Silje Nergaard - At First Light (2002) by Silje Nergaard (보컬) on maniadb.com

Never been one for devil-may-care
Painting the town or letting down hair
Oh so wary of building on dreams
Afraid to discover all's not what it seems

There's always a first time
How do I know for sure
Now it's not mine
Tell me how I know
It's safe to just let go
Show me some sign

There's always a first time
How do I know that you are the right one
Show me how to loose
These nagging doubts and choose, not run

Let me then awake to find
I've left all caution far behind in the past
Let my heart be fit to burst
With a longing unrehearsed
Let it last

There's always a first time
Let it be now, and you
Be that someone
Who can help me leave
In the hands of fate
What we've begun

My heart's not lonely or broken
Is not of ice or gold
Nor has my heart ever spoken
To me when a love has grown coldI felt not has faintest flutter
When you brushed my cheek as you passed
Nor will i willingly clutter
My life with these things that don't lastBe still my heart
My heart be stillIf our eyes shoud meet then so- be-it
No need to trouble a heart that's hidden
Where no-one can free it
Only to tear it apartBe still my heart
My heart be stillBeware, beware, beware
Take care, take careBe still my heart
My heart be still

Let there be you.
Let there be me.
Let there be oysters under the sea.
Let there be wind,
an occasional rain.
Chile con Carne,
sparkling champagne.
Let there be birds
to sing in the trees.
Someone to bless me
whenever I sneeze.

Let there be googoos,
a lot of dove.
But first of all, please,
let there be love.

Oh love
Oh Woo
Let there be love~
Let there be love.

Let there be birds
to sing in the trees.
Someone to bless me
whenever I sneeze.

Let there be googoos,
a lot of dove.
But first of all, please,
let there be love.

Oh love
Oh ~
Let there be love
Let there be love.

It's as plain as the nose on your face
Nowbody can deny
That sorrow must find it's rigthful place
But why am I so sorry for your love

I could write you a book on regret
None of it would apply
The answers would all be there and yet
Not why I am so sorry for your love

I need hardly mention
The very best intentions
Pave the road to you know where
Downhill from the start
It would grieve my caring heart
To know that it has sown despair

I would give my whole world to return
Be at the start knowing why
It had to end this way
And maybe learn day by day
Just why I am so sorry for your love

I need hardly mention
The very best intentions
Pave the road to you know where
Downhill from the start
It would grieve my caring heart
To know that it has sown despair

I would give my whole world to return
Be at the start knowing why
It had to end this way
And maybe learn day by day
Just why I am so sorry for your love

Now and then behind the rows
Of pearly teeth and fashion clothes
She sees them in the mirror-tiles
Trying on their latest smiles
Light and warmth from spotlight beams
Convincing them their nightmare is a dream

Now and then when they're at rest
Flocked in sleep in cuckoos' nests
Feeling safe no need to hide
She opens doors and windows wide
And poised upon her painted claws
She stretches out her gaudy wings and soars

Far away
Borne by the wind
She roams the sky
No one to say ... too low ... to high
Or count the lonely miles that she has flown
This world is hers alone

But then again behind the rows
She feels the piercing looks of those
Who watch her every move in case
She happens to forget her place
Who sum her up ... deny her flight
Aim their words and shoot her down on sight

Far away
Borne by the wind
She roams the sky
No one to stay ... too low ... too high
Or count the lonely miles that she has flown
This world is hers alone

(guitar solo)

Far away
Borne by the wind
She roams the sky
No one to stay ... too low ... too high
Or count the lonely miles.....

Far away
Borne by the wind
She roams the sky
No one to say ... too low ... too high
Or count the lonely miles that she has flown
This world is hers alone

Here we are, out of cigarettes
Holding hands and yawning
Look how late it gets.
Two Sleepy People
By dawn's early light,
And too much in love
To say, 'Good night.'
Here we are, in the cozy chair
Pickin' on a wishbone
From the Frigidaire,
Two Sleepy People
With nothing to say,
And too much in love to break away.
Do you remember
The nights we used to linger in the hall?
Your father didn't like me at all.
Do you remember
The reason why we married in the fall?
To rent this little nest
And get a bit of rest, well.
Here we are
Just about the same
Foggy little fella,
Drowsy little dame.
Two Sleepy People
With nothing to say
And too much in love to break away.

By dawn's early light,
And too much in love
To say, 'Good night.'

I keep on backing losers
The beggars not the choosers
I keep on backing losers
The beggars not the choosers

How come they always find me
Then turn my head and blind me
With tales of how they need to start anew
They feed but never feed me
I just cater for the needy
Tending broken hearts is what i do

I keep on backing losers
The beggars not the choosers
But I'm no longer buying
The sobbing and the sighing

I'm through with playing sister
Of mercy to the Misters
Who tell me that they're so misunderstood
And that being with me is giving
Them the strength to go on living
And that I alone can make them feel so good

I keep on backing losers
The beggars not the choosers
But I'm no longer buying
The sobbing and the sighing

Years
Of stroking heads and drying tears
Of being there to calm their fears
I've had enough I'm steering clear, clear, clear

Long before I opened up my eyes
I felt a heavy day was coming on
There outside my window leaden skies
Fill the space where once the sun had shone
The wind is howling though it's just a breeze
Bending me and all that's in its way
It breaks my will and brings me to my knees
Tells me I can't take another day

You're out of sight, not out of mind
Survived the night only to find
You're out of sight, not out of mind
You helped me see then robbed me blind

The summer's day now brings me winter's frost
The seasons are all one and time stands still
I search for something that has not been lost
To help me climb this neverending hill
I wander through a landscape cold and bare
Where all that I once knew had turned to stone
There is no living thing to hold me there
No voice to tell me I'm not alone

You're out of sight, not out of mind
Survived the night only to find
You're out of sight, not out of mind
You helped me see then robbed me blind

There's trouble brewing
Leave what you're doing and
Step out of line
No point in keeping
Watch if you're sleeping
Half of the time
Check out the crummy lines you've been saying
You're not in some second-rate soap

There's trouble brewing
Leave what you're doing and
It just might pay
There's no denying
Always complying
Isn't the way
Ditch all the empty games you've been playing

Ain't life a ball
You came for the ride
And end up just learning to crawl

Slipping and sliding
Is better than hiding
Heads deep in sand
Cut out the sighing
See what you're buying
It's in your hands
Think of the bitter price you keep paying

Ain't life a ball
You came for the ride
And end up just learning to crawl

There's trouble brewing
Leave what you're doing and
It just might pay
There's no denying
Always complying
Isn't the way
Ditch all the empty games you've been playing

Ain't life a ball
You came for the ride
Ain't life a ball
You came for the ride
And end up just learning to crawl

Can't cound the hours, blame the miles,
and say they keep me from your smile.
For you are here, no oceans lie,
between my lover's arms and I.
I see your smile, but where are you?
Why won't you dare to need me too?
I would bring you joy to light the way.
A ray of sun to thaw your days.
Please let me through.
I don't ask much, but the slightest touch, of Japanese Blue.
I beg of you.
My life is such, it needs a touch, of Japanese Blue.
I see that life has taken toll.
Your shattered dreams I can't make whole.
But let me through and I will stay.
Close by your side to comfort you.
Please let me through.
I don't ask much, but the slightest touch, of Japanese Blue.
I beg of you.
My life is such, it needs a touch, of Japanese Blue.

Lullaby To Erle
by Silje Nergaard


Mothers have woven a black velvet ocean
and spread it between the night and day shores
so that children might sleep, gently rocked by the motion
of waves beneath boats built by fathers like yours

With you safe aboard by the shore we will linger
and watch as your breathing it fills up the sail
you loosen the moorings....your grip on our finger
and leave on the velvet a silvery trail

Alone on the shore with our hearts close to breaking
we stand in the wake as you glide from our reach
calmed by the thought that the voyage you're taking
will bring you at dawning back safe to this beach

We cannot sail with you, be there to guide you
or pilot your boat through the dark of the night
but no ocean cap keep you, no darkness can hide you
away from our love and its undying light.
