Memories Of A Color

Stina Nordenstam Memories Of A Color歌詞
1.His song

...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'll 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'd 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

I'm thru with travelling
I know 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

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


2.He watches her from behind

He watches her from behind
As she walks across the floor
Doesn't move, no
But his eyes caress her shoulders
While the coffee he bought gets cold

He watches her from behind
So she knows and she won't turn
But her hands shake
It's a shame she won't see the smile he wears
Cause it's only for her he smiles

I guess I knew from the start
He wouldn't play the main part
I guess I knew all along
He would appear in this song

Pretending this is a film
Now a close-up on her neck
And some soft lights
But the film will no reveal her voice
Cause this script doesn't have any lines

I guess I knew from the start
He wouldn't play the main part
I guess I knew all along
He would appear in this song

He watches her from behind
While her girlfriend gives advice
Doesn't listen
But her mind's obsessed with one desire
How she wants him to see her face

He watches her from behind
And that's all there'll ever be
And don't blame her
Another life or some other cafe
And they just might have found a way

I guess I knew from the start
He wouldn't play the main part
I guess I knew all along
He would appear in this song


3.The return of Alan Bean

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 travelling 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 that they wanted to do
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 touch the moon if you don't wanna realise

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


4.I'll be cryin' for you

...but I'll save my dreams till I get old
I might need them some day
And I stay awake till the morning comes
I won't be waiting for them today, no

I'll be cryin' for you
I'll be cryin' for you

It's all very beautiful and quite sad
How I keep talking about you
It seems I could lose all I ever had
Except for my thoughts about me and you

I guess it's true what my sister said
When it's all fine it is just a bore
Well she needs an extra smoke
to help her through the day
It's her problem here is what I do

I'll be cryin'...

Now I wouldn't mind being on your knee
But you said no and it's fine with me baby
I'm not taking chances oh no not me
This is the way it'll have to be

I guess it's true what my sister said
Not giving up though I said I would
Cause there's really only one thing I know how to do
You know now here is what I do

I'll be cryin'...

...but I'll save my dreams till I get old
I might need them some day
And I stay awake till the morning comes
I won't be waiting for them today


5.Soon after Christmas

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...

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


6.Alone at night

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 any more
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


7.Memories of a colour

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


8.A walk in the park

Chrios was five when her mother died
She was the only child
Her mother used to say I'd spoil her too much
She was my joy and pride
Seems like yesterday ... I hear her voice
Five hours left to go:
'Won't you let me, well you know I can drive
Please let me take your car
Won't you please let me take your car'

Two policemen in the car behind
Not on duty but they stopped
And just before the car caught fire
Bravely they pulled her off
Now days grow warmer Chris and spring is here
You'll see it with my eyes
If I were you Chrissie I'd rather not
Take this to stay alive
No I would rather die

One of these days when the sun shines
We'll go outside
And listen to the birds in the park


9.Another Story Girl

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 town
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...

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 town
Leaving no traces
It's another story
Another story
Another story girl
