CRY SOFTLY (TIME IS MOURNING)
(Tim Norell – Björn Håkanson)
From “CUTTING CORNERS” (1982)
Fingers walk the edge of time
We don't know just how to taste it
Like a blue and wailing song
Our time runs in
And then runs out - wasted
Rubbing sleep out of your eyes
Waking up to find me calling.
Let's not wait or take too long
The castle you once built so strong is falling
Cry softly time is mourning
Longing for you at the dawning.
Baby dreams will last forever.
Tell me your heart is burning
Knowing that the tide is turning
Baby dreams will last forever
Forever
See the night pass in my eyes
Feel the pain inside me crying.
Like a blue and wailing song
Out time runs in
And then runs out - dying.
Cry softly time is mourning
Longing for you at the dawning.
Baby dreams will last forever.
Tell me your heart is burning
Knowing that the tide is turning
Baby dreams will last forever
Forever...

IF I TRY
(Tim Norell – Björn Håkanson)
From “CUTTING CORNERS” (1982)
Questions never described
I’m on my feet and flyin’ high
That is a lie
If you know what I mean
Just stand up and tap the tambourine
Sign on to the team
Time is right
And no one’s ever wrong
At least not all the time
Late at night
I wish I knew today
What else I left behind
It’s just that if I try
Never give it up
If I try
Oh-oh-oh
Holding on to you
Won’t you tell me not to worry
If I try
Never give it up
If I try
Would I lie to you?
Answers runnin’ around
I’ll pay the cost and turn them down
If they are found
Outside mapping the stars
Diamond girls are playin’ cheap guitars
Showing off their scarves
Rendez-vous
And I’ll be seeing you
If you don’t stop and stare
After you
I think I rather stick around and play in here
It’s just that...

LIKE A MORNING SONG
(Tim Norell – Björn Håkanson)
From “CUTTING CORNERS” (1982)
Down the back streets of my mind
Some old friends get left behind
But I'll never leave you there
I will always be there
Should I wake up some morning at dawn
I will call your name {yes / as} every single time
And I'll go on chasing a dream
I will call your name {yes / as} every single time
Like a morning song
Someone singing "Woah-oh I miss you"
A morning song
Slowly fading "Woah-oh I miss you"
And the echo calling out your name to me
And the footsteps you might hear
Floating softly in the air
It's me running through your mind
If you look back in time
Should you wake up some morning afraid
You can call my name, {my needle’ll turn out right}
Now I know the meaning of love
I just call your name {yes / as} every single night
Like a morning song
Someone singing "Woah-oh I miss you"
A morning song
Slowly fading "Woah-oh I miss you"
And the echo calling out your name to me

You can call my name, {my needle’ll turn out right}
