LYRICS
BROKE IN BROOKLYN
1. Barbed Wire
(Music and lyrics by Artie Traum)
Oh this desert makes me homesick
Riding shotgun all the way
The open land just seems to stretch forever
Reaching to eternity
But I don’t like your wired fences
I don’t like you’re old watch-dogs
I don’t like the way you keep me out
With your dusty desert laws
Barbed wire, just a sin
Locks me out but also locks you in
Barbed wire, it hurts my pride
It hurts inside, so deep inside, oh, so deep inside
And the girl I loved in Denver
She loved me I in the heat of day
Loved me with her heart and all of her body
But she kept her soul away
Barbed wire, just a sin
Locks me out but also locks you in
Barbed wire, it hurts my pride
It hurts inside, so deep inside, oh, so deep inside
Some people keep you out with fences
Some people keep you out with words
Some people keep you out at any cost
Never knowing how it hurts
Barbed wire, just a sin
Locks me out but also locks you in
Barbed wire, it hurts my pride
It hurts inside, so deep inside, oh, so deep inside
so deep inside, oh, so deep inside
so deep inside, oh, so deep inside

2. You were there for me
(Music and lyrics by Peter Rowan)
When all my dreams were broken,
I was down on bended knees,
Through my pain I called your name,
You were there for me,
You were there for me.
I climbed the highest mountain,
I looked down in the deep blue sea,
The sky, it cries for love sweet love,
You were there for me,
You were there for me.
I will always love you,
No matter where you may be,
I'll be there for you, baby,
You were there for me,
You were there for me.
And I will always remember,
How you set me free,
With kindness and affection,
You were there for me,
You were there for me.

3. A second act in me
(Music and lyrics by Rune Hauge)
I’m young, on the run, sleepless in the night
Gotta get away, don't need another fight
North or south, don't matter anymore
Got a broken heart from those that I adore
I'm going away now, far away across the sea
Going away now, won't go down on my knees
I'm going away now, gonna find a second act in me
I’m a woman with child, just crossed the borderline
The one I love, in prison with no trial
Wanna give a good start for the little one
I'm one in a million who's always on the run
I'm going away now, far away across the sea
Going away now, won't go down on my knees
I'm going away now, gonna find a second act in me
I'm old here I stand, flowers in my hand
My love is gone, her name written in the sand
Memories so strong, I see pictures and I hear sounds
Like a never ending song that goes round and round and round
I'm going away now , far away across the sea
Going away now, won't go down on my knees
I'm going away now, gonna find a second act in me

4. Lost in the rain
(Music and lyrics by Kjersti Misje)
Lost in the rain like so many times before
Everything I do and everything I say
Leads me back to you
If you could go back to the time
Where one coincidence made you change your mind
If you could go back with a smile on your face
Remember where it all went wrong
Maybe I chose the wrong direction
Maybe I chose the right way to go
Nobody knows what’s in store
Nobody will ever know
Nobody will ever know
It’s raining and raining It’s raining
And I can't find the way back home
I’ve been searching for you, I’ve been searching
Won’t someone please tell me where to go
And what to do
Maybe I chose the wrong direction
Maybe I chose the right way to go
Nobody knows what’s in store
Nobody will ever know
Nobody will ever know

5. Life is a riddle
(Music and lyrics by Rune Hauge)
There were times I felt lost
Times I didn't talk too much
Grief and sorrow, didn't care about tomorrow
There were times I couldn't stand up straight
Times I was always too late
Anger and pain everything seemed in vain
Life is a riddle
Rough like a storm and soft like a fiddle
But we do what we do
Like the tide under the moon
The fiddler plays his tune
There were times I didn't feel love
Times I prayed to The Lord above
When we parted I was down, downhearted
There were times I felt too much
Times I was out of touch
Anger and pain everything seemed in vain
Life is a riddle
Rough like a storm and soft like a fiddle
But we do what we do
Like the tide under the moon
The fiddler plays his tune

6. Broke in Brooklyn
(Music and lyrics by Rune Hauge)
ATM 1, ATM 2
One more to go that’s all we can do
The Manhattan view is great from here
Though we don’t have money for the subway fare
I wanna go down to “Three Jolly Pigeons”
Shoot some pool and talk about the legends
ATM 1, ATM 2
I’m so down don’t know what to do
ATM 3, ATM 4
Give me some more
See Staten Island over there
Drinking my coffee on the pier
Morning time feels so right
Watch the seagulls take flight
Walking down 3’rd Avenue
Kind of chilly in the morning dew
Wound up in the “Three Jolly Pigeons”
Had a few drinks and talked about the legends
ATM 1, ATM 2
One more to go that’s all we can do
Brooklyn Bridge what a sight
Dancing in the Manhattan lights
Been a dream since I don’t know when
But here I’m broke in Brooklyn again
ATM 1, ATM 2
I’m so down don’t know what to do
ATM 3, ATM 4
Talk about the legends

7. High mountain
(Music and lyrics by Rune Hauge)
We can't hide our problems
Some day we'll have to face them
Like leaves under the snow they lay
There’ll be another season when the leaves
Will see the light of day
So here we go now there's still time
What's done can't be undone
Time passes and the moment is gone
High mountain, high mountain
This mountain might get tough to climb
We will make it one step at a time
Now we agreed to start again
Turn over a new leaf
Nobody lost, nobody won
Time passes and the moment is gone
High mountain, high mountain
This mountain might get tough to climb
We will make it one step at a time

8. Let it grow
(Music and lyrics by Rune Hauge)
I don't understand this feeling
And I don't even know your name
Something is happening inside me
It all just started when you came
A bird came in through my window
Stayed with me for a while
By the time it got my full attention
Left me with a broken smile
Something inside of me won't set me free
About to loose control
Can't stop it now, feel it grow
Let it grow, let it grow
Bird came in through my window
Stayed with me for a while
By the time it got my full attention
Left me with a broken smile
Something inside of me won't set me free
About to loose control
Can't stop it now, feel it grow
Let it grow, let it grow

9. Haywire
(Music and lyrics by Rune Hauge)
Don't know what you mean
You wanna bring it to a close
Don't know what you mean
You say our friendship froze
Don't know what you mean
With all this push and shove
Bringing me down on my knees
Is this love, oh love
I go haywire, haywire
Hold one’s own
Haywire, hang up the phone
Haywire, haywire trying to get by
Haywire, once bit twice shy
Don't know what's going on in your mind
But I know it's a bad sign
Too much talk about the ties that binds
Bringing me down on my knees
Is this love, oh love
I go haywire, haywire
Hold one's own
Haywire, hang up the phone
Haywire, haywire trying to get by
Haywire, once bit twice shy
I'm going away now hear the engine roar
You won't play fast and loose with me no more
No more fuzz and fight soon I'll be out of sight
Bringing me down on my knees
Is this love, oh sweet love
I go haywire, haywire
Hold one's own
Haywire, hang up the phone
Haywire, haywire trying to get by
Haywire, once bit twice shy

10. The Barflies
(Music and lyrics by Rune Hauge)
Evening has arrived the street lights are on
The barflies are in town
Same places, same faces
"Happy hour" is right on time
The musician arrives, all eyes are on him
Singing 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
Standing 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 morning light
I’ve been here much too long
Listening to the same old song

12. Blowin’ in the wind
(Music and lyrics by Bob Dylan)
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
How many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
How many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
How many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea
How many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free
How many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn't see
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

TIME TO TURN THE TIDE
1. Forever Young
(Music and Lyrics by Bob Dylan)
May God bless and keep you always, may your wishes all come true
May you always do for others and let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars and climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young
May you grow up to be righteous, may you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth and see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous, stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young
May your hands always be busy, may your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation when the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful, may your song always be sung
May you stay forever young

2. Time to Turn the Tide
(Music and lyrics by Rune Hauge)
A change is a coming birds way up high
Going south a long way to fly
See them waving goodbye
They will fly away like they’ve always done
A long, long way now they’re gone
‘Cause they know it’s time to turn the tide
They know it’s time to turn the tide
A change is a coming in the travellers’ eyes
They're gone before the early sunrise
They just go away no goodbyes
They’ll go away like they’ve always done
Just here, then they’re gone
‘Cause they know it’s time to turn the tide
They know it’s time to turn the tide
Train is a coming, coming ‘round the bend
We’ll be on board when the clock strikes ten
Oh, we know we gotta take that ride
Oh, we know it’s time to turn the tide
We will go away, hear that sound
Of that midnight train southbound
We know it’s time to catch that ride
We know it’s time to turn the tide
They will fly away like they’ve always done
A long, long way now they’re gone
‘Cause they know it’s time to turn the tide
They know it’s time to turn the tide

3. Wind of plenty
(Music and lyrics by Rune Hauge)
How could I know , out of the blue
How could I know, it would happen to you When I was lost, you brought me to safety You seemed so strong, like a “Wind of plenty”
Time goes by, oh, the memories
And wherever you are, I hope you find peace
If I ever done you wrong, please forgive me
You were always so strong, like a “Wind of plenty”
How could I know, out of the blue
How could I know it would happen to you
No matter where I go, over the hills or far at sea I can feel you near, like a “Wind of plenty”
How could I know, how could I know How could I know, how could I know

4. Lena Baker
(Music and lyrics by Rune Hauge)
It was a bad day in Georgia
the day they took Lena Baker's life
Mother of three kids, nobody's wife
In self defence shot Ernest Knight
It was back in '45
a good year for human kind
The war had ended
people dancing, drinking wine
But not for Lena Baker as they sat her in the chair
Soon to meet her Maker
shivering with fear
Day by day, trying to survive
Right or wrong, gotta stay alive
Just a woman
who didn't do anyone any harm
Made a big mistake,
went to Ernest Knight's farm
To earn a few dollars to make ends meet
Got beaten up from her head
down to her feet
This was a woman enslaved by a man
Took more beating than
anyone could understand
Went to trial judged by white men
in suits and ties
Whether she would live, live or die
Day by day, trying to survive
Right or wrong, gotta stay alive
It was a bad day in Georgia
the day they took Lena Baker's life
The judge and jury said: "what you say is not true You've done wrong, and therefore you must die"
It was back in '45
a good year for human kind
The war had ended
people dancing, drinking wine
But not for Lena Baker
as they sat her in the chair
Soon to meet her Maker,
shivering with fear
Day by day, trying to survive
Right or wrong, gotta stay alive
She's gone now, been gone for so long Took'em 60 years to tell right from wrong Pardoned for a crime she did not do
Hope she knows...
It’s the same old story I suppose

5. All la Glory
(Music and lyrics by Robbie Robertson)
I wanna hear pitter patter
Climb up your ladder now
It's time for you to dream away
For what a big day you've been through
You've done all the things
that you wanted to do
All la glory, I'm second story
Feel so tall like a prison wall
I'm looking for a star bright
To shine down your light now
And keep the little one safe and warm 'Cause to her it's just a fantasy
And to me it's all a mystery
All la glory, I'm second story
Feel so tall like a prison wall
And before the leaves all turn brown Before they fall to the ground
You will find the harmony
Wait and see
Listen to the serenade
Little girl, promenade now
You've got the sunshine in your hand
And maybe come some sweet day
You'll walk that Milky Way
All la glory, I'm second story
Feel so tall like a prison wall
And before the leaves all turn brown Before they fall to the ground
You will find the harmony
Wait and see

6. Modi
(Music and lyrics by Rune Hauge)
Song written about italian painter Modigliani.
Paintbrush, a palette of colours
Stories of a life on the wall
from a man who gave it all
on the canvas
in a corner of the bar,
a moment for all time
A memory for a dime.
Modi, it's your time now
You can rest in peace,
painted your masterpiece
Late night café, people of all kinds
He’ll paint your picture for a bottle of wine The last true Bohemian had to be free Dancing in the streets of old Paris
Crazy, oh, so crazy
Dancing in the night, ‘till the morning light
Modi, it's your time now
You can rest in peace,
painted your masterpiece
Late night café, drinking with his friends
Ain’t got nothing except his golden hands The last true Bohemian had to be free Dancing in the streets of old Paris
Paintbrush, a palette of colours
stories of a life on the wall,
from a man who gave it all
A moment for all time,
a memory for a dime
Modi, it's your time now
Rest in peace, painted your masterpiece

7. Kitty Cat
(Music and lyrics by Rune Hauge)
Kitty kitty cat, you take all of my time
I gotta go, or I won't make a dime
Kitty kitty cat, you take what you can get
How come I'm getting thinner
while you're getting fat
Kitty kitty cat, always on my tail
If I don't pay my bills I might end up in jail
Kitty kitty cat, through the night,
through the day
Won't leave me alone no matter what I say
You don't do nothing, you just lay inside the house Why don't you go outside and catch a mouse? Instead you just lie there, waiting to be fed
If I don't start working soon we'll both end up dead Kitty cat, I’m writing you this song
Stick around, I won't be long
Kitty kitty cat, you're my best friend
Is it real or do you just pretend?
Kitty kitty cat, in your eyes I see love
Will you stick around
when push comes to shove?
One of us gotta work to buy us some food Can't just hang around though I would if I could Too much of a chance,
I'm not like you
Don't have nine lives like you do
Kitty cat, I'm writing you this song
Stick around, I won't be long
Kitty kitty cat, this is oh so wrong
you better take to the woods
where you belong
gotta let you go, gotta be strong
take to the woods where you belong
That’s where you belong
Kitty kitty cat

8. No Man’s land
(Music and lyrics by Rune Hauge)
Lost my memory on the road,
lost the key to my soul
Lost things I shouldn’t have lost, nearly lost my trust
Started out empty pocket,
down that dusty old road
Thought I’d visit an old friend,
another one in no man’s land
No man’s land has no borders,
has no rules
Only dimes and quarters,
run down bars and motel rooms
Took the train to my hometown,
to see the old folks back home
Many years had passed,
didn’t take long before I had to roam
Travelling is my life,
on the move I feel alright
Crossing water and land,
from the sunny south
to the northern lights
No man’s land has no borders,
has no rules
Only dimes and quarters,
run down bars and motel rooms
I saw her in the morning light.
Long dark hair, eyes shining bright
Like a miner struck gold,
found the key to my soul
We met at a crossroad,
bagged up with a heavy load
Said I’d take her to the promised land,
far away from no man’s land
No man’s land has no borders,
has no rules
Only dimes and quarters, run down bars and motel rooms

9. Wayfaring stranger
(Traditional)
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While traveling through this world of woe
Hear there's no sickness, toil or danger In that bright land to which I go
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me Where God's redeemed their vigils keep
I'm going there to see my mama
She said she'll meet me when I come
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home

10. My father used to say
(Music and lyrics by Rune Hauge)
Some say I’m a fool, music will be my fall
They say I act too cool,
they don’t know me at all
They say I must change, time after time
They say that I’m strange
living on nickels and dimes
But I’ve been here before
and I know the score
My father used to say,
do it your own way
no matter what they say
A big man he was, had no fears
But I've seen him more than once,
melt into tears
I guess life was too hard,
you know life takes it's toll
Now I've had ups and downs
it's clearer to me now
‘Cause I’ve been here before
and I know the score
My father used to say,
do it your own way
no matter what they say
He travelled most of the time
from town to town
Worked hard for every dime
countryside up and down
He'd make you believe
while the sun set he said:
“Tomorrow you'll achieve,
on you I place all my bets”
Cause I’ve been here before
and I know the score
He passed away in the night,
no more miles on the road
This time he travelled light,
free from the heavy load
I remember the words you said back then
They’re in my heart ‘till we meet again

SWEETER THAN WINE
1. Just before Dawn
(Music and lyrics by Rune Hauge)
I know what you’re thinking is true
Know why you’re so down and blue
But I can’t carry you no more
Don’t have the strength to pick you up off the floor
When it’s dark enough - you can see the stars
Go to the gypsy and read the cards
Before you walk away and be gone
The darkest hour is just before dawn
Tears on your skin - some lose some win
That’s the way it goes - and the river flows
I know I shouldn’t have left you that day
Guess it would have happened anyway
Sorry we didn’t have more time
Broken wings mend in time
Tears on your skin - some lose some win
That’s the way it goes - and the river flows
When it’s dark enough - you can see the stars
Go to the gypsy and read the cards
Before you walk away and be gone
The darkest hour is just before dawn

2. Memory Lane
(Music and lyrics by Rune Hauge)
The morning sun will rise on the other side of town
Kids still have fun on the old playground
I’m walking alone, feel the smell, remember the sounds
Old familiar places have a story of their own
Some give me pleasure, some give me pain
Dreams fulfilled, some were just in vain
I’m on an old track tonight down memory lane
I meet someone I know, I stop and say hello
Changes all around, that’s the way it always goes
Some give me pleasure, some give me pain
Dreams fulfilled, some were just in vain
I’m on an old track tonight down memory lane
The sun is going down, I remember you and me
We were crazy way back then, sailing too close to the wind
It gave me pleasure, gave me pain
Dreams fulfilled, some were just insane
I’m on an old track tonight down memory lane

3. I´ll do anything to see you smile
(Music and lyrics by Rune Hauge)
A cloudy day in my old town
The rain keeps pouring down
If I could talk to you only for a while
I´ll do anything to see you smile
Your silence is driving me insane
Feels like my love for you is just in vain
If I could talk to you only for a while
I´ll do anything to see you smile
I wanna take you to the sea
One day just you and me
Walking in the sand - feel the wind blow
hand in hand - chasing rainbows
I´ll bring you flowers everyday
All the way ´till my dying day
If I could talk to you only for a while
I´ll do anything to see you smile
There´s nothing I wouldn´t do
to prove myself to you
If I could talk to you only for a while
I´ll do anything to see you smile
I wanna take you to the sea
One day just you and me
Walking in the sand - feel the wind blow
hand in hand - chasing rainbows
The night is falling. I wish you knew
No one can love you like I do
If I could talk to you only for a while
I´ll do anything to see you smile

4. Fallen on strange times
(Music and lyrics by Rune Hauge)
Fallen on strange times, me and you
Wherever you go, I´m going too
Sun rises and sets with you
Taking our time till morning dew
We dance the night away, till the break of day
Let the chips fall where they may
Fallen on strange times, me and you
Wherever you go, I´m going too
We´ve been here before
Far from home, by another shore
We let the days go by, under a clear blue sky
I´m so happy I could cry
Fallen on strange times, me and you
Wherever you go, I´m going too
Fallen on strange times, me and you
Wherever you go, I´m going too
Fallen on strange times
Fallen on strange times

5. Don´t ever make that right
(Music and lyrics by Rune Hauge)
You’re the good wife
who’s trying to make a good life
I know that you’re strong,
yet I feel there’s something wrong
Did he hurt you last night?
Don’t ever make that right
You’re a woman so fine,
life is tough - it’s a thin line
between right and what’s not
If you ain’t got love
then what have you got?
Did he hurt you last night?
Don’t ever make that right
Sunday’s comin’ down
and you ain’t around
People wonder where you are
Guess you don’t wanna show your scars Did he hurt you last night?
Don’t ever make that right I
hope there’ll be a day when you will say This won’t do anymore
and your boat will leave the shore
And you’ll find someone
who won’t do you no wrong
You’ll find someone
who won’t do you no wrong

6. All my life
(Music and lyrics by Rune Hauge)
All my life - since I was a boy
I wanna play music - feel the joy
Even now - when I´m grown
I want to play music - just hear that sound
When the lights go down
I got the best seat in town
Everybody goes with the flow
Brings back memories from long ago
All my life - since I was young
I wanna play music - oh so strong
Even now - when I´m grown
want to play music and get around
When the lights go down
I got the best seat in town
Everybody goes with the flow
Brings back memories from long ago
All our lives - since we were young
We play music - all night long
Even now as the days go by
We still play music - makes us fly
Now the lights are fading
The band is waiting
Time to go back on again
Do what we´ve done
since we don´t know when

7. Your island
(Music and lyrics by Rune Hauge)
When you can´t take anymore
wanna close the door
Your world comes to an end
and you need a helping hand
When there´s darkness all around
and a friend can´t be found.
Reach out and I´ll be there
Like a broken ship at sea
you´re down on your knees
the sea is rough and white
and you´re drifting through the night
At sunrise when you open your eyes Reach out and I´ll be there
I´ll be your island.
I´ll be a helping hand
A long lost friend.
When your worries hurt too much Slipping out - losing touch.
Reach out and I´ll be there
When times get rough
and living is tough
The colours fade away
can´t tell night from day
Walking in the rain.
Hide the tears - hide the pain
Reach out and I´ll be there
I´ll be your island.
I´ll be a helping hand
A long lost friend.
When your worries hurt too much Slipping out - losing touch.
Reach out and I´ll be there

8. The Last Duel
(Music and lyrics by Rune Hauge)
One August morning in the Scottish countryside, two men - one soon to die.
Two shots fired, one man went to jail.
This is the story of David Landale.
A story of a man who fought for his life
one early morn'
For six hundred years men had fought to their death as the sun rose in the early dawn
Dry your sweat, powder your gun.
Raise your head to the risin' sun.
Face to face, that's the rule. Story of the last duel.
George Morgan, a banker man he was
gave Landale a loan.
But long before payback time
he wanted every pound.
Because of this, Landale said:
"I will deal with you no more.
Tomorrow I will close my account"
and Morgan declared war.
Morgan, a former military man,
a bully, a hard case.
Stepped into the street as Landale passed by
and slapped him right in his face.
Though Landale never fought a duel in his life,
to town he did go.
In Prince's street he bought a gun,
and practised till the sun set low.
Dry your sweat, powder your gun.
Raise your head to the risin' sun.
Face to face, that's the rule. Story of the last duel.
The last night Landale told his friend John:
“It's my duty, I will not flee.
I'm a Christian, a respected man,
and a member of society”.
Landale rose at 6 am. Sunrise, night withdrawn.
One respected merchant, the other a military man, getting ready for pistols at dawn.
Dry your sweat, powder your gun.
Raise your head to the risin' sun.
Face to face, that's the rule. Story of the last duel.
Two men, one is gonna fall twelve paces apart.
As the smoke cleared Landale stood tall
Morgan was shot in the heart.
News of the duel, spread quite fast,
all the way to London town.
A warrant was put out for Landale's arrest
for jail he was bound
As he entered the courtroom the place was packed.
All awaiting what the judge would say,
he said: "not guilty, now leave the stand
and go home as a free man".
Dry your sweat, powder your gun.
Raise your head to the risin' sun.
Face to face, that's the rule. Story of the last duel.
This is the story of David Landale
forced to pick up a gun
to clear his good name at the risin' of the sun

9. Don´t leave now
(Music and lyrics by Rune Hauge)
Don’t leave now stay a while
I’ve been longing for your sweet, sweet smile
You’ve always been so good to me
Don’t leave now I need you, can’t you see
I was wrong, you were right
Why did we have that silly fight
You shine like stars above
You’re my one and only love
Hold on to the good days
Gotta find the best way
Won’t you smile for me baby and stay
Don’t leave, one more thing before you go
Don’t rush out, take it slow
The right words so hard to find
You’re in my heart and soul sweet love of mine
Hold on to the good days
Gotta find the best way
Won’t you smile for me baby and stay

10. Sweeter than wine
(Music and lyrics by Rune Hauge)
50 miles out in nowhere
50 miles out of town
Feels like I'm drawn there
To me it's holy ground
Today I'm going to this place by the sea
Watching the mountainside
from under the pine tree
Peace in my mind
Peace in my heart
Peace in my soul
Sweeter than wine
Watching the moon rising
clearer than I've ever seen
Like an outdoor movie
On the world biggest screen
Peace in my mind
Peace in my heart
Peace in my soul
Sweeter than wine
Today we're going my love and I
To this place out in nowhere under a starry sky Watching the moon rising
clearer than I've ever seen
Like an outdoor movie
on the worlds' biggest screen
Peace in my mind
Peace in my heart
Peace in my soul
Sweeter than wine
