Lyrics

1. SWEDISH NIGHTS

For a fortnight she left home
To see the Scandinavian sky
She had a teenage dream
Of a certain handsome boy.

And her afternoon was lazy
On the border of the lake
She drove the people crazy
Both an angel and a snake.

[Chorus]
Don’t miss that day
You had dreamt of it too long
Swedish nights will make to you
Throw it away
Heartaches cannot be wrong

How could any other soul
Join in the gardens of her light
Though the gates had been so small
Though the hedgerow looked so tight.

More and more she seemed to wave
Upon the streams of phantasy
Daydreams led her to a place
Where she always wished to be.

[Chorus]

She lost every glance of doubt
When the midnight sun turned red
Felt the tension about
And the trance in her head.

Lay awake had lost a dream
But had found a brighter light
She knew to be herself a stream
In the Scandinavian night.

[Chorus]


2. THURSDAY

Thursday in the library
Was the first day of my love
The girl that I’ve been always waiting for
Came dancing through the floor.

Hello, she said, how are you?
‘Cause we’d met once before
But time had gone and years had past
And now we ask for more.

In those days of December
There was winter in my mind
I could hear and I could speak
But I felt deaf, dumb and blind.

Now in times when my house is cold
She’s there to warm my bed
And I feel her kiss upon my face
And her touch upon my head.


3. THE SUNDANCE OF THE HAUTE PROVENCE

Now the time is gone which should be sunny and free
Not quiet spontaneous but though was meant to be
With glissando on secret ways
For delivering advance

The eastern winds wore lark’s songs
Sharp like splittering glass
The smell of sage and sassafras
Sunbating on a plateau in the Haute Provence

There where stormy showers
For perish in persecutions
And headless thoughts for one-way solutions
Two sailors lay around their fire
Waiting for the dawn’s dance

They sung the sundance of the Haute Provence
I threw my sympathy upon their pyre
The smell of sage and sassafras
Sunbating on a plateau in the Haute Provence


4. Moria

(Chorus)
Our journey was long
To the gates of Moria
We followed the song
We’ve been taught in golden past
“No one can last in Moria!”

We got the key
To the gates of Moria
Step up and see there’s
No other way for you
It’s leading through Moria

Gold never found
In the ways of Moria
Shimmering ground
Sings the demon’s symphony
I had to see that Moria

But we lost a friend
In the throats of Moria
Prayed for the end
Of that journey we had made
But it’s too late in Moria.

(Chorus)

Gold on the ground
That’s the way of Moria
Terrible sound
We had to flee from Moria.


5. ENLIGHTMENT

In the twilight of the neon days
Night’s loosing it’s secret face
And the hope of coming home is shrouded with distrust
Shrouded with distrust
The disguise of love is hidden
In a sea of dust
And restitution is needless.

The grey pulp of the void
Sells you being paranoid
Your Shallow ego sweeps in rusty convenience
And your given free-play
To your childhood dreams
The man beside you is difficult

You’ve been bred for humanity
And you’ve been sold to society
Burning candles at both ends balancing your views
Lies are waiting to begin
Carry on ‘til they are truth
‘Cause everybody has to be the same


6. SUPERMAN

Another day like Superman
You know there’s no one else like me
All I need is what I am
Will never f eel dependency

Who cared ‘bout me when I went wrong
Did anybody take me hand?
Up and away my arms are strong
If I don’t want to I won’t end

Must be the sign of changing time
Don’t need no heart except of mine


7. ANOTHER DAY LIKE SUPERMAN

But all the nights we feel as one
Our dreams are deep and sweet caress
Then my sorrows are all gone
And all my fright is meaningless

(Chorus)
Must be the sign of changing time
To fill my days with joy
Don’t need no heart except of mine
I step aside and fly

Think you were born a certain truth
Expression of a unity
Can’t never split can’t never loose
Your secret of community

(Chorus)

Must be the sign of changing time
To fill my days with joy
Don’t need no heart except of mine
I step aside and fly
Must be the sign of final time
Only together free
No single brain can break the chain
So stay with me
And be

The holy dialogue of all
Between our blood and our hands
Must be the all-containing call
For making love and searching friends


8. AZIMUTH

(Instrumental)


9. BETWEEN THE ROOMS

Trying to describe it all
Is like talking ‘bout a flame
Is like listening to the light
Oh, yes it burnt us, nearly made us blind.
But we can’t show you anything
You can only try to feel.
