Silje Nergaard Album

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 is not lonely or broken
It's not of ice or of gold
Nor has my heart ever spoken
To me when a love has grown cold
I felt not the faintest flatter
When you brushed my cheek as you passed
Nor will I willingly clutter
My life with these thing that don't last

(chorus)
Be still my heart
My heart be still
Be still my heart
My heart be still

If our eyes should meet then so be it
No need to trouble the heart
That is hidden where no one can free it
Only to tear it apart

(chorus)
Be still my heart (my heart be still)
My heart be still
Be still my heart
My heart be still

Beware, beware
(be still my heart)
to care, to care
(be still my heart)
beware, beware
(be still my heart )
to care, to care
(my heart be still)
beware, beware
(be still my heart)
My heart

Be still my heart
My heart be still
Be still my heart (my heart)
My heart be still
Be still my heart
My heart be still

My heart
Be still

My heart
Be still

Let there be you
Let there be me
Let there be oysters
Under the sea

Let there be wind,
And occasional rain
Chili con carne
Sparkling champagne

Let there be birds
That sing in the trees,
Someone to bless me
Whenever I sneeze

Let there be cuckoos,
A lark and a 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
Nobody can deny
That sorrow must find its 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

Far away, far away

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 goodnight

Here we are, in a 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?
Father didn't like you at all
Do you remember the reason why we married in the fall?
To get a little rest, to get this little nest

Here we are just about the same
Foggy little fella, drowsy little dame
Two sleepy people by dawn's early light
And too much in love to say goodnight

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

Where has my love gone?
How can I go on?
It seems dear love has gone away
Where is my spirit?
I'm nowhere near it
Oh yes, my love has gone astray

But I'll blame it on the sun
The sun that didn't shine
I blame it on the wind and the trees
I'll blame it on the time
That never was enough
I'll blame it on the tide and the sea
But my heart blames it on me

Who poured the love out?
What made this bitter doubt?
Is peace not here for me to see?
Wish I could tell you what I am feelin'
But words won't come for me to speak

But I will blame it on the sun, that didn't fill the sky
I'll blame it on the birds and the trees
I'll blame it on the day, that ended once too soon
I'll blame it on the nights that could not be
I'll blame it on the sun, the sun that didn't shine
I'll blame it on the wind and the trees
I'll blame it on the time, that never was enough
I'll blame it on the tide and the sea.
But my heart blames it on me

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 count 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

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 heart close to breaking
We stand in the wake as you glide from our reach
Calmed by the thought that the voyage your 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 black of the night
But no ocean can keep you, no darkness can hide you
Away from our love and its undying light
