« Dream songs », lyrics

 

All my  tears are gone

There’s a feeling that I want to feel

When I slowly dive into the night

I close my eyes

Turn out the light

You never wonder why

 

All my tears are gone

When in my dreams

I drown

All my tears are gone

When in my dreams

I drown

 

There’s someone that I want to be

When you don’t give up on me

My old fears die and disappear

As i have never seen

 

Ref

 

There’s something that i want to know

When you go deep into my soul

Do you fall in love with somebody

Sometimes  in this reality ?

 

Ref

 

My castles

My Castles

Are just made of sand

In the king’s room

Her life

Came to an end

 

My Castels

We used to live in

When we were friends

 

My Castels

I took her by the hand

On the silent beach

Our love

Ended up stranding

My Castles

We used to live

In mists and rains

Now life calls out for change

 

My Castles

I sold

The father’s land

To a stranger

Whose Wife

Ended up breaking

My Castles

What if I’d live

So far from them ?

 

My Castles

I have a fight on my hands

And as the tide flows

The Kingdom comes

To an end

Oh My Castles

We used to live in

When we were friends

 

My Castles

Are just made of sand

In the king’s room

Her life

Came to an end

 

My Castels

We used to live in

When we were friends

 

Are you as alone as i am?  (I)

We never thougth it could happen to us

Death stroke quickly just around the corner

In this summer I saw her

Leaving us so helpless

After the killers left

The worst that could happen

So let me ask you something :

 

Ref « Are you as alone as I am  ?

Do you hear the sounds of the gun?

Can you chase the ghosts from your head?

Do you see the world of tomorrow

There’s nothing to soften the blow

 

Are you as alone as I am ?

Waiting for the end of the storm

Can you feel the need of love

The fear of loss and my sorrow ?

 

Are you as alone as I am now ?

 

We never thougth we could watch this scene

The most violent image we have ever seen

In the summer

Around the corner

Leaving us so heartless

After the shooter’s death

It’s not the life that we had dreamed

So I wonder :

« Are you as alone as I am  ?

Do you hear the sounds of the gun?

Can you chase the ghosts from your head?

Do you see the men of tomorrow

They never let their feelings show

 

Are you as alone as I am ?

Waiting for the end of the storm

Do you feel the need of hope

To see the light behind the shadows

Are you as alone as i am now ?

 

Don’t give your heart to the sun  

Jane

I’ve met someone who’s  said to me

You took flight with your own wings

You left your family here

 

Tell me

I never saw this coming

When I heard the beating of your wings

You started a whole new life

 

Ref : Don’t give your heart to the sun

Don’t give your heart in your turn

I’ll follow you with angels

All stars are calling

Don’t give your heart to the sun

Don’t give your heart when it’s burning

All stars are calling

All stars are calling

 

Jane

There’s something I’ve been missing

Something without knowing

Something about you

Tell me

That I can take for granted

That life is not so unfair

Life is not so mean

 

Ref

 

Each night the moon whispers to me

Change is what you need

Change is a good thing

 

Promise me that

You will never forget me

I’m connected with you

Beyond those memories

Ref

 

Enough

To people who don’t say “thank you”

I say enough is enough!

You leave me without a “thank you”

I say enough is enough

 

When you loved me so deeply

I thought you stole my thoughts

That’s why I only gave my body

That’s why I saved my soul

I said enough

 

The people who pretend to protect you

I say enough is enough!

A car is running over you

I say enough is enough!

 

Ref

When you kissed me so deeply

I thought you stole my thoughts

That’s why I only gave my body

That’s why I saved my soul

I said enough

I said enough is enough

I said enough is enough

 

New man

I have no right to complain

To give up now

To blow my chance

So I won’t turn my back

Won’t go away

I’ll open my heart and say

 

Ref :

« Oh babe I’ll turn myself into a  new man

Close to the place of my childhood

I’ll put my life in your good hands

And  get off on the right foot

Spending time with my best friends

Always living my childhood

Always living my childhood

 

 

The past still lives in me

And I want you to imagine

To bring back all those memories

Of scary ghost stories

Elisabet*

Movie « Persona », I. BERGMAN, 1966

The woman :

« When you sleep

Your face is relaxed

Your mouth is swollen

And ugly

There’s a mean wrinkle

On your forehead

You smell of sleep and tears

I can see the pulse on your neck

It has a scar you normally cover

With make up »

 

The man :

« Elisabet !

Elisabet ! »

 

The woman :

« He is calling again

I’ll find out what he wants from us

Out there

Far away here

In our solitude »

 

The one

All my life I will be sorry

I wish you were in front of me

I have never told before

 

Standing here

In front of me

With your black dress

And little sleeves

I’ll tell you things i’ve never told before

 

Despite the fact that

I have gone blind

It’s not so hard to testify

Finally I know you are the one

 

Oh my love you took me by surprise

The more i live the more i die

You showed me things that

I have never seen before

 

I’m wondering if you are fine

I cross the fingers

Come rain or shine

Finally i know you are the one

 

I can’t deny

That I’ve gone blind

And if you don’t see it

I don’t mind

Finally i know you are the one

 

Despite the fact that

I’ve gone blind

It’s not so hard to testify

Finally I know you are the one

 

Wake up !

When I wake up

When I wake up

You wanna break up

You wanna break up

 

When I wake up

When I wake up

You wanna break up

And I’ve got to shut up

 

Birds are singing in my brain

And I don’t want to hear it anyway

 

When I wake up at five

In the middle of the night

I can’t remember my name

I told you again and again

 

When I wake up

When I wake up

You wanna make up

You wanna make up

When I wake up

It’s juste time to wake up

You wanna make up

And I’m only fed up

 

Kids are playing on the square

And I don’t want to hear it anyway

 

When I wake up at five

In the middle of my life

I call and call your name

I’ll call you again and again

I’ll call you again and again

I’ll call you again and again

 

A plane is crashing in the bay

And I don’t want to see it anyway

 

When I wake up at five

In the middle of the night

I call and call your name

I’ll call you again and again

I’ll call you again and again

I’ll call you again and again

 

Flying high

Neither life nor death

Can separate us

From those we loved

From those we hurt

It’s been a long time since we left

Now we are

Flying high

Flying high

 

Ref :

Flying high

When you cross the sky

Flying high

With a fire burning inside

That makes you feel happy and bright

Flying high

See your own light shine

 

We couldn’t have dreamed up

A better trip

Between the clouds

The sun

Is calling our spaceship

It’s been a long way

To get there

Oh Time just flies

 

Ref :

Flying high

In a starry sky

Flying high

When you’re  in love with someone

Someone who’s always on your mind

Flying

See your own light shine

 

Finally the dream came true

Jane is flying to the moon

She will be fine

Flying high

 

Ref :

Flying high

When you cross the sky

Flying high

With a fire burning inside

That makes you feel happy and bright

Flying high

See your own light shine

 

Bird’s-eye view

Look at the plane

Jane is in the plane

She’s travelling

Above the sea

So listen to me

Dont’ call her now

She is so far from ground

You can’t call her now

Caus’ she’s got her bird

She’s got her bird’s-eye view

Her bird

She’s got her bird’s-eye view

She’s gonna do what she wanna do

 

Look at the plane

People in the plane

They’re worrying

About her life

She’s afraid of dying

 

Dont’ call her now

She’s so far from ground

You can’t kiss her now

She’s got her bird

She’s got her bird’s-eye view

Her bird

She’s goth er bird’s-eye view

She’s gonna do what she wanna do

Flying high without you

Her bird

She’s got her bird’s-eye view

 

Herr  Vögler*

The man :

« Elisabet, Elisabet

I’m sorry if I frightened you »

The woman : « I am not Elisabet »

The man :

« I have no demands

I didn’t want to disturb you

Don’t you think I understand ?

The doctor has explained things

But it’s hard to explain to your little boy

I do the best I can

There’s something deep down,

Difficult to get a grip on

You love somebody,

Or say you do

It’s tangible like words

The woman :

« Her Vögler, i am not your wife

The man :

« You are also loved

You form a bond

It gives you security

A chance to endure,

doesn’t it ?

How can I say it all

Without losing myself

Without boring you ? »

 

Kill the old ghosts

The sea, the sea

Forever starting over

Is shining like a diamond

Sparkling at the sun

 

The waves are calling

Breaking through the silence

A moon will be coming

I won’t miss the moment

 

Ref :

Jane is gonna kill the old ghosts

See them falling into the sea

Chase the black clouds

See them falling into the sea

 

Staring at the endless horizon

I’d like to be burried here

Close to the ocean

Where I used to breathe

 

Ref

 

The wind is rising

I can’t avoid this trip

I’m seeking hope and peace

True sky, handsome heaven !

True sky, handsome heaven !
