Lyrics "Another Spot"

Wake Up


Taking every road that leads the way
Another lowlands took us far today
Nat is strolling while she curls her hair
As I whisper in her ear, saying;

Chorus:
Wake up, we got to go
We need to see this land from here to Mexico
And we won’t let us of this road not anymore
Cause I got you to send real love to me

Trouble’s here as it comes all the time
We got to run and sometimes got to hide
My blue eyed baby she’ll make it come true
As I whisper in her ear singing

Chorus:

There were times that we really made love
As we stayed up all night at the sea
We were ready to lay ourselves in
With the danger the sea at night brings
As we stared into the water

Chorus:



On And On


From Monterosa to Andorra
We took a long turn for a climb
Slept in many painted cities
As we crossed the borderline

We could sail the sunny island
Pick the grapes there from the vine
Sit and listen to the humming
In rest and peace the time slips by

On and on we slowly travelled
As we watched the days go by
Like the sun floating high
Soon the muddy river’s running dry

In a life time all we gathered
Memories of you and I
Knowing there will be that moment
When we say each other goodbye



Life Is Strangling


Soon it gets to freezing
and the cold cuts like a knife
Need more blankets just to keep a life
Wood price is rising higher,
not allowed to cut it down
And the ones I thought were friends
won’t come around

Work is closed for months long,
till the spring comes near
So not a dollar, not a dollar will appear
Get up each lonely morning,
for some job that I could find
But it seems there’s nothing left for me behind

O Lord if there’s a heaven, could you send a line of hope
I’m feeling down, down,  life’s strangling like a rope
This pain that I call living,  has got me on the ground
So please,.. if you’re around

Soon it’s getting hotter, then the lake will be dried out
And this crop can’t feed the hungry mouth
Water’s ten miles westward,
while my back ain’t what it’s been
And the children are to weak for travelling

My husband died in prison
for a thing that he ain’t done
Justice, is just a word that’s long time gone
So here’s a desperate living
with kids rely on my
Could I show them that
their life is meant to be

O Lord if there’s a heaven, could you send a line of love
I’m feeling down, down, and I won’t get up above
This pain that I call living, has got me on the ground
So please,… if you’re around 

Chorus:
And I don’t know why but that’s the way it goes
Can’t stand the fact that every time it shows
You’re born in a circle you can’t choose,
You’re born to win or somehow born to loose

Soon I’ll get my pay, then when the work is done
A holiday with my body in the sun
By car, by bus, by train, maybe leave by plane
Going to clear my mind and strength to gain

Insurances arranged, so nothing can go wrong
Let’s enjoy the pleasant times while we’re young
Just step out of the patterns, we’ll just pick a day
It’s easy if you want to break away

O Lord if there’s a heaven, could you send a line of hope
I’m feeling down, down, life’s strangling like a rope
This pain that I call living, has got me on the ground
So please,.. if you’re around

Chorus:



From Afar


Indian poems, say when you die
Your soul climbs up and fills the sky
Reborn as a glittering shining star
That can light everyone from afar
That will light everyone from afar

Daddy I know you’re here and there
You`re in my heart, you’re everywhere
But time after time, it’s hard when found
I’ll never feel your arms around
My knees bend to the ground

Chorus:
So when the night falls in I search
For you across the universe
And find the warmth from up above
You still send me your love

So when I cry when missing you
I send my prayers right up to you
Close to heaven watching me
I look up and I know that you see
My daddy you’ll always will be,
you’ll always be

Chours:

Indian poems, say when you die
Your soul climbs up and fills the sky
Reborn as a glittering shining star
That can light everyone from afar
That will light everyone from afar



Since I’ve Been Working On A Railroad


Since I’ve been working on a railroad
Loose my way like days back when
Liquor makes me forget what’s true
The liquor makes me forget about you
Sweet darling, shame I’m losing you

Since I’ve been working on a railroad
These new friends, they pull me down
When it’s time to stop, they call for more
Though you warned a hundred times before
Sweet darling, don’t you close the door

Since I’ve been working on a railroad
Our home ain’t what it used to be
The passion is gone in one small year
Your pretty face now holds a tear
Sweet darling, and you won’t let me near

Since I’ve been working on a railroad
I lost control about my life
I promise to pick it up again
If you only give a chance I can
Sweet darling, won’t you hold this man ?
Sweet darling, oh please hold your man



Open The Door


Well I`ve never been the one that blows with the wind
I just try to keep true to myself
Got a friend of wood and strings since the age of twelve
Well it showed me the way to search for my soul
And grew stronger with each day
It’s the only power that could drive the blues away

For every feeling there’s a chord, for every mood’s a line
For the lonely dream, for romantic hearts entwine
And the secret ain’t that hard to find
If you’re really longing for
A song of life to open up the door

Chorus:                                                        
Hear it ringing, do you feel the line come in?
Hear it swinging, coming through the skies above
Heaven’s bringing, can’t you feel the vibes?
Open up the door, open up the door.

So all in all to make the circle round
there ain’t no right or wrong
Who am I to judge what is the perfect song
Layed back, fast or slow,
if it really works to go
Feel the spirit of the music and let it grow


It’s just the beat boy, just the beat,
when the ladies wanna dance
So let it roll on, to give the night a chance
Just the hunger for the rhythm
and the beat of a rock ’n’ roll band
Too poetic words ain’t worth the trouble to understand  

Chorus:



In Your Heart It Stays


We settled down in this country fair
Where you can stay a while, as long as you can share
Down the muddy river, across the rockslide
At a small town junction, you must take a right.

And when you see the sunburst sign
You may come and please yourself
In this old house of wood and clay
Where you won’t walk away
In your heart it stays

It doesn’t matter if you’re down and out sir
There’s a room left, right behind that door
And I can promise you, that you’ll have a time sir
In this old mansion, the devil won’t get in

And when you see the moonlight shine
You may come and please yourself
In this old house of wood and clay
Where you won’t walk away
In your heart it stays



Don’t Know How To Deal


Saddle up my horse,  don’t know what we’re heading for
But I’ll go until we both can’t take no more
There’s a way to cross the water an find a sweet isle
Where the sun blocks the clouds for quite a while

At first I’ll built a fire and I’ll sing my lonely song
With no one around to tell me what is wrong
With my poncho and bandana, waiting for the night to fall
Here’s time to heal the blisters of my searching soul

There’s a pain and I don’t know how to deal
With the past and the way I used to feel
While the people still say; it will someday pass away
Will the morning light bring me that day?

Once is told; look up to heaven  and find your guiding star
For everyone a light shines from afar
You won’t get lost out in the darkness, you’d even make a wish
How can it be there’s still something that I miss?

Now the wind is calming down, my fire is almost out
And I try to catch some sleep and dream about
My returning to the place and the love I knew back when
What I lost makes me travel on again
What I lost makes me travel on again
Oh the pain,…I’ll travel on again. 



On Our Way


In the still of the night with you by my side
We’ll reach another spot
No more ties that bind, so don’t look behind
Hold on to what we’ve got
There’s a road ahead calling, inviting us home
We should be on our way right now
Instead of losing our dreams
and the vision we found
Don’t fail to grab it, just follow that sound

Don’t hear what they’re saying, we got to beware
Once we’ll wake up there
As if we don’t know, that life always shows
It’s two sides everywhere
Underestimated as just foolish thoughts
Baby we’re on our way right now
So let them speak what they wish to,
we’ll listen no more
Find the destination that we’re heading for

The morning sunrise, the open field lies
Waiting just for us
Now come with your hand, just breathe, understand
This was worth the cross
Went like two desperadoes, and given no chance
Baby we’re on our way right now
We got a day to believe in and no night to fear
Everything’s open and possible here



Satisfied


Get your boots, let’s go out
Bells still ring what romance’s about
There’s one for love, one for life 
One for feeling satisfied

There’s a full moon shining in the heat of the night
We don’t need anybody around,
So grab my hand to go straight to the place
Where we can never ever be found

A blanket with us, to cover the ground
As we look for a good spot to stay
In the middle of the meadow green lay down
What remains, guess right away

Oh let me feel the love that will not part
Let me hear that pounding of your heart
Oh let us fly to heaven tonight
Beyond the stars, beyond the full moon light

So hear this song, just hang on
Get the beat, feeling strong
It’s been too long, we realise
This road leads to paradise

So easy now feel the rhythm again,
This slipping out time is the chance
If the body and mind are willing to dare
To lead this lover’s dance

Come on, come on, no need to be shy
Let me go, let me drown in your eyes
No need to hurry or worry when it ends
The soul’s no borderlines  

Oh let me feel the love that will not part
Let me hear that pounding of your heart
Oh let us fly to heaven tonight
Beyond the stars, beyond the full moon light

Get your boots, let’s go out
Bells still ring what romance’s about
There’s one for love, one for life 
One for feeling satisfied


Sense Of Failure


Drive my car through the rain,  short time left to catch the plane
Booked a trip to old Japan, to heal the inside of this man
Take a deep breath in the sun, standing still instead of run
A part’s left for me to find,  drifts between the soul and mind
A part’s left for me to find

I’ve been to Paris for some days, to feel the sweet romantic ways
Seen the lover’s shining face, kiss on the Champs Elyssees
Watch the Eiffel tower at night, Notre Dame with candles bright
But the flame burned not for me, Paris wasn’t meant to be
Seemed just not the place to be

Searching for a tool trying to break the rule
But what’s the sense of failure acting like a fool
Everywhere I go, everywhere I know
I’d settle down, down, don’t care what kind of town

Standing for the mirror I always shut my eyes
I feel I’m betraying myself,  my journey seems a lie
You, you are the reason, I want you back again
Won’t realise this dreamer, Is a self deceiving man

I had vision so I’d fly  and climbed the Rocky mountain high
Seen the rivers run below, m eadows filled with columbines,
robins sing the purest lines
Slept in a cabin near a lake, found hunting dreams is still forsake
What a difference could it make

Drive my car through the rain, short time left to catch the plane



Losing Again



I made it right this time for turning home tonight
Since I’ve been wandering
Through darkness storm and rain
My eyes opened again But it doesn’t feel the same

Lying on my back
Between the trees that I once planted
Dream away, slowly dream away

Chorus:
First I was found now I am losing again
First I was found now I am losing again

I write it on the wall: Where has my baby gone?
This time I’m holding one, to what I’d once become
Just drifting further on getting closer to the sun

Lying on my back
and all the tiny little lights are hanging there
Brighter than the sun

Chorus:   

Lying on my back
and all the tiny little lights are hanging there
Brighter than the sun

Chorus:

A ringing telephone, a rooster’s crowing on
I think it’s better to move on, adios, goodbye, okay
Step in my 68 and driving like I’m crazy 

Where I was again
Between the trees that I once planted
Dream away, slowly dream away

Chorus:



Where The Eagle Flies


Where the eagle flies, I feel strong inside
Making wishes too, wish they all come true

Where the river runs,  I once felt my heart
Beating fast it goes,  like the water flows

When the air is sweet, in the summer breeze
Like the flowers sway, takes my breath away

In the early dawn, that surprising charm
Saw you wet and pale in a long dark veil

When it’s cold outside and the moonlight shines
Close your eyes and go to a world of your own
