Stina Nordenstam - Memories Of A Color (2003) by Stina Nordenstam (보컬) on maniadb.com

I'm searching for a colour
Don't think it's got a name
It's something between pink and brown
Just like when the sun sets
Sometimes when it rains
Like it's the first time you see it go down

Me and my boat
Have been out for years now
My collection of china's complete
Except for that one piece
I won't be satisfied
I once held it but it disappeared

They've stolen my wallet
Now I'm finally broke
Now I've finally got nothing to lose
Your picture was in it
The one thing that you left
With that photo I've lost you for good

I walk down to the port
Take my motorboat
And go out and turn the motor off
And I listen to the waves
I lay very still
I try not to think
Try not to breathe at all

"EAGLE: 40 feet down 2 1/2, kicking up some dust ...4 forward ... 4 forward ... drifting to the right a little ...
... OK. Contact light. OK, engine stop ..."

"HOUSTON: We copy you down, Eagle."

"EAGLE: Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed."

Well I'm walking in these streets again
I'm back and it all looks the same

And I feel like a man who returned from the moon
Gotta be what it's like to return from the moon

I've been traveling for a year or so
I've been so far out baby you'll never know
I really loved you like in another world
But I'm back now and this is even worse

And I feel like a man who returned from the moon
Gotta be what it's like to return from the moon

Now Alan Bean he fulfilled his greatest dream
A step on the moon and his future was ruined
Alan Bean and Pete and Rusty too
They had nothing left they wanted to do
Alan Bean had seen his life from above
And what he felt
It was stronger than love
To Alan Bean life is not what it seems to be
A step on the moon and life on earth is a dream

Cause it's hard to return from a trip to the moon
It's not a game to return from a trip to the moon

You better take care of your dreams baby
But if you touch them you'll never be the same
Well I wanted to touch what I saw with my eyes
Don't try to reach the moon if you don't want to realize

It's so hard to return from a trip to the moon
It's not a game to return from a trip to the moon

You were at the hall one night
I saw it on his face
I've seen you before
Cause on his wall you left a trace

There's a portrait of yours
Hanging in his hallway still
In his eyes a pain that will not fade
I know it never will

Some other town
And other faces
It's another story

Some other time
Leaving no traces
It's another story
Another story
Another story

You were selling paintings in a gallery in town
He could not afford to buy one
Yet he kept coming by

Trust is hard although you do try
It's easier to be true
He said "I don't wanna watch things I can't buy
No I want you"

Some other town
And other faces
It's another story

Some other town
Leaving no traces
It's another story
Another story
Another story

I give him all my love I do
Like he gave his to you
You packed your clothes and things once
Now I'm thinking of it too.

There was a girl her eyes were blue
He'd miss her when she'd gone
There was a boy who'd die for you
For anyone he'd want

Some other town
And other faces
It's another story

Some other time
Leaving no traces
It's another story
Another story
Another story girl

... there she goes
Waiting for her love

There she goes
Waiting for her love
There she goes waiting for the big surprise
That'll change her world
That'll change her world
That'll change her world
That'll change my world

I know that I can't have you
I know that you will never be mine
I know that and that's why I choose you
Cause this is real life ...

See how I'm smiling
Well you should be surprised cause I
Used to get sad just by talking about him
It's not that I forgot him
Tonight he was here with me saying
He'd changed his mind he decided to stay

It's a dream
There's no need to tell me so
It's a dream
Don't you think I know
But I just never noticed
That it could be this close
From being dreaming to being alive
From having nothing to having it all
From being in love to being poor

I skip that lipstick
I don't care what I wear today
My thoughts are with him
When I walk out in the street
People were staring
Then I felt my face was wet
I didn't notice I'd started to cry

Im through with traveling
I now now what I was after
I stay right here now I've found
What I searched for
I know he doesn't love me
No he doesn't care much
Don't seem to stop him from killing me slowly

A dream
There's no need to tell me so
Its a dream
Don't you think I know

But I just never noticed
That it could be this close
From being dreaming to being alive
From having nothing to having it all
From being in love to being poor

To fight the battle between darkness and light
There he is sitting all alone ...
He found the starry sky one night, a secret he will keep

There is a house next to the station
It's not abandoned anymore
You see the lights up at the station
Somebody's living there for sure
No one's ever stayed inside up there till dawn arrives

There was some damage to the spacecraft
So now they're stuck in outer space
Something went wrong down at the lift-off
Two billion miles or more away
"We'll send another capsule
so they may be back in June ... "

He lit a candle from the fireplace
Sat on the floor and watched it breathe
See the Lightkeeper finally found his place
And he won't rise, won't fall asleep

Our lives are lying there before us, awaiting
So many ways to make it right
And still they're all the same to me
These stars all look the same

And still they're all the same to me
These days are all the same

I've called you now a thousand times
I think I know now
You're not home
I've said your name a thousand times
To be prepared if you'd be there

I wanted so to have you
And I wanted you to know
I wanted to write songs
About how we're walking in the snow

You've got me slightly disappointed
Just a bit and just enough
To keep me up another night
Waiting for another day

The city's taking a day off
The streets are empty
No one's out tonight
My life is in another's hands

I wanted so to have you
And I wanted you to know
I wanted to write songs
About how we're walking in the snow

But there's no snow this winter
There's no words for what I feel for you
It's not enough
Though it's too much
Why must it always be like that?

The TV screen is lighting up my room
The film has ended
Every inch of my skin is crying for your hands

And I wanted so to have you
And I wanted you to know
I wanted to write songs
About how we're walking in the snow

You've got me slightly disappointed
Just a bit and just enough
To keep me up another night
Waiting for another day
