(morten harket/mags/pal waaktaar)

Donna found us in her slow and dreamy way
I can't hear a word the waiter says
She's looking older than the colour of her hair
She walks into the room too pleased to find me there
Me i'm touchy
Touchy you
Me i'm touchy
And you know what to do
Me i'm touchy
Touchy, touchy you
Me i'm touchy and you know what to do
Both of us together in a room by ourselves
I sneeze to look around, byt there's no escape
What can i do, what can i say
She's waiting for this moment to explain itself.
Me i'm touchy
Touchy you
Me i'm touchy
And you know what to do
Me i'm touchy
Touchy, touchy you
Touching love is the best i can do
Hey, this time you've gone too far
You know how touchy we are
Donna found me in her slow and dreamy way
Now she reads me what the paper say
The way she laughs and what i do
I'm waiting for this moment to explain itself through
Me i'm touchy...etc.

"night i left the city,
I dreamt of a wolf..."

He came from where the winds are cold
And truth is seen through keyholes
...strange longins never sleep
Now he's come where no hearts beat
Cry wolf
Time to worry
Cry wolf
Time to worry

You can start, but you cannot stop
You give in, but you can't give up
You can tell all your desperate jokes
To a world that puts
Love on hold
Cry wolf
Time to worry
Cry wolf
Time to worry now

...the sunken-in eyes
And the pain in his cries
A shape in the dark...
Cry wolf
Time to worry
Cry wolf
Time to worry now

here i am
And within the reach of my hands
She's sound asleep and she's sweeter now
Than thewildest dream could have seen her
And i watch her slipping away
Though i know i'll be hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the the lengths i'll go to
Hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the the lengths i'll go to
To find her again
Upon this my dreams are depending
Through the dark
I sense the pounding of her heart
Next to mine
She's the sweetest love i could find
So i guess i'll be hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the lengths i'll go to
High and low
High
Do you know what it means to love you
I'm hunting high and low
And now she's telling me she's got to go away
I'll always be hunting high and low
Hungry for you
Watch me tearing myself to pieces
Hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the lengths i'll go to
Oh! for you i'll be hunting high and low

He likes to have the morning paper's
Crossword solved
Words go up words come down
Forwards backwards twisted round

He grabs a pile of letters from a small suitcase
Disappears into an office
It's another working day

And his thoughts are full of strangers
Corridors of naked lights
And his mind once full of reason
Now there's more than meets the eye
Oh, a stranger's face he carries with him

He likes a bit of reading on the subway home
A distant radio whistling tunes that nobody knows
At home a house awaits him, he unlocks the door
Thinking once there was a sea here
But there never was a door

And his thoughts are full of strangers
And his eyes to numb to see
And nothing that he knows of
And nowhere where he's been
Was ever quite like this

And his thoughts...
And at heart
He's full of strangers
Dodging on his train of thought
Train of thought

(pal waaktaar/mags)

We got married on a cold mid-winter's morning
We said our lines
Then kissed
And it was over
Those pronouncements had such weight
I guess they made us hesitate
Hesitate
When she moved her hips
And swayed in my direction
I thought we could make it yet
And beat the isolation
But in that gentle dark
Man, we tore ourselves apart
Through fire and rain
Through wilderness and pain
Through the losses, through the gains
On love's roller coaster train
I call your name
Oh god...we used to laugh
Is the fire dying, babe
It hurts to ask
Let me hold you for awhile.

It wasn't the rain that washed away
Rinsed out the colours of your eyes
Putting the gun down on the bedside table
I must have realized;
It wasn't the rain
That made no difference
And i could have sworn it wasn't me
Yet i did it all so coldly
...almost slowly
Pain for all to see
Oh c'mon please now
Talk to me
Tell me; things i could find helpful
How can i stop now...
Is there nothing i can do
I have lost my way
I've been losing you

I can still hear our screams competing
You're hissing your s's like a snake
Now in the mirror stands
Half a man
I thought no one could break
It wasn't the rain
That made no difference
...nervously drumming on:run away
But i want the guilt to get me
Thoughts to wreck me
- preying on my mind
Please now
Talke to me
Tell me; things i could find helpful
For how can i stop now...
Is there nothing i can do
I have lost my way
I've been losing you

i'll never let you see
The way my broken heart is hurting me
I've got my pride and i know how to hide
All the sorrow and pain
I'll do my crying in the rain

If i wait for stormy skies
You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You'll never know that i still love you so
Only the heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Raindrops falling from heaven
Could never take away my misery
Since we're not together
I pray for stormy weather
To hide these tears i hope you'll never see

Someday when my crying's done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool
But till then, darling, you'll never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Since we're not together
I pray for stormy weather
To hide these tears i hope you'll never see

Someday when my crying's done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool
But till then, darling, you'll never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on t.v

Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me
To me...

I reached inside myself
And found nothing there
To ease the pressure off
My ever worried mind

All my powers waste away
I fear the crazed and lonely looks
The mirror's sending me
These days

Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on t.v

Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me

Please don't ask me to defend
The shamefull lowlands
Of the way i'm drifting
Gloomily through time
(touch me)

I reached inside myself today
(give all your love)
Thinking there's got to be some way
To keep the troubles distant

Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me
