East of the sun, west of the moon

East of the sun, west of the moon cover

Crying in the rain

(Howard Greenfield/ Carole King)

I'll never let you see

The way my broken heart

is hurting me

I've got my pride and

I know how to hide

All the sorrow and pain

I'll do my crying in the rain

If I'll wait for cloudy skies

You won't know the rain

fromthe tears in my eyes

You'll never know taht

I still love you

So though the heartaches remain

I'll do my crying in the rain

Raindrops falling from heaven

Will never wash away my misery

But since we're not together

I'll wait for stormy weather

To hide these tears I hope

you'll never see

Someday when my crying's done

I'm gonna wear a smile and

walk in the sun

I may be a fool

But till then, darling,

you'll never see me complain

I'll do my crying in the rain

Early morning

Eight o'clock precise

See the lonely August sun arise

Say you know

Ypu will

Move me like you do

Out on the fields...

I'm waiting the whole night through

Early morning, early morning, yeah

Ran the whole way

Down to the tracks

Through the doorway,

then a last look back

Say you know

You will

Save me like you do

Out on the fields...

I'm waiting the whole night through

Early morning, early morning, yeah

I climbed all the stariways

To find the rooftop clear

Got the shotgun lying with me here

Say you know

You will

Move me like you do

Out on the fields...

You know how it feels, yeah

Early morning, early morning, yeah

Early morning

Eight o'clock precise

I call your name

(P. Waaktaar/M. Furuholmen)

We got married on a cold mid-winter's morning

We sais our lines

And kissed

And it was over

Those pronouncements had sucn weight

I guess they made us hesitate

Hesitate

When she moved her hips

And swayed in my direction

I thought we could make it yet

And beat the isolation

But in that gentle dark

Man, we tore ourselves apart

Through the fire and rain

Through the wilderness and pain

Through the losses, through the gains

On lover's roller coaster train

I call your name

Oh, God... we used to laugh

Is the fire dying, babe

It hurts to ask

Let me hold you for awhile

(Saxophone: Phil Todd

Tamburine: Martin Ditcham)

Slender Frame

(P. Waaktaar/ M. Furuholmen)

Your coat is hanging loosely

On your slender frame

There's many roads to leave by

but few come back again

I don't believe it

I believe it

Take a look around and see

What's stopping you is stopping me

One moonless night we'll make it right

And wanish in the dark of night

Pack up your things and go

Run down the road, don't take it slow

Pack up your things today and run away

Yeah, run away

You say it's useless crying

Never got you far

You claim there's none as lonely

Lonely as you are

I don't believe it

I believe it

Take a look around and see

What's breaking you is breaking me

One moonless night we'll make it right

And wanish in the dark of night

(Second Vocal: Pål Waaktaar

East of the sun

(P. Waaktaar)

Half a letter

Tells half a story

The way I see it

It's half the worry

Where I came from

I forgot too soon..

East of the sun

And west of the moon

Money talks

And hwy, I'm listening

I've lived without it

Enough to miss it

Where I'm going

I'll get that soon...

East of the sun

And west of the moon

Another day leaves me aching

I try to wake up

But something's breaking

Here inside me

Deep and hollow

A sound that no other sound could

I know the pain

Before the wound...

East of the sun

And west of the moon

Sycamore leaves

(P. Waaktaar)

Can't stop thinking 'bout it

It fills me with unease

Out there by the roadside

something's buried

Under sycamore leaves

Wet ground, late September...

The foliage of the trees

I came upon this feeling that

someone's lying

Covered by sycamore leaves

And I could never face it

And take a look and see

And I could never break out

And shake its grip on me

(Bass Guitar: Pål Waaktaar)

Waiting for her

(P. Waaktaar/ M. Furuholmen)

Waiting for her

That's all I ever do

Waiting for her

So why didn't I

Take the measures justified

Our love has always been the same

She comes, then goes away again

Oh yeah

She used to say

We didn't have the breaks we should've had

Coming our way

But why didn't I

Take the time and put it right

Our love has always been the same

She leaves me standing out in the rain

Oh yeah

Send her my love

She's all I'm thinking of

Oh yeah

I'm telling you

And when she's sleeping by my side

Eyes closed, all knowledge trapped inside

Oh yeah

Wht didn't I

Take the measures justified

Send her my love

She's all I'm thinking of

Oh yeah

I'm telling you

Cold river

(P. Waaktaar/ M. Furuholmen)

I took a ride in an automobile

Pushed my hands out against the wheel

Asked a girl if he needed a ride

She said, "Sure, babe, but I wanna drive"

Hey now, wait a while

We're going down with a smile

Cold river - she took me down

Cold river - she took my pride

Had to stop on account of the storm

Seemed like years since I'd been warm

We drowe all night till the tires blew

Got in the back and did what you do

Hey now, wait awile

We're going down with a smile

Cold river - she tookmy pride

Cold river - she took my pride

On a sunny day

(She took my pride)

All the money you made

Did you need it, babe

(Second Vocal: Magne Furuholmen

Bass Guitar: Pål Waaktaar)

The way we talk

(M. Furuholmen)

Sometimes the way we talk isn't all that good

We can't change it though we know we should

Babe, these fights of ours aren't all that fair

Was this problem always there

If I could I'd change, I swear

If I could, I would, I swear

(Lead vocal: Magne Furuholmen)

Rolling thunder

(P. Waaktaar/ M. Furuholmen)

It's the weight below us...

And our fate before us

Like a rolling thunder

Rolling up from under

Don't ever leave this way

I know it's getting harder, but hey

If your world should crumble, yeah

And the rain gets in

Running through your skin

Soaking you outside in

The rain...see it falling

But I don't know how long it will be

Until the storm's over

But I'll wait

I will

Like the years of silence

To the growing vilence

Like a rolling thunder

Rolling up from under

Don't ever leave me this way

Wait a little longer, yeah stay

Through the night I trumble, yeah

When the rain comes in

I will shed my skin

Losing it from within

See the rain...it's falling

But I won't be leaving your side

Until all is over

I'll wait

I will

So many lifetimes you've been waiting for it

All through the good times when you tried to ignore it

You hesitate

It's come too late

You hear the sound

Of when wheels engage

When the rain comes in

I will shed my skin

Losing it from within

(Seemingly) Nonstop July

(P. Waaktaar)

Walking by strangers

Stranger than me

We talk of the future

Between you and me

Sweet little darling

Where will we be

Sweet little darling

Where will we be

It's hard to conceive it

All comes to an end

A joke when it's funny, well...

I laugh and oretend

We're fools to believe it

We're fools to try

To slow down this seemingly nonstop July

(Piano: Pål Waaktaar)
