Taxi
Lost on the high seas
Lyrics/Music: Rune Hauge
I'm sittin here with a sig and a coke
watcin' all the people disappear like smoke
Dirty streets - got no money
I gotta follow the beat - sure ain't funny
feels like I'm lost on the high seas
Woke up this morning and you were gone
no surprise it's been coming for so long
Dirty streets - got no money
I gotta follow the beat - sure ain't funny
feels like I'm lost on the high seas
Think about all the good times we had
I can't believe that this love has gone dead
Why did we throw it all away
how could we throw it all away
Go downtown and mingle with the crowd
can't talk cuz the music's much too loud
Dirty streets - got no money
I gotta follow the beat - sure ain't funny
feels like I'm lost on the high seas
Taxi
Lyrics/Music: Rune Hauge
Another party is over
empty glasses - bottles on the floor
Tomorrow's another hangover
I see the hat she left by the door
Candle's burnin' out
ashes on my table top
A dog barks - a man shouts
Wonder if they made it
did they get a taxi - taxi...
Another party is over
The streets are empty it's nearly dawn
I'm playing the same song over and over
It's kinda quiet here now that everybody's gone
Candle's burnin' out
ashes on my table top
A dog barks - a man shouts
Wonder if they made it
did they get a taxi - taxi...
When the well is dry
Lyrics/Music: Rune Hauge
Never thought it would turn out this way
there's really nothing left to say
Oh these walls closing in on me
The sun comes up and the sun goes down
I'm on my way don't know where I'm bound
Oh these walls closing in on me
Can't burn a candle without a fire
don't know what you're able to do
before you've tried
When you climb the highest mountain
you can't get any higher
Can't get water when the well is dry
Don't think I ever felt so sad
Oh these walls closing in on me
Can't burn a candle without a fire
don't know what you're able to do
before you've tried
When you climb the highest mountain
you can't get any higher
Can't get water when the well is dry
The sun comes up and the sun goes down
I'm on my way don't know where I'm bound
Oh these walls closing in on me
Can't burn a candle without a fire
don't know what you're able to do
before you've tried
When you climb the highest mountain
you can't get any higher
Can't get water when the well is dry
New blood in town
Lyrics/Music: Rune Hauge
He came to town in the middle of summertime
It's been a long way
lots of stories on his mind
He came to this place nobody hangin' round
He'd say: "let me play lots of people gonna stay"
Watch out, new blood in town
The owner said:" if you make the place work fine,
you gonna be rich son not a thing gonna change my mind"
So he worked all day and he worked all night long
Everybody came to hear his song
Watch out, new blood in town
As time went by lots of money comin' in
He was the best, the best that had ever been
some weren't happy
in dark corners they stood
Out to break him down
I just new that they would
Watch out, new blood in town
Hey watch out where you goin' my friend
The street is dark
Somebody might be waitin' at the end
Watch out
The winter came with frost and snow
it was in the air bad feelings would grow
I went away but rumors caught me at my place
Sayin' there's another one
a new one on the stage
Watch out, new blood about to leave this town
He's gone today he just vanished away
cuz what went down noone will say
No total innocent some he did abuse
But for what they did there just ain't no excuse
Watch out, new blood just left this town
Throw him out
we don't need him to stay
Cut him loose
let him drift away
The bridge
Lyrics/Music: Rune Hauge
Have you ever had the feelin'
standin' on top of a bridge
lookin' down to the river flowin'
and like that water rollin'
and the clouds a driftin'
you wanna go - you wanna go
Lately I've had this feelin'
in this heart of mine
been a long way
I've crossed many lines
and I know that urge for goin'
as it comes to me
just gotta go - just gotta go
When the sun climbs over
the edge of this earth
I'm on my way
Why I go I don't know
Like a leaf when the wind blows
but I'll be back again
I don't know how - I don't know when
Until then so long my friend
Ain't got you
Lyrics/Music: Rune Hauge
I've got food to ease my hunger
got the clothes I need when the weather gets cold
I've got friends to take me
through good and bad times
But I ain't got you - no
Got the music I need when the night gets to long
places to go and hear a good ol' song
I've got enough money to take me down the line
But I ain't got you - no
I've got eyes to see the sun come and go
See the mountains and the river flow
I've got ears to hear the thunder, laughter and pain
But I can't hear you - no
The Barflies
Lyrics/Music: Rune Hauge
Evening has arrived the street lights are on
The barflies are in town
Same faces - same places
"Happy hour" right on time
The musician arrives
everybodys eyes are on him
singin' songs about the places that he's been
One about the time
he almost took the fall
and one about the one
he misses most of all
Sad faces - empty eyes
standin' in the dark
stay out of sight
Sad faces with all their traces
Welcome to the house of broken dreams
Gotta leave here tonight
before the mornin' light
Been here much too long
listen to the same old song
Now the moon is shining bright
leavin' now would be so right
Time will tell
Lyrics/Music: Rune Hauge
Warm hands you laid in mine
being close to me
And the love you showed
took away my load
I still need you
Time goes by and changes come
One thing I will say
They say wounds will heal
but that's not what I feel
I still need you
Time will tell
I loved you well
Blindin' spot
Lyrics/Music: Rune Hauge
I can talk to stones, make a tree sing
Fly high and low on my new wings
There's only one problem I got
I can't sleep you're there all of the time
Like a blindin' spot
When you talk it's like music to my ears
When we're together you take away the fears
but could you help me with this problem I got
I can't sleep you're there all of the time
Like a blindin' spot
If you ever need me just call on me babe
I'd pick you up if you ever fall
That's not all - that's not all
Now blindin' spot
I give my best ticket to you
And my thoughts
well you can have them to
But could you help me with this problem I got
I can't sleep you're there all of the time
Like a blindin' spot
This is nature
Lyrics/Music: Rune Hauge
This is nature
it takes a great part of my love
strong and beautiful
I see a picture
trees and grass on every side
You and me just runnin' wild
late night parties singin' "don't think twice"
Singin' , dancin' till the sunrise
You're a woman
you take the main part of my love
strong and beautiful
A love like this keeps you on the line
every word and every move could be a sign
