lyrics

Strange song

This very old moon
I’ve heard so much about
It can make your heart sing
or bring it out of tune
I like the night
when the claims of dday are out of sight
cause who can stand all this sunshine
with this Norway everywhere

I sit and watch your children play
Lazy laidback
with a song in my head
Close to you and your caress

This tired old earth
allways so carelessly misused
Will she take the strain..?
She seem near to burst
I like the rain
it makes me feel strong and clean again
But who can live with this feeling
When the hard rain starts to fall…

I sit and watch your children play
Lazy laidback
with a song in my head
Close to you and your caress

This rather strange song
I dedicate to you
It makes me feel sad
but kind of happy too
Cause I like the blues
and some rock’n roll out of tune
I wish you could see truth my nightmare
into the whiter parts of me

about

PapaFahr Trondheim, Norway

He lives by a bootleg philosofy, where atmosphere and soul connection in studio and stage is more important than perfection and equilibrity. Playing on routing and making albums to perfection, where poetry smooth in with overrehearsed cords, is not only a vast of money, but also a vaste of mind. ... more
