Hold me tight, this is a lonely night
and i’ve hurt you babe, ’cause you’re my light
Make me strong, just like you make me weak
and your hands reach out for me
even in your sleep

I’ll soon be gone now
Forever not yours
It won’t be long now
Forever not yours

Memories they keep coming through
The good ones hurt more than the bad ones do
The days were hot, and the nights were deep
And I miss you, babe
I miss you, babe

I’ll soon be gone now
Forever not yours
It won’t be long now
Forever not yours

I’ll soon be gone now

It won’t be long now
Forever not
Forever not yours

I’ll soon be gone now
Forever not yours
It won’t be long now
Forever not yours
I’ll soon be gone now
Forever not yours
It won’t be long now
Forever not yours

Heaven’s not for saints
You only have one cup
Now you’ve filled it up
Let it go, babe – just let it go

Dimlit path ahead
The road is wide
But your eyes are red
Let it go, babe – just let it go

Child, my brother
My brother look around you
The night is calling you
Close to the edge
Who knows the distance
The distance when light fades away

The river knows the way
The father is your son
Life has just begun
Let it go, babe – just let it go

Child, my brother
My brother look around you
The night is calling you
Close to the edge
Who knows the distance
The distance when light fades away

Just let it go…
…’cos heaven’s not for saints

Please don’t hurt me
I have told you
All my love is all i’ve got
And tomorrow is the day
When I for your sake
I’m coming back

And you tell me
That i don’t love you

I’m trying hard to make you jealous
Trying harder to make you stay
Days are longer
Night are crazy
It’s so strange when you’re away

And you tell me
That i don’t love you
Please
Let me come to you
And stay this time

And you tell me
That i don’t love you
Oh you know
That it’s just not true

Hurry home
Freight train running
I’ve been gone
Too long, honey
Why did I waste away
The only good thing left to save me

Hurry home
Freight train running
She’s alone
Got no money
(She’s alone…she got no money
Coming home, I’ve done my running)
Coming home
No more running
Why now should I deny
The only true thing left inside me
Coming home
No more running

I’m doing right
For once in my life now
I’m doing right
For once in my life now
No more running…
(He’s doing right!)

(Rolling countries… fields unfolding
I swear the winds are calling)

So I hurry home
No more running
She’s all alone
She got no money
(She’s alone…she got no money
coming home, I’ve done my running)
Why should I go and hide
The only true thing left inside me
Hurry home
Freight train running

We got married on a cold mid-winter’s morning
We said our lines
Then kissed
And it was over

Those pronouncements had such weight
I guess they made us hesitate
Hesitate

When she moved her hips
And swayed in my direction
I thought we could make it yet
And beat the isolation

But in that gentle dark
Man, we tore ourselves apart

Through fire and rain
Through wilderness and pain
Through the losses, through the gains
On love’s roller coaster train
I call your name

…We used to laugh
Is the fire dying, babe
It hurts to ask

Let me hold you for awhile.

To hold me closer or set me free
To trust completely or let it be
You don’t know my destiny
You can’t see what I can see

Hey – I wish I cared
Hey – I wish I cared

To love me truely or let me go
Inbetween I don’t want to know
This is how it has to be
No more us and no more we

Hey – I wish I cared
Hey – I wish I cared

Once again, on the station
See your face in a crowd
Comes again the sensation
You can’t hear yourself think
With their voices inside your head

Hey – I wish I cared
Hey – I wish I cared
I wish I cared
Yes I really do
I wish I cared
(Hey) I wish I cared
Yes I really do
I wish I cared
(Hey) I wish I cared
I wish I cared
(Hey)

I won’t forget her
She was once my love

When I hold you in my arms
Oh yeah
You know I’ll let you come to no harm
Oh yeah

But if one day
Much like today
You stop and wonder what I’d prefer
Well, you know I won’t forget her

I won’t forget her
She was once my love

Did you see it in my eyes
Oh yeah
Did it make you realise
Oh yeah

That one day
Much like today
My mind would wonder
If she’s still there

Cause you know I won’t forget her

I won’t forget her
She was once my love

When I hold you in my arms
Oh yeah
She was once my love

I won’t forget her
She was once my love

It wasn’t the rain that washed away…
Rinsed out the colours of your eyes
Putting the gun down on the bedside table
I must have realized

It wasn’t the rain
That made no difference
And I could have sworn it wasn’t me
Yet I did it all so coldly
…almost slowly
Plain for all to see

Oh c’mon please now
Talk to me
Tell me; things I could find helpful
How can I stop now…
Is there nothing I can do
I have lost my way
I’ve been losing you

I can still hear our screams competing
You’re hissing your s’s like a snake
Now in the mirror stands
Half a man
I thought no one could break

It wasn’t the rain
That made no difference
…nervously drumming on:Run away
But I want the guilt to get me
Thoughts to wreck me
Preying on my mind

So, please now
Talk to me
Tell me; things I could find helpful
For how can I stop now…
Is there nothing I can do
I have lost my way
I’ve been losing you

A-Ha
Lifelines

One time to know that it’s real
One time to know how it feels
That’s all
One call – your voice on the phone
One place – a moment alone
That’s all

What do you see?
What do you know?
What are the signs?
What do I do?
Just follow your lifelines through
What do you hate?
What do I do?
What do you say?
Don’t throw your lifelines away
Don’t throw your lifelines away

One time – just once in my life
One time- to know it can happen twice
One shot of a clear blue sky
One look – I see no reasons why you can’t
One chance to be back
To the point where everything starts
Once chance to keep it together
Things fall apart
Once I make us believe it’s true

What do we see?
Where do we go?
What are the signs?
How do we grow?
By letting your lifelines show
What if we do? What up to now?
What do you say?
How do I know?
Don’t let your lifeline go
Don’t let your lifeline go
Don’t let your lifeline go

One time to know that it’s real
One time to know how it feels
That’s all
One call – your voice on the phone
One place – a moment alone
That’s all

What do you see?
What do you know?
What sign?
What do I do?
Just follow your lifeline through
What if you hate?
Watch youre back
What do we do?
What do you say?
Don’t throw your lifeline away

Don’t throw your lifeline away

One time – just once in my life
Yeah – One time – to know it can happen twice
One shot of a clear blue sky
One look – I see no reasons why you can’t
One chance to be back
To the point where everything starts
Once chance to keep it together
Things fall apart
Once sign to make us believe it’s true

What do you see?
Where do we go?
What sign?
How do we grow?
By letting your lifeline show
What if we do? What up to now?
What do you say?
How do I know?
Don’t let your lifeline go

Don’t let your lifeline go

Don’t let your lifeline go
