An
open Book
v.
She
came with the bus a rainy day
She
hadn’t been here before
She
said that she would like to stay
for
a fortnight maybe more
With
her typewriter in a shabby case
she
came running through the rain
I
was supposed to close and leave
and
never come back again
Ref:
An
open book
In
the wedding suit
And
days and weeks went by
She
wrote a book
So
bittersweet
An
open book was I
v.
We
spent the days together
In
the evenings she closed the door
Every
morning she came down and read
what
she wrote the night before
She
must have seen right through me
Saw
the fugitive clerk
She
typed me down to pieces
The
boy, the man, the jerk
Ref:
v.
One
night she was lost for words
and
invited me to her room
The
wedding suit so obvious
like
acting bride and groom
Those
hours I was flying
A
brief lack of pain
She
thanked me for the inspiration
and I never saw her again
DELIVER
US TO LOVE
V1
Forced
to face the face of evil
I
see a big black hole
Emptiness
beyond compare
Almost
chaos in control
Poor
souls left with almost nothing
No
care to find at all
Search
for light in the shadows
Behind
a giant wall
Bridge:
Love
should be for everyone
Remember
not to forget
Nothing
isn’t nothing
When
it’s all you ever get
Ref:
Deliver
us to love
To
the harbour of humanity
Deliver
us to love
From
the darkness of insanity
Though
everything else is vanity
Deliver
us to love
V2
Well,
this might be a rough sketch
To
tell the day from the night
In
hope to get your attention
And
to set your focus right
You
can’t erase what’s missing
You
can’t remove a hole
Fill
it up with love and care
The
nourishment for a soul
Bridge:
Ref:
V3
Forced
to face the face of evil
Just
follow the golden rule
We
all have means to do it
Each
of us - a perfect tool
So
just stop a while and listen
Someone
might need your ear
A
spark lights in the shadow
And the darkness disappear
IN
YOUR HEAD
It’s
a full time job
Being
where you ought to be
Learning
to sit
Will
never set you free
The
fashion mob
Is
pulling up the pace
The
survival kit
So
you won’t lose your face
Bridge:
Hotel
lobbies
Basement
bars
Senseless
hobbies
Fancy
cars
There’s
a hiding place
Underneath
your face
Ref:
In
your head there’s an open door
Ring
the bell and flee the commotion
In
your head on the second floor
Experience
a wild slow motion
In
your head you can not ignore
The
only way and final solution
In
your head, now for evermore
Your
own successful revolution
It’s
an easy job
Being
where you want to be
Learning
to sit
On
satisfactions knee
The
fashion mob
Well,
it never was your case
The
revival kit
And
you are back in the race
Bridge:
City
lights
Plastic
ladies
Wrongs
and rights
Lot’s
of maybes
There’s
a hiding place
Underneath
your face

V1.
It’s
that old nasty feeling of uncertainty
In
a world that always asks for control
Can
I come to terms with my destiny
And
climb that slender thread to be whole
It’s
that tiny teasing piece of knowledge
You’ve
been there - pleading never again
You
know it’s always out there to get you
It’s
really just a question of when
Bridge:
Somewhere
down the road I was pushed out of balance
Now
I’m looking out for rocks on the road
Somewhere
down the road I learned the hard way
So
I do my best to carry the load
Ref:
Broken
to perfection
Need
to know where I’m going
Broken
to perfection
I’ve
learned to seize the day
Broken
to perfection
Feel
the winds – where they blowing
Broken
to perfection
That’s
why you see me sway
If
anything is perfect
It
was broken yesterday
What
goes down must always rise again.
Just
a little brighter than before
Come
what may we must all be Phoenix
Whatever
tomorrow has in store
But
I mind my steps to avoid the ashes
I’ve
been there – pleading never again
I
know it’s always out there to get me
But
I walk the sunny side until then

Somewhere

World
within a world
v.1.
I
told you in Vienna
In
London and Paris too.
In
Amsterdam you smiled and said:
Don’t
say it, what you do
That
cold day in Toronto
And
the hot night in L.A.
You
say - I can’t make up my mind
You
don’t hear what I say
Ref:
This
is the best place in the world
Can’t
you see it? Look around
It’s
a world within a world
A
paradise we’ve found
This
is the best place in the world
Can’t
you see it? Look around
It’s
a world within a world
This
is sacred ground
v.2.
Remember
us in Tokyo
When
the sun raised from the sea
Or
that crowded bus in Bangkok
Where
you first called us we
You
see it’s not geography
It’s
chemistry so true
Every
time I said it girl
I
was standing next to you.
Ref:

WARM
WINTER
V1.
In the
cold days of November
in a
bar at a ski hotel
I was
killing time doing nothing
as the
wind swept through the dell
My
candle flame was flickering
Felt a
touch of heat in the air
In a
haze I saw her enter
with
snow melting in her hair
Ref:
Warm
winter
She
kept the frost at bay
Warm
winter
She
blew the chill away
She
came with heat and light
In my
darkest night
The
warmest winter of my life
V2.
She
sealed my lips with a soft kiss
Told
me not to say a word
As the
moon climbed the winter skies
her
thoughts were all I heard
Running
down the road of rapture
We
both knew where it had to go
It’s
one of my warmest memories
That magic heat there in the snow
Upcoming
mystery – faded by noon
Everyone’s
there for the giant balloon
Old
mother earth has a story to tell
I
was reaching the answer but saved by the bell
Tolling
for danger hard to define
We
can’t see the vigil for the warning sign
Was
it something I read?
Or
something I saw
My
mode is obeying
the
old Newton’s law
I’m
just sitting here…
Waiting
for something bad not to happen.
Don’t
know what to fear…
Waiting
for something bad not to happen.
Future’s
not so clear…
Waiting
for something bad not to happen.
Just
sitting here…
Missing
the good that will happen.
The
past and present – mixed on the news
Good
guys and madmen are sharing their views
Dubious
profit by 9 o clock fools
Speak
about peace for the people who rules
Me,
I just don’t know who to believe
Jokers
crowd together in every ones sleeve
Gazing
through pictures
Can’t
see the light
Words
just a puzzle
There’s
no hope tonight
I’m
just sitting here…
Waiting
for something bad not to happen.
Don’t
know what to fear…
Waiting
for something bad not to happen.
Future’s
not so clear…
Waiting
for something bad not to happen.
Just
sitting here…
Missing the good that will happen.
RESTLESS
SWAN
V1.
She’s
got a way with words
That
makes me melt like ice
She’s
got a modest smile
Hidden
in her hungry eyes
She’s
got a secret touch
Sends
shivers down my spine
She’s
got a way to pled
Makes
me dress her to the nine
Bridge:
And
in her way to get away, she got away
Ref:
But
she’ll be back
As
sure as the dawn
She’ll
be back
I
keep a light on
Just
like it’s always been – I take her kiss and let her in.
Here’s
a nest for my restless wild swan
V2.
She’s
got a way to ask
Makes
me forgive it all
She
knows how to make up
And
she does it in the hall
She’s
got a way to see
Everything
(that) I need
She
knows how to make sure
That
my love is guaranteed
Bridge:
Ref:
V3.
She’s
got her way to have
some
of her funny ways
She’s
got a way to be
Sunshine
on my cloudy days
She’s
got a way to fly
My
little restless swan
She’s
got a way to say
No more drifting off and on
Migratory
Bird
V1.
As I
saw the morning frost
I knew
something was lost
And
the chill dawned up on me
I knew
I had to go
Her
eyes kept telling me so
The
pled to be set free
Ref:
Just
like a migratory bird
I had
to flee the cold
The
winter came so fast
And I
was never told
Can
someone tell me when the spring will come
Tell
me ’cause I’m longing home
V2
I’ve
crossed seas of sorrow
Yet
hoping, maybe tomorrow
The
spring will come at last
Far
away in distant lands
Caught
in agony’s hands
I
can’t escape the past
V3.
The
way it used to be
is
teasing my memory
But I
don’t know what to do
I hope
one day I will
Chase
away the chill
And make it home to you
LET
THE WINDS BLOW
v.
What
are you waiting for
hidden
in you trance
stop
acting like a bore
and
join in the dance
There’s
a good life waiting
if
you just set the sail
It’s
all in your creating
and
it’s yours to prevail
Bridge:
You
can’t be stuck here for the rest of your life
Ref:
Let
the winds blow
Let
the winds howl
Let
the winds bring it in
Let
the winds fill you up – and let it out
Let
the winds blow
Let
the winds howl
Let
the storm begin
Let
it show you what life is all about
v.
It’s
time to take the wheel
And
reach for something new
You’d
better think and feel
Don’t
stay stuck in the glue
You’re
blinded by routine
Life
is steaming ahead
There’s
so much left unseen
Don’t
end up left for dead
Bridge:
You
can’t be stuck here for the rest of your life
Ref:
Let
the winds…
v1/v2
as v3
There’s
a good life waiting
if
you just set the sail
It’s

You’re
blinded by routine
Life
is steaming ahead
There’s
so much left unseen
Don’t end up left for dead
Lakeside
meadows
V1.
Come
with me to the lakeside meadows
Away
from the city, beyond the wood
There
I have a boat among the reeds
The
air is clean and smells so good
Bridge:
The
meadows are the threshold
To
the lake my sanctuary
So
far from roaring cities
Out
in the glimmering scenery
Ref:
Lakeside
meadows
Where
the telling alders grow
Lakeside
meadows
Where
the sweet caressing winds blow
V2.
Come
out with me to the islands
And
see the gulls in the setting sun
Hear
the stem cut through the surface
In
harmony with the engines run
Bridge:
The
islands are my dreams
And
hope floating in liberty
So
far from roaring cities
Out
in the glimmering scenery
Ref:
Lakeside
meadows…
Stick:
Come
with me
If
you are lacking adventure
Come
with me
If
you’re depressed and feeling down
We
bale the boat and enjoy the treasures
Out
on the lake and the landscapes around
V3.
Come
with me and dive from the alders
We’ll
discover the neighbourhood
Late
at night we sleep by the fire
To
the soft sound of crackling wood
Bridge:
outro
There
is nothing like the silence
In
the peace around the lake
When
the mist lifts from the water
As the early morning breaks
GOOD
SPIN (just another ride)
V1.
Just
another ride on the planet
Starting
up with breakfast in bed
The
radio is playing her favourite
No
bad news in the paper she read
No
worries that she’s got to deal with
The
black clouds are so far away
Sun
is shining, she’s in a good mood
It’s
all promising a perfect day
Bridge:
It’s
one of those days you wish could last forever
Just
another ride…just another ride
Ref:
Good
spin
It’s
her private revolution
Everything
is going her way
Good
spin
It’s
a local evolution
Such
a very good spin today
It’s
just another ride…take another ride
V2.
She
jumps the bus for a ride downtown
Smiling
at the people she meet
Dancing
through the marketplace laughing
People
stop and stare on the street
Singing
as she enters the restaurant
Favourite
table crowded with friends
Hugging,
kissing, listening to gossip
Good
spin. Who knows where it ends
Carefree
lane is silent at midnight
Evening
sparkle lights up her mind
She
feels the earth move in its orbit
Everyday
is one of a kind
A
clue to give hope for tomorrow
The
future is open and wide
The
black clouds are now gone forever
She’s of for the ultimate ride
River Of Life
(till
denna finns ev. musik som vi kan anväda, eller så gör vi ny)
A
humble creak’s purling from mountains high
Swirling
just for fun
Jumping
and dancing – so crystal clear
A
glittering play with the sun
Taking
the bends and controlling the falls
Flees
the mother ice
White
water’s breaking – can’t stop it now
This
is the river of life – of our life…
Ref:
Seeing
the river
Seeing
our strive
This
is the river of life
Just
like the river
Surface
and dive
The
river’s a tale of our life
Deep
in the valley controlled by the banks
Current
pushing on
The
muddy wide river bound to its strive
Jumping
and dancing is gone – ooh it’s gone…
Ref:
Did
its time in hard machinery
Shared
some of its energy
Motivated
by this one dream
To
one day be set free
I
can see a moody river
Heading
for a destined sea so blue
Trying
hard to break the boundaries
Ploughing
deeper in the clay
Holding
on to vain illusions
Gather
rubble on its way
I
can see a moody river
Heading
for a destined sea so blue
See
the old river now reaching the sea
Carries
but one dream
Run
up the mountains to play crystal clear
But way too strong is the stream – ooh that stream…
