you to come over, and within half an hour,
you were at my door.
I had never really known you,
but I realized that the one you were before,
had changed into somebody for whom
I wouldn't mind to put the kettle on.
Still I don't know what I can save you from.

Using the Guardian as a shield
To cover my thighs against the rain
I do not mind about my hair

Your jacket may be waterproof
But I know the moment you get home
You're gonna get your trousers changed

Failure is always the best way to learn
Retracing your steps until you know
Have no fear your wounds will heal

I wish I could travel overground
To where all you hear is water sounds
Lush as the wind upon a tree

I wish I could travel overground
To where all you hear is water sounds
To capture and keep inside of me

Failure is always the best way to learn
Retracing your steps until you know
Have no fear your wounds will heal

Failure is always the best way to learn
Retracing your steps until you know
Have no fear your wounds will heal

Your eyes are cold
I know you'll tell me all

Not to fall
I lean against the wall

I'm on the floor
Not listening anymore

I should have known
The things to which you're prone
(You cross your arms
And tell no lies
A thousand thoughts run
Through my mind
A thousand words that I don't need
I never thought you could do this)

I should have known
The things to which you're prone
(You cross your arms
And tell no lies
A thousand thoughts run
Through my mind
A thousand words that I don't need
I never thought you could do this)

Your eyes are cold
I know you'll tell me all
Not to fall
I lean against the wall

Little kids playing in the park downtown
Someone's dad is watching
From the side of the ground
I'm following my shadow so I cross the street
Car passing stereo I like the beat

Open up the door
Turning on the fan
Dropping down the keys that I held in my hand
And then start waiting for her steps
To be heard in the staircase
Enter the room and let down her bag
Asking me all kinds of trivial questions
Pretending an everyday life we don't have
Pretending an everyday life we don't have
Pretending an everyday life we don't have

Little kids playing in the park downtown
Soon they'll be all gone as the sun goes down
Little kids playing in the park downtown
Soon they'll be all gone as the sun goes down
And rises over, Brooklyn Bridge tomorrow
Hours later I will follow
Wake up to a life that's hollow without love
Without love...
Without love...

From my seat I see the fields move by
Coulours strong - it's been a long, long time
It's the first time I see summer on the Westhill

I lean back and let my eyes just go
Floating now where they want to float
They seem to take to the horizon

Now I know there is a world beyond
The small place I was coming from
I feel at home here in the middle of nowhere
I will never know the names
Of these places that I travel through
to reach the coastline
I've been told I will be there in time

Please oceancloud
Let there be no storm on the crossing below
Please oceancloud
Let there be no storm on the crossing below
Please oceancloud
Let there be no storm on the crossing below
Please oceancloud
Let there be no storm on the crossing below

I didn't know you were there
until you said "hello."
You had been watching me
for I don't know how long.
I hit my head against the lamp,
as by surprise I stood up.
"Don't be afraid," you said,
"it's only me- The door wasn't locked."
The voice I'd heard in the hall
was hard to recognise.
But now we know he's onboard,
wearing our disguise.
If only you and I could trust
each other through this,
then together we could
work out who
the enemy is.
