«Lost»

Solitaire – album (2021, VEC016)


Umulige drømmer

La meg kjenna luktå av deg
der du ligge så stilt
Får meg te å driva avsted
i den herligste nostalgi
For minnene som komme med duftå di,
e savn og lengsel

Taust, og med et smil om munnen,
ligge eg her og forgude deg
Som heilt uvitende blir beskua
av den som har blitt så ubetinga fortapt
Og som så ensomt lukke øynene, for å stenge ute
det som kan ses, men aldri fås

Skjønnheten e paradokset; selvmotsigelsen
Så herlig avskyelig, og samtidig
så avskyelig herlig

A faint Whisper

A soft and tender sound is heard:
Your whispering in the dense night
I can recall your voice
For you have called on me before

Long time I have been awaiting
Yet again to hear from you
The merry sound of your voice
Your laughter singing (so softly) in my ear

I reach out
Can’t touch – can’t feel
But certain of which
That somewhere out there
In the mist of the night
You are

Yes, I know you are there
Though no hand is reaching back to me
Still feeling that you are near
’Cause I’ve been missing you so much

I drift away, dreaming…
I drift away
Dreaming…
I am drifting away
I drift away, dreaming of you

When you whisper my name
I can still feel that you are here
Reach out and grab my hand
Take my hand – touch me

I reach out
Can’t touch – can’t feel
But I am certain of which
That somewhere out there
In the mist of the night
You are waiting
Waiting there for me

Gratitude

Still there
In the dark of the night
Words waiting to be spoken
But kept back in fear of losing
What is so precious to me

More than possible
to describe with words
I need you

See you in my dreams,
hear your voice in the wind
I miss you

Because you really make
a difference in my life
I love you

The key to my life,
is lying in your hands
I’m waiting for you be the door

Linger

Every day, every hour I’m awake or I’m asleep
I feel a pain so deep
From the wounds, of the words that you refrained from telling me
Unsaid words that made me see

That this all was just a lie
Can’t understand when asking myself why

Hope withers, hope dies as you turn your back on me
Leaving me in misery
After giving; after living through the tricks that you have played
Feels like I have been betrayed

Now I’ve shed too many tears
After crying all these years

A cold breeze of pain sweeping through me,
because of the lack
Every broken promise, is a stab in the back
In the shadow of your lies,
everything good dies
Here, where I linger all alone

The silence broken by words unspoken
As you passed me by, with the bitter sound of a sigh
When you saw what you had done,
you realized all hope was gone
Regret until the day you die
For this you don’t deserve a goodbye

For as long as it lasted
I hope that you enjoyed…

Det bittersøte håp

Et mylder av tanker
Drukne meg i et hav
Av ønsker og drømmer

Ordene sådde et håp
Som va så lovende herlig
Svøpt i det vakreste smil

Den smakte så søtt –
Kver einaste drøm
Om enn våken eller i søvn

All næring det fikk
På så mange vis
Vokste seg raskt så stor


Der det ein gang levde
Et skinnende håp
Herske nå ein oppgitt frustrasjon

Kanskje det vokste seg
Så altfor stort
Dette flotte håpet

Kanskje va håpet
Så virkelighetsfjernt;
Pynta med blåøyd naivitet

Henrykt og henreven
Blei en likevel
Før virkeligheten gjorde en bråvåken

Så godt det smake
Men så vondt det gjør
Når ens hjerte for noen andre blør

Act of Ego

“I won’t let you in;
Inside of me
Cause I don’t think
You would feel the pain

And I won’t let you see
See me when I cry
‘Cause I don’t think
You would understand”

The words she said
Struck him
So suddenly they came
From nowhere

This void growing
Deep inside of him
All these questions
But no answers

All that was good
Now has turned
Into hatred
For no reason

“I won’t let your evil, get to me
And tear me down”
Written to her
On a tear-stained piece
Of paper

Silently she whispered:
”Still, it hurts…”

Memories

Looking back at the best days I ever had
It makes me so glad

I can still feel your smell tickling my nose
And happiness as it grows

And now I’m all alone
But the memories are still here
I just close my eyes
And then we’re yet together; so near

Still I see you shining like you did that night
The most perfect sight

Now I’m all alone
But the memories are still here
I just close my eyes
And then we’re yet together; so near
