Have you heard - have you heard -
About this girl who was ripped up
By her roots
Wanna know - what she learned?
Like humility - You win when you lose
I have learned - I have learned
The most horrifying nights have ends
I was hurt I was lost.
In the dark I found the way to a friend
I'm standing here in my ravine.
Once again I see a piece of the sky
And my joy'll never be denied
'Cause I was meant to be here -
The only place on earth
Where you are near - where you are near
Was a flower so frail -
And I let the trees grow wild around me
Grew so high hid the sky -
Shaded everything I needed to see
Then one night someone came
Took a knife an ripped me up by my roots
Tossed astray, far away
In my darkest night I started to pray
I am standing....
Why do you, why do you ask
Why I'm not blaming my god?
I'll tell you, I'll tell you what -
He was the only one there
I am standing...

I guess the succes went to my head and
suddenly I was not in "good ground" any
more. the song is a metaphor: the sun in the
song symbolises God. A flower which can't be
reached by the sun can't survive- It has to be
replanted. I am such a flower.
I was replanted. I've never felt better.
You are as reliable as a painting in wave wet sand
Look in your eyes,and I can't see a thing
That usually means attraction to me
I've read all the books about love I could find
And I've found not one, no
Not one word about mine -
'Cause You are reliable as a painting
In wave wet sand
You're coming and you're going:
Like the water you never end
'Cause You are reliable as a painting
In wave wet sand
And I'm just another piece of an island
In reach for your hands
...Feel my doubts when you are in my arms
Darling: If you know it's love
And not charm
You must tell me or go elsewhere to hunt
Your love....
And I'm just another piece of an island
I can't close my ears when I hear that you call
I don't want to fear every tear that could fall:
I'll go on my own, and pass people
With doubts.
My goal is to find just a piece of your love.
Your love is - your love is like the water
You are like the water
You are like the water
You, you are my shore, and you know
You are my shore
'Cause You are reliable like painting
I'm just another piece of an island
Wave wet sand:
My mother told me a long time ago:
"Don't be afraid of loving someone who is
unlike you."
i see myself as a 'reliable' person. What
would happend if I started to care for an
unreliable person- you know- someone
with a bad reputation? Would I still give it
all? Anyway- i was drawing in the wet sand,
while we recorded the video "Don't turn
around", at the beach outside Miami.
Waves took my "art", and as far as I know,
wave wet sand is not reliable... at all.
-Nice time working with my brother.

Give me all your tears
Let me turn them into pearls
Let me turn all the tears that you've cried onto pearls
Hand them to me
I'm gonna keep, keep them for you
I want to hold you.
I want to kiss you.
I want to mend what is broken
Love me the way you loved her - please
Cause now I'm giving it all -
And so I've made up my mind
I'm gonna be yours this time
I'm gonna give what I've got
And get your love in return
And so I've made up my mind
I'm gonna be yours this time
I'm gonna teach you to trust
And learn how to burn,
Experience pearls
Pearls of experience
When sand strikes up in your eyes
I will cover your face
I'll plant your desert with roses
And I'm gonna keep, keep them for you
I'll wear yours pearls more precious than silver
I'll wear your pearls so close to my skin
I'd tear myself apart just to get you -
And so I've made up my mind....
And so I've made up my mind....
Experience pearls:
A song betting it all on one card. As
fars as I know, I've only made that twice
The first time was when I gave up studying
beacause of Ace of base. The second time
was when I met my boyfriend. By that time
I'd been watching him for seven years...
the song is also about the pearl that
express sorrow and anger. The most
beautiful pipeline in the world is
the lachrymal tearduct. A friend of
mine lost his dearest one, and the
verses of this song were born

Can't you hear them whispering
around you all the time
can't you tell the difference between
things when you're in love
I hear your voice is trembling
every time when he's around
your detached engagements
in the things I say means love, oh
He decides whether you should smile
whether you should cry
whether you should be happy
He decides whether you should smile
whether you should cry
whether you should be sad
if he doesn't love you you're afraid that you
can't go on
living without loving never makes a person
strong, no
if he really loves you let him show you that
instead
I will be here with you cause I know that
you're afraid of love
He decides whether you should smile
whether you should cry
whether you should be happy
He decides whether you should smile
whether you should cry
whether you should be sad
you'll never change my mind my friend, don't
let that feeling go
this love might change your world around
in time you'll have to know, oh yeah
whether you should go
oh yeah
He decides whether you should smile
whether you should cry
whether you should be happy
He decides whether you should smile
whether you should cry
whether you should be sad
whether you should be happy
whether you should cry
whether you should be happy
He decides
whether you
I know that
He decides
I was so glad that I with this song found words
and music to the strange situation I was in, if he
called me on the phone I could be indescribably
happy for a whole week, and if I didn't get that
letter he had promised me, I was sure that he
didn't care for me and I fell down twice as low
as I'd been up high before
Later I've found that this was the exact key to love
being so much in love that it takes over your "being"
by the way - if I was a man (...) the title would
have been "she decides"
