Morten Harket - Letter From Egypt (2008) by Morten Harket (보컬) on maniadb.com

> In the dark space
When I close my eyes
I see your face shining
Like the moon in the night
and I must tell you
From my heart
I've been waiting my time
My love,
all over the world
You're with me, you're with me, with me,
you're with me, you're with me
Where ever I go
Remember who you're on the back of
riding through the human race
Crossing these rivers of memories
Girl, you've got sunshine on your face
You're with me, you're with me, with me,
you're with me, you're with me
Where ever I go
Time, time's like a slow rising wave
Gathering, gathering up nights and days
and I feel, I feel
I'm at the moment when it breakes
Yes I feel
we're at the moment when it breakes
You're with me, you're with me, with me,
you're with me, you're with me
riding through you every night
and in our window there is light

> I must have kept a burning truth
Too fight against my heart
I looked out in that night for you
Looked out in that night
God and his son apart
And every dream is far too sweet
I let them all come down
I do not know we will meet
do not know that now
Before I'm coming home
Send me God
Send me an angel
Send me a sign
Send me God
And all these things my hands will touch
Outside the name of love
Out here where nothing is too much
And people pray in gloves
Send me

> The world outside my window
Dig holes into my brain
And all the ones before us
Left nothing but their names

And all of us are broken
And all of us in pain
Though some of us have spoken
We will never speak again

The world outside my window
Dig holes into my brain
And all the ones before us
Left me with nothing
Nothing but their names

And all of us are broken
And all of us have pain
Though some of us have spoken
We will never speak again

> Night across the harbour
Nightlight in the sky
I hear the sound of water
Boats are drifting by
I've been waiting here for centuries
I've lost my sense of time
My love, you should have warned me
There are many ways to die
Look at the moon - Cocoon
I'm deep inside this world now
Got to take a step aside
I'm deeper than I ever was
I must have crossed a line
She just stood there in my way
Now I see her all the time
Oh, girl - you should have told me
There are many ways to die
Look at the moon -Cocoon
This wind is blowing through me
It is nothing I can fight
Tomorrow I may lose her
Tonight she's by my side
Her head upon my shoulder
Her angels speak with mine
She was sent me to remind me
There are many ways to die
Look at the moon - Cocoon
watching centuries go by

> Can I see you for a moment
Can I sit with you a while
I know it's late
But everything is late
All my life I've been a drifter
And that's how you know me, too
I've never seen
Tomorrow's view
All along I hear this song
That something else some day will come along
Late, but suddenly, I know what I must do
I didn't see it coming
I didn't know it was you
The days are high
And the nights are deep
and I can feel it moving in me
and nothing's like it used to be
With you - with me
You may have seen me live my life
Sometimes I've lived for fun
It's easy said...
Not so easy done
You may have watched me in the moonlight
Falling from the sky
Like every dreamer
Can go to high
And all along I hear this song
That something else one day will come along
Seamless night
To find you by my side
I didn't see it coming
My ever drifting mind
The days are high...

It's a pity to disturb
What happens by it self

By greed and hunger
We won't reach it any longer
You're a fool to use force
When you walk through open doors
And see this night
perhaps it falls
Not for you and I at all
All these stars they would shine

Even if we both were blind
but something new is gonna come

We can live some day
Like if we're gone
We won't need much space
We won't need much space then
So let me walk you down the street

Kicking leaves up with our feet
That's not a sound for us to hear
but for the blind man over there
And it's allright baby it's ok
Everyone Everyone is on their way

Have a look around you
Everybody knows it's getting late
Everyone gones be all right
Everybody gones be ok
Everyone gones be all right
Everybody gones be ok
Everyone gones be all right
Baby it's ok
Everybody gones be ok
Everyone gones be all right
Everyone is far from
home these days
Everyone gones be all right
Everybody gones be ok
Everyone gones be all right
Everybody gones be ok
Everyone gones be all right
Everybody gones be ok
Everyone gones be all right
Everybody gones be ok
A very special day
Everyone gones be all right
Everybody gones be ok
Everyone gones be all right
Everybody gones be ok
Everyone gones be all right
Everybody gones be ok
Everyone gones be all right
Everybody gones be ok
Everyone gones be all right
Everybody gones be ok
Everyone gones be all right
Everybody gones be ok
Everyone gones be all right
Everybody gones be ok
Everyone gones be all right
Everybody gones be ok

> A name is a name
But your names in the night
Call on your sleep
Where your soul comes alight
I could be there by your side
I would walk and you could fly
I'm not counting these days
Where I'm taken aside
I'm not losing my pride
I just left it outside
Cause I can't fight these waves
There's an ocean behind
Thought I looked you in the eye
But you came up from behind
A name is a name
I know your names in the night
This could be the dream of the angels above
To fly on the wings of a woman in love
You could be here by my side
I would kneel and you could fly
I'm not counting these days
Where I'm taken aside

> My woman, so lonely
My woman, so fine
My flower, don't worry
You will shine
A marriage, the secret
The shadows behind
Pianos, are playing
Summertime
But as long as you're heroes in the movies
And they turn to their safe, and carribian sea
While the power of nations set the rules
Still I've got no one lying next to me
Red carpets, no windows
She longs to escape
Her secret against farytales
But as long as you're heroes in the movies
And they turn to they safe, and carribian sea
While the power of nations set the rules
Still there is no one lying next to me
And they turn to their safe in carribian sea
While the power of nations make the rules
Still there is no one lying next to me
I've got none lying next to me
Still there is no one lying next to me

> Be my eyes
Paint colours bright
As day turns to night
Baby, be my eyes

Tell me, Dear
Was this freedom our share
Was the cost for all to bare
Tell me, Dear

Out here
We dance along the rim
Though non of us can swim
Like we know the deep we're in
And I,
I feel like I felt before
We live on a slanted floor

And so
Tell me all the things we know
Is heaven still above

> Anyone
Go tell my girl I've seen the tables turn before
Now there will be no one at the door
Go tell her not to keep the lights on
Anyone
To belong
The weaves of trust can make a man so strong
But, than you know, when a thread is gone ...
Go tell her not to keep the light on
Anyone
It was for real
It was for real
Gone, gone
The wounds of life that used to be so strong
Now a track is deep where we went wrong
Go tell her now I'll keep the light on
For anyone
It was for real
It was for real
Babe it was for real
It wasn't real
It wasn't real

> And should the rain fall after this
It'll leave no colour on the things I miss
The clouds are empty now inside of me
And in a way somehow I am free
Another mountain there to climb
But I won't look back just to see where I turned blind
Goodbye love, you almost broke my wings
this is my goodbye to that little thing
Well, it takes no colour by the winter snow
Takes no light where the sunshine flows
Takes no damage by the stones I throw
Takes no distance out of this lonely road
Has no taste of the wine that's flowed
Takes no colour of green where the spring explodes
Takes no red where the leaves fill the road
And is has no face
Got no face that I know
And should the rain fall after this
It'll leave no colour on the things I miss
Goodbye love you almost broke my wings
This is my goodbye to that little thing
Well, it takes no colour by the winter snow
Takes no light where the sunshine flows
Takes no damage by the stones I throw
Takes no distance out of this lonely road
Has no taste of the wine that's flowed
Takes no colour of green when spring explodes
Takes no red where the leaves fill the road
And it has no face
Well it has no face
Got no face that I know
Should the rain fall after this

> When the night comes falling from above
When the night comes rising from below
And you're looking for some place to go
When you come to the people you used to know
Still you wake up to the morning sun
An you're looking back on all the fun
When you think you've lost
Though you may have won
When you've got to slow down 'cause
There's no time to run
Go easy now
When you look around
And you've come too far
You're just a moment away
From the one you are
You're just a moment away
Still you wake up to the morning sun
And you're looking back on all the fun
When you think you've lost
Though you may have won
When you've got to slow down 'cause
There's no time to run
When the night comes falling from above
When the night comes rising from below
