My Inner Life

This new world can’t touch my inner life

 

This new life holds screaming cities

All this noise and electronic music

Makes me not being able to hear my inner voice

 

My inner life has air and colours of red, green and blue

Nothing like the concrete underground of my outer life

My outer life

 

And music, my music is like a trembling, pounding wire

out from my inner life

 

This new world is lacking time, time is the new currency

And I feel old and old-fashioned, and slightly out of breath

This new life holds screaming people, feeling chic and looking sick

And this new world can’t touch my inner life

I keep it close by the heart, my inner life

 

And music, my music is like a trembling, pounding wire

out from my inner life.

 

I keep it close by the heart, my inner life

 

Hellride

I was riding through the night, I was trying to get to you       

Yeah this time I will return for the sake of all that we’ve been through

I drove fast and it was late, the fog was thick but I couldn’t wait 

I knew I was bound to get there or you’d be lost for good  

 

Hellride, through the night  

I was praying that I’d get there and that I’d be understood 

Hellride, all through the night

I’ve crossed that line and I know that there is no way back 

It’s a hellride

 

I was riding through the night, I was trying to get to you

Although nature had a thought or two against letting me through

And I cursed the sky above and I cursed the ground beneath

Though I knew it wouldn’t clear the way or make you still be there

 

Hellride, through the night

I was praying that I’d get there and that I’d be understood

Hellride, all through the night

I’ve crossed that line and I know that there is no way back

It’s a hellride

 

Please forgive me, for being so hard 

And forgive me, for being too weak 

I’m sorry I broke a promise 

And I’m sorry I’ve torn your trust

 

And so I’m riding through the night, I am trying to get to you

I hope that you will take me back for the sake of all that we’ve been through

That you’ll forgive and you’ll forget, that you’ll be strong for me instead

And I will never have to ride through ghostly nights again

 

Hellride, through the night

I was praying that I’d get there and that I’d be understood

Hellride, all through the night

I’ve crossed that line and I know that there is no way back

It’s a hellride, hellride

 

Quiet/Peace (Frida’s Song)

Was it really honestly supposed to be this hard?

I always thought that I was weak

Now I know that I’m not

The struggles of these past few years,

Within me it feels like a barrel of tears

And a heart that is turning black

Was it really honestly supposed to be this hard?

 

Was it really honestly supposed to take this long?

I’ve been tried so many times,

I don’t need no more proof that I’m strong

I always thought that karma worked like a charm

If that was so then I would be lying in your arms

Was it really honestly supposed to take this long?

 

The struggles of these past few years,

Within me it feels like a barrel of tears

And a heart that is turning black

Was it really honestly supposed to be this hard?

 

Changes

Gone are the ways I’ve left behind

Gone are the ways that used to be mine

It’s time, it’s about time

 

Gone are the songs I used to hear

I thought I’d mind but I don’t care

It’s time, it’s about that time

 

I welcome you

In good times and in bad

We all need them changes

 

My friend seem to think we’re equals here

She doesn’t have the strength to be aware

Well It’s time or she’s no longer a friend of mine

 

She gave birth to a son

Relieved cause she knows that boys still run the world

But that’s about to change

 

I welcome you

In good times and in bad

We all need them changes

 

Them changes don’t come easily

And it takes a lot of bravery

And it takes, it sure takes a little time

 

And it all comes down to just one thing

More people out there should speak and sing

About love, liberty, equality, bravery

 

And I welcome you

In good times and in bad

We all need them changes

 

Come Down

Careless, wired, I can’t seem to unwind

I gotta come down, come down

 

Hopeful, tired, there’s a dream to find, aha

I can’t seem to come down, come down

 

Oh my mind became so aware

I feel I got news to share

 

Floating high above the ground

But I can’t seem to come down

Come down

 

I’m not trying to put you down

I just gotta come down, come down

Hey I’m not trying to put you down

I just gotta come down, come down

 

oh.......come down, come down

 

Careless, wired, I can’t seem to unvind

I gotta come down, come down

 

Floating high above the ground

But I can’t seem to come down

Come down

 

Time Has Cheated Me

Looking out the window tears in my eyes

Grey clouds are sailing the morning sky

Thinking about how time has passed us by

And when will I see you once again?

 

Many miles from home and I’m wondering why

And I can’t forget your face even if I tried

Well I had a dream of a life for you & I

But now I don’t know if I’ll see you again

 

Oh Time has cheated me

Oh bad luck is what they call it but they don’t see

That oh oh oh time has cheated me

 

I still keep some of your letters here with me

They’re faded but the message is still clear

That you have moved on again and it ain’t with me

And I don’t think I will see you once again

 

Oh Time has cheated me

Oh bad luck is what they call it but they don’t see

That oh oh oh time has cheated me

 

Oh Time has cheated me

Oh bad luck is what they call it but they don’t see

That oh oh oh time has cheated me

 

Maybe Once

Maybe twice in your life little darlin’

You might travel ’round the world like your father did

Maybe twice in your life little darlin’

You might risk your life like your mother did

 

Maybe three times in your life little darlin’

You might meet someone who’ll turn your world around

Maybe three times in your life little darlin’

You might love someone who’ll only make you cry

 

And maybe once in your life

You might find some kind of love that is free and strong

Keep that feelin’ strong and pass it on

Pass it on

 

And some rare times in your life little darlin’

You might lose someone who is close to you

And a few times in your life little darlin’

You might let somebody lead you astray, and blow you away

 

And maybe once in your life

You might find some kind of love that is free and strong

Keep that feelin’ strong and pass it on

Pass it on

 

Downtown

I look up, I look down

I look to the side and to the other side

I feel crowded, I feel small

Sometimes I feel like I can’t breathe at all

 

It happens every time I’m going down

Every time I’m going downtown, downtown

Yeah, every time I’m going down,

every time I’m going downtown   

 

The cars are driving all too fast           

The air I breathe don’t seem to last   

Downtown, downtown                         

 

There’s people everywhere I go     

They move fast and I move slowly   

Downtown, downtown   

 

I was born far away

And I grew up in the country

I like it quiet, I like it green

And I don’t care for the big city scene

 

And I feel shaky,

Every time I’m going downtown, downtown

Every time I’m going down,

every time I’m going downtown, downtown

 

The cars are driving all too fast

The air I breathe don’t seem to last

Downtown, downtown

 

There’s people everywhere I go

They move fast and I move slowly

Downtown, downtown

 

You Were Never Mine

You were never mine

 

Well everybody’s got a past

And a youth and a history

You’ve told me about your past

And the ones that you were with

 

And it’s clear to me now

You were never taken

And you were never mine

 

Well it’s always one foot out the door

You can’t get involved too much

Cause choosing me is losing you

And you can’t afford to do that

 

And it’s clear to me now

You were never taken

And you were never mine

 

Well I give up, I give in

I can’t make you change your ways

I knew it then and I know it now

I should have listened to the voice within

 

And it’s clear to me now

You were never taken

And you were never mine

 

Boy it’s clear to me now

You were never taken

And you were never mine

 

I was hoping you’d come around

But all of this time you’ve let me down

You were with me a long long time

But now I know you were never mine

Yeah you.... you were never mine

 

Vintage Prayer

Lift me up, lift me high above

Put me on this magic trail up high

Let me walk on shining stars in the sky

 

Pick me up, take me by the hand

Let me walk beside you in the dark

I won’t say a word, I’ll be by your side all the time

 

This life, everlasting life

Pieces of myself will travel on

Flowers will still grow, spring will turn to fall

Over and over again

 

This love, strong and pounding love

I feel it from my toes up to my head

The light shines through my blood and my heart

 

Take my hand, take me in your arms

Let us walk this magic trail of mine

I won’t say a word, I’ll be by your side

Hold my hand, hold my hand

 

Lift me up, lift me high above

Put me on this magic trail up high

Let me walk on shining stars in the sky

 

Take my hand, take me in your arms

Let me walk beside you in the dark

I won’t say a word, I’ll be by your side

Hold my hand, hold my hand

 

Southern Lullaby

Good news from a friend, she just had a baby girl

Oh me oh my, oh joy to the world

And good luck to you all, all you little girls

For it’s not all that easy to come in to this world

 

Shine on Georgia Moon

Shine on friends and strangers

I know I’ll be fine

As long as I can keep your hand in mine

 

Mr Evan plays the blues in the western parts of town

Oh me oh my, you really should come on down

He says the world it spins too fast, and music’s lost its soul

He says it’s not all that easy livin’ in this world

 

Shine on Georgia Moon

Shine on friends and strangers

I know I’ll be fine

As long as I can keep your hand in mine

 

Bless you little girl born on January third

Oh me oh my, welcome to this world

And good luck to you all, all you little boys and girls

Just try to make the most of it, livin’ in this world

 

Shine on Georgia Moon

Shine on friends and strangers

I know I’ll be fine

As long as I can keep your hand in mine

As long as I can keep your hand in mine
