Silje Nergaard

Long before I opened up my eyes
I felt a heavy day was coming on
There outside my window leaden skies
Fill the space where once the sun had shone
The wind is howling though it's just a breeze
Bending me and all that's in its way
It breaks my will and brings me to my knees
Tells me I can't take another day

You're out of sight, not out of mind
Survived the night only to find
You're out of sight, not out of mind
You helped me see then robbed me blind

The summer's day now brings me winter's frost
The seasons are all one and time stands still
I search for something that has not been lost
To help me climb this neverending hill
I wander through a landscape cold and bare
Where all that I once knew had turned to stone
There is no living thing to hold me there
No voice to tell me I'm not alone

You're out of sight, not out of mind
Survived the night only to find
You're out of sight, not out of mind
You helped me see then robbed me blind

I believe that starry skies
Would always be more carefully dazed tonight
And would guide us she said
That we would fear nothing
And now I see the flawless heart
Whose only wish is to be right
Feels how it's beaten for nothing

She told him everything got out of hand
And she lost touch with moments they had planned
Tried to make herself believe she'd never cared
And none of this is written there in stone
She said it's based on a thousand true stories

I can see that all the signs
Have made myself believe I hadn't seen
Are what hurt us she said
There was no way of knowing
I rode a plane to fit the speed
Put our love and names up there in lights
But the god went on growing

He told her everything just fell apart
So he had done his best to fool his heart
Tried to make himself believe he was alive
And none of this has come from me alone, he said
It's based on a thousand true stories

We hoped that light would just stay in our hands
That just would disappear and we would find
Our way back to the love that we had left behind
And none of this can happen on its own, he said
It's based on a thousand true stories

Be what you wanna be and leave the rest me
Another name crossed out on my list
Say what you've got to say
Then you can make your way
Towards my door walk on through a mist
There's no rush take your time
Punishment is part of crime
You'll soon see what you have to pay
You moved and make your film
My (?) here's the bill
So let us hear what you have to say

Be gone
How yuo gonna make it
When you win a heart to break it
when you chuckle out the faking
Be gone
we are the last reminder (?)
A keeper's not a finder
So be a little kinder
Be good
Are you gonne be gone

You think I'm hard as nail
So hope you might check to scale
To (?) you to get this heart to sway
This heart ain't yours to break
So if you're wise
You'll be on your way
Be gone

Be gone
How yuo gonna make it
When you win a heart to break it
when you chuckle out the faking
Be gone
(?)
A keeper's not a finder
So be a little kinder
Be good
Write this in a letter
no no matter we must stand for better
But until I find another way
Be gone, be gone, be gone

Baby be gone
You can go
Be gone, be gone, be gone

My heart's not lonely or broken
Is not of ice or gold
Nor has my heart ever spoken
To me when a love has grown coldI felt not has faintest flutter
When you brushed my cheek as you passed
Nor will i willingly clutter
My life with these things that don't lastBe still my heart
My heart be stillIf our eyes shoud meet then so- be-it
No need to trouble a heart that's hidden
Where no-one can free it
Only to tear it apartBe still my heart
My heart be stillBeware, beware, beware
Take care, take careBe still my heart
My heart be still

If Love is strange... a lover's even stranger
He'll tell her she outshines his wildest dreams
But given time he'll try to rearrange her
To fit within the fabric of his schemes

Oh... what became of "stay the way you are, love"?
Why change the very things you loved me for?
What became of "stay the way you are"?
The way I was before you called me yours

If Love is blind... a lover's even blinder
Her charm he'll say has brought him to his knees
From that day on he'll search but never find her
The woman she's become will fail to please

Uh... what became of "stay the way you are, love"?
Why change the very things you loved me for?
What became of "stay the way you are"?
The way I was before you called me yours

I'm wild again
Beguiled again
A whimpering, simpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I

I couldn't sleep
And wouldn't sleep
When love came and told me I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I

I lost my heart
But what of it?
He is cold I agree
He can laugh, but I love it
Although the laugh's on me

I'll sing to him
Each spring to him
And long for the day when I'll cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I

I lost my heart
But what of it?
He is cold I agree
He can laugh, but I love it
Although the laugh's on me

I'll sing to him
Each spring to him
And long for the day when I'll cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I

I'm wild again
Beguiled again
A whimpering, simpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I

I couldn't sleep
And wouldn't sleep
When love came and told me I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I

I lost my heart
But what of it?
He is cold I agree
He can laugh, but I love it
Although the laugh's on me

I'll sing to him
Each spring to him
And long for the day when I'll cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I

I lost my heart
But what of it?
He is cold I agree
He can laugh, but I love it
Although the laugh's on me

I'll sing to him
Each spring to him
And long for the day when I'll cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I

Now that you have found her
Just put your arms around her
Talk then of love and that soon
You'll reach out and give her the moon

We move from cold to colder
So draw her near and hold her
Weave moonlight into her hair
Whisper you'll always be there

Stroke away her sadness
With a touch of moonlight madness
A moon can be borrowed at will
Yet come tomorrow it's still

(It's still) There on high, sailing by
You and I

Get wise and not just older
Draw her near and hold her

편지 - 실리예 네르가드



Tiden har tenkt i meg
gitt meg en drøm om deg
åpnet en sannhet med en løgn
Natten min lukker seg
i avstanden slukker jeg
slik dagen min drukner i et døgn
시간이 내 속에서 생각하고 있어요
매일 내게 당신 꿈을 꾸게 하고
거짓의 진실을 일깨우지요
나의 밤은 그 장막을 내리고
이런 날들이 내 안에서 가라 앉고 있어요

Det lyser på himmelen i kveld
Det er stjernene som blunker til deg
selv er jeg månen
og jeg elsker deg med duften fra et kinn
hører du stemmen min?
I natt holder jeg om deg
med en vind
오늘 저녁 하늘은 빛나고 있어요
별들이 내게 눈 웃음을 보내고 있어요
나는 달이 되어 달의 향기로 당신을 사랑하겠어요
내 목소리가 들리나요?
오늘 밤, 당신을 안아줄게요
한 줄기 바람으로

Lengt opp mot himmelen
lengst ut i natt er det en
måne munn i mørket
den er min
I kveld når du skynder deg hjem
skal jeg skinne der
hvor savnene dine kommer frem
아득한 하늘을 향해
한 밤의 끝을 향해 달이
어둠의 입술 안에 있어요
그 달은 내 것
오늘 밤, 당신이 서둘러 집으로 돌아올 때
당신의 그리움을
내가 비춰줄께요

Det lyser på himmelen i kveld
Det er stjernene som blunker til deg
selv er jeg månen
og jeg elsker deg med duften fra et kinn
hører du stemmen min?
I natt holder jeg om deg
오늘 저녁 하늘은 빛나고 있어요
별들이 내게 눈웃음을 보내고 있어요
나는 달이 되어
달의 향기로 당신을 사랑하겠어요
내 목소리가 들리나요?
오늘밤 당신을 안아줄게요

Jeg elsker deg langt bortefra
Dikter alt du ikke sa
Lengter meg den mannen jeg vil ha
나는 당신을 저 멀리서 사랑하고 있어요
내가 말하지 않은 그 시는
내가 원하는 당신을 그리워 하는 것입니다

Det lyser på himmelen i kveld
Det er stjernene som blunker til deg
selv er jeg månen
og jeg elsker deg med duften fra et kinn
hører du stemmen min?
I natt holder jeg om deg
med en vind
오늘 저녁 하늘은 빛나고 있어요
별들이 내게 눈 웃음을 보내고 있어요
나는 달이 되어
달의 향기로 당신을 사랑하겠어요
내 목소리가 들리나요?
오늘 밤 당신을 안아줄게요
한 줄기 바람으로.

Your weak afterglow
Can't warm a heart in sorrow
The spark that is left behind
Can't light a troubled mind

Your fire I know
Can warm those bleak tomorrows
The dark must not enter in
So let the dance begin

Dance me, love
Dance me through the dark
Dance me, love
Dance me through the dark

We move to and fro
We beg or steal or borrow
A love that can fan the spark
And help us face the dark

Dance me, love
Dance me through the dark
Dance, my love
Dance me through the dark

Dance me, love
Dance me through the dark
Dance, my love
Dance me through the dark

Dance me, love
Dance me through the dark
Dance, my love
Dance me through the dark
Dance me through the dark

Why did he have to make such darkness out of blue
Ok there's sadness in his life he didn't get to choose
Why did he needed to feel a reassuring hand
Before he seemed to understand
You stumble free... or let it be

Too late I saw my words were cutting him in two
Saw him clutching at the straws he couldn't bear to lose
He said that given time he knew it would come right
And how he longed for warmth and light
So he could see how things should be

Then my feet left the ground
And my words became a string of sounds
He gave me that old sad look and fell in line
And at this sign
Everything I'd said just slipped from my mind
'cause my feet left the ground
So glad once more it's me he'd found
Got rid of the dark and clung to the blue
What more could I do
Everyone knew that I was dreaming

He and I can stay in this tiny patch of blue
They are so close together colours that we use
I just needed to hear him say he understands
Before I dare to show my hand
And stumble free... or let it be

When my feet left he ground
All my words became a string sounds
He gave me that old sad look and fell in line
And at this sign
Everything I'd said just slipped from my mind
'cause my feet left the ground
So glad once more it's me he'd found
Got rid of the dark and clung to the blue
What more could I do
Everyone knew that I was dreaming

Do nothing till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why people tear the seam of anyone's dream
Is over my head

Do nothing till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others you've heard
I haven't a chance

True, I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I'm untrue?
When we're apart, the words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you

Some kiss may cloud my memories
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothing till you hear it from me
And you never will

True, I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I'm untrue?
When we're apart, the words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you

Some kiss may cloud my memories
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothing till you hear it from me
And you never will
Oh please do nothing till you hear it from me
And you never will

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singin' in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me

Say nighty-night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm as blue as blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on dear (I linger on)
Still craving your kiss (craving your kiss)
I'm longing to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

I’m back to chasing light must be sure I keep in sight
How to change my lows to highs and how to make my sunsets rise


You help that spark to glow but if it fades well you just know
When to bide your time and when to breathe it back to life again


Follow, those dreams that seem so very far still a lot of good ones in the jar

We were always dreamers at heart




So safe within our walls we stay although the highway calls
Round and round in circle dance with nothing ever left to chance


Love and Life and music’s fine this dance is ours, yours and mine
Step by step we’ll find our feet hoping hearts will skip a beat ...and


Follow, those dreams that seem so very far still a lot of good ones in the jar

We were always dreamers at heart




You don’t have to tell me where you’re going if something’s wrong you know you’ve got a friend
I’ll learn to live with never-knowing when or if our roads will cross again





So below the stars above falling in and out of love letting go of shattered dreams knowing all’s not what it seems
Taking turns at being wrong knowing you and I belong in this castle that we share even though it’s built on air



Follow, those dreams that seem so very far still a lot of good ones in the jar
We were always dreamers at heart

Everytime we say goodbye
I die a little
Everytime we say goodbye
I wonder why a little
Why the gods above me
Who must be in the know
Think so little of me
They allow you to go

When you're near
There is such an air
Of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Everytime we say goodbye

When you're near
There is such an air
Of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Everytime we say goodbye

Sweetheart the night is growing cold
Sweetheart my love is still untold
A kiss that is never tasted
Forever and ever is wasted

For all we know
We may never meet again
Before you go, make this moment sweet again
We won't say good night until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand
And my heart will be in it
For all we know
This may only be a dream
We come and go like a ripple on a stream
So love me tonight, tomorrow is made for some
Tomorrow may never come
For all we know

I won't disown
Those things my heart has sown
The blame is mine alone
I made this fickle heart my own
But how am I supposed to see the stars
How am I supposed to see that far

I see the cost
Of all this heart has lost
And how those dice were tossed
In lives this fickle heart has crossed
But how am I supposed to see the stars
How am I supposed to see that far

How am I supposed to start
And change an ever changing heart
Light some corners of a mind
That isn't there for me to find
How am I supposed to see
The stars you say are meant for me
How am I supposed to praise
Those stars with eyes I cannot raise

Maybe I'm supposed to say
I'm walking tall on feet of clay
Resting only when I check
The albatross around my neck
How am I supposed to see
The stars you say are meant for me
How am I to see

But how can I
Who lent my heart the lie
Now lift up heart and eye
And may the fickle heart see sky
And how am I supposed to see the stars
How am I supposed to see that far

The storm that is underway is gonna rock that house of yours
Leaving you no place to hide
How are you gonna manage from then on
The wind that is but a moan will soon be howling at your door
You're tucked up safe inside
But are you gonna stay in till it's gone

You check locks and latches
And batten down hatches
But the gale will send flying all that it catches

How are you gonna deal with it, baby?
When everything you had got planned
Seems to come crashing down... there... before your eyes
How are you gonna deal with it, baby?
When everything gets out of hand... and all that once mattered
Is picked up and scattered
You're out in the cold
But you hold on and hope to survive

When the dust has all settled you'll find a way to survive
Still closed up or open wide
How are you gonna play it from now on
The storm has passed and you're relieved
Love's still alive
It could have curled up and died
There is no way to play it when it's gone

You check locks and latches
And batten down hatches
But the gale will send flying all that it catches

How are you gonna deal with it, baby?
When everything you had got planned
Seems to come crashing down... there... before your eyes
How are you gonna deal with it, baby?
When everything gets out of hand... and all that once mattered
Is picked up and scattered
You're out in the cold
But you hold on and hope to survive

There's no tender way to say
it's the end
And so win or lose
I am forced to choose
Between a lover
and a loving friend
Let me hear you say
How you curse the day
You opened up your heart to me
That you ever invited me in
Tell me I'm the loser
and you win
I don't want to see you cry
I beg you try
Not to let the pain
I'm causing reach your eyes
I don't want to see you cry
Aim your words like spears
Don't break me up
by breaking down in tears
Hide your pain but
when push comes to shove
Don't keep your pride
Locked deep inside
Rage against the dying
of my love
Don't sigh my name
Give me all the blame
Call me heartless call me cruel
And accuse me of dealing in lies
Just don't let my leaving
cloud your eyes
I don't want to see you cry
I beg you try
Not to let the pain
I'm causing reach your eyes
I don't want to see you cry
Aim your words like spears
Don't break me up
by breaking down in tears
Dreams come dreams go
Some fade some grow
Dream on dream on
You've got no dream on
After I've gone

I don't want to see you cry
I beg you try
Not to let the pain
I'm causing reach your eyes
I don't want to see you cry
Aim your words like spears
Don't break me up
by breaking down in tears
Don't break me up
by breaking down in tears

If you need somebody
Call my name
If you want someone
You can do the same
If you want to keep something precious
You've got to lock it up and throw away the key
If you want to hold onto your possession
Don't even think about me

If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone, set them free

If it's a mirror you want
Then look into my eyes
Or a whipping boy
Someone to despise
Or a prisoner in the dark
Tied up in chains you just can't see
Or a beast in a gilded cage
That's all some people ever want to be

If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone, set them free
Set them free

If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone, set them free
Set them free
Set them free

Free, free, set them free
Free, free, set them free
Free, free, set them free

In a sentence
I just had to fall
Run a risk at all
It all made sense
My heart did not control my head
This being said
Leaves little to tell

In a sentence
This is why I fell
This and so much more
Though young lovers have I known
Gone this road before
And have, like me, been just as sure
In a sentence
I'd say all is well

Might live to rue this day
But hope love's kinder than they say
Didn't plan a single move
Or a play a leading role
He found an alien heart
But at his touch that heart was whole
So what he means to me
Is far more than you see
In a sentence

What I feel for him
Is no passing wind
That's doomed to fade and die
I confess those knowing smile
It makes no odds, you see
In a sentence
I know he loves me

Can't cound the hours, blame the miles,
and say they keep me from your smile.
For you are here, no oceans lie,
between my lover's arms and I.
I see your smile, but where are you?
Why won't you dare to need me too?
I would bring you joy to light the way.
A ray of sun to thaw your days.
Please let me through.
I don't ask much, but the slightest touch, of Japanese Blue.
I beg of you.
My life is such, it needs a touch, of Japanese Blue.
I see that life has taken toll.
Your shattered dreams I can't make whole.
But let me through and I will stay.
Close by your side to comfort you.
Please let me through.
I don't ask much, but the slightest touch, of Japanese Blue.
I beg of you.
My life is such, it needs a touch, of Japanese Blue.

I keep on backing losers
The beggars not the choosers
I keep on backing losers
The beggars not the choosers

How come they always find me
Then turn my head and blind me
With tales of how they need to start anew
They feed but never feed me
I just cater for the needy
Tending broken hearts is what i do

I keep on backing losers
The beggars not the choosers
But I'm no longer buying
The sobbing and the sighing

I'm through with playing sister
Of mercy to the Misters
Who tell me that they're so misunderstood
And that being with me is giving
Them the strength to go on living
And that I alone can make them feel so good

I keep on backing losers
The beggars not the choosers
But I'm no longer buying
The sobbing and the sighing

Years
Of stroking heads and drying tears
Of being there to calm their fears
I've had enough I'm steering clear, clear, clear

What is the use of words
If they don´t make her seen or heard?
She watches dust to dust unstirred
Though left behind
She is too weak to grieve or blame us,
We who leave.

There is no hour of bliss
When ignorance can lead to this.
Don´t let the hand of time be kind
And smooth her gently from my mind.

Let me be troubled.
Let me be troubled.

Where on the road did I lose my way
Not knowing where it will wind?
How can I find that road?
I need to explain where I went amiss
And tell her I will save her from all of this...
From all of this.

These are the words of a fool
And heads not hearts must rule
I hear you say that minds can be so slow to see what hearts just know.

Let me be troubled.
Let me be troubled.

Where on the road did I lose my way
Not knowing where it will wind?
How can I find that road?
I need to explain where I went amiss
And tell her
I will save her from all of this...
From all of this.

Where on the road did I lose my way
Not knowing where it will wind?
How can I find that road?
I need to explain where I went amiss
And tell her
I will save her from all of this...
From all of this.

Let there be you.
Let there be me.
Let there be oysters under the sea.
Let there be wind,
an occasional rain.
Chile con Carne,
sparkling champagne.
Let there be birds
to sing in the trees.
Someone to bless me
whenever I sneeze.

Let there be googoos,
a lot of dove.
But first of all, please,
let there be love.

Oh love
Oh Woo
Let there be love~
Let there be love.

Let there be birds
to sing in the trees.
Someone to bless me
whenever I sneeze.

Let there be googoos,
a lot of dove.
But first of all, please,
let there be love.

Oh love
Oh ~
Let there be love
Let there be love.

Lullaby To Erle
by Silje Nergaard


Mothers have woven a black velvet ocean
and spread it between the night and day shores
so that children might sleep, gently rocked by the motion
of waves beneath boats built by fathers like yours

With you safe aboard by the shore we will linger
and watch as your breathing it fills up the sail
you loosen the moorings....your grip on our finger
and leave on the velvet a silvery trail

Alone on the shore with our hearts close to breaking
we stand in the wake as you glide from our reach
calmed by the thought that the voyage you're taking
will bring you at dawning back safe to this beach

We cannot sail with you, be there to guide you
or pilot your boat through the dark of the night
but no ocean cap keep you, no darkness can hide you
away from our love and its undying light.

There I go again I'm losing my head
You in the lead and me being led
Playing little girl lost, led by the nose by you
Do I feel late for two

Me oh my you chose little old me
To shower with love and sympathy
To have and to hold for as long as you decide
A false false pride

Lost girls can't find their way back
Boy it's hot time for payback
I'm gonna need them
I'm tired of being your plaything
Seeing everything your way

She put him through it
How could she do it
He won't forget it
She were to regret it

Flying solo..

Lost girls can't find their way back
Boy it's hot time for payback
I'm gonna need them
I'm tired of being your plaything
Seeing everything your way

So baby here I am
I'm falling from grace
A table for two, a smile on my face
I raise my glass high, drink to the plans you lay
And the role I'll never play
The role I'll never play
The role I'll never play

Now and then behind the rows
Of pearly teeth and fashion clothes
She sees them in the mirror-tiles
Trying on their latest smiles
Light and warmth from spotlight beams
Convincing them their nightmare is a dream

Now and then when they're at rest
Flocked in sleep in cuckoos' nests
Feeling safe no need to hide
She opens doors and windows wide
And poised upon her painted claws
She stretches out her gaudy wings and soars

Far away
Borne by the wind
She roams the sky
No one to say ... too low ... to high
Or count the lonely miles that she has flown
This world is hers alone

But then again behind the rows
She feels the piercing looks of those
Who watch her every move in case
She happens to forget her place
Who sum her up ... deny her flight
Aim their words and shoot her down on sight

Far away
Borne by the wind
She roams the sky
No one to stay ... too low ... too high
Or count the lonely miles that she has flown
This world is hers alone

(guitar solo)

Far away
Borne by the wind
She roams the sky
No one to stay ... too low ... too high
Or count the lonely miles.....

Far away
Borne by the wind
She roams the sky
No one to say ... too low ... too high
Or count the lonely miles that she has flown
This world is hers alone
