Diagnose
(Ove Ritola) I found my love
Then I lost it all
Now I'm losing myself
Now I think I need
Think I need help
From you
Lover
(Ove Ritola)
Lover, let your pain
Rush through me again
Cause I can't give you what you're after now
And time ain't on my side
Once again
So I pray for grace of your sweet patience
All my mistakes
All my heartaches
Will wash away
But not today
Today's the same
As yesterday
Lover, let your hair
Down slowly again
And care not what lies in the horizon
The weight on both our backs
Will be gone again
If you can keep the faith that you had before
All my mistakes
All my heartaches
Will wash away
But not today
Today's the same
As yesterday
Uneasy
(Ove Ritola)
I heard your voice again, heard it in a dream
Uneasy sleep I'm in, the kind it's hard to leave
You know how I like it
You know I want it now
You know where I'm staying at
You know you can come down
The space between my sheets, there's too much air to breathe
Dirty lights and autumn leaves, my only company
You know how I like it
You know I want it now
You know where I'm staying at
You know you can come down
I'll light you a candle every night
I'd love to see you in that light
You left traces all around
But those traces never got you found
Looking the other way whenever you got to me
And things just fade away and I forgot what it meant to be free
You know how I like it
You know I want it now
You know where I'm staying at
You know you can come down
Silence Makes Us Strong
(Ove Ritola)
Touch my life
In the thin air of a damp cold morning
Twilight tides
That wash away all sorrow
Shackled spines
Together close under a brand new dawning
Feeding time
For souls so hungry and hollow
Silence makes us strong
The night it seems so long
Broken chime
In the wind that blows through leafless branches
I stop trying
To resist, you'll lead, I'll follow
Now you're mine
I might be wrong but I'll take my chances
Rise and shine
They'll clip our wings tomorrow
We'll share this one last song
I'd love to sing along
But silence makes us strong
How could I be so wrong?
Boxing Day
(Ilkka Kujansivu)
Haven't heard about you since last December
I wonder what you're doing at the moment
I wonder who's in your arms right now
I gave you my heart and you took it with you
When you went away
Look what you did to me
I'm crushed in sorrow
I never felt like this before
I aching like there would be no tomorrow
I can't forget you anymore
Walked by your house just last week
That's the reason why I'm thinking 'bout you now
I wonder if I'm going to see you again
Will you recognize me and feel
Like you felt back then
Look what you did to me
I'm crushed in sorrow
I never felt like this before
I aching like there would be no tomorrow
I can't forget you anymore
Demons
(Ove Ritola)
Things you might keep inside
The secrets you may hide
Well babe I got mine too
And sometimes they do collide
No matter how hard we've tried
To keep 'em from falling through
Under city lights
You're never satisfied
Under neon lights
I'm never satisfied
Under moonlit skies tonight
Our demons intertwine
Give it another try
Then slip out another lie
Never know the right thing to do
The where, the who, the why
It's all etched in my mind
And it just don't make sense to you
Under city lights
You're never satisfied
Under neon lights
I'm never satisfied
Under moonlit skies tonight
Our demons intertwine
Under neon flashing signs
A kiss ends our last fight
It's all erased and gone
We'll start anew
Under city lights
You keep me satisfied
Under neon lights
I keep you satisfied
Under moonlit skies tonight
Our demons will subside
Beautifullest Lie
(Ove Ritola)
Scare me, tear me apart
Tame me, make me a part
Of your life
The beautifullest lie
Taking, breaking the crown
Staying, laying it down
So called proof
Of the beautifullest lie
Pine trees, black seas and stars
Summer, behind us, so scarred
Still I gaze
At the beautifullest lie
You Could Be the One
(Ilkka Kujansivu)
When I met you girl
I knew I never met anyone
Quite like you
I've been dreaming all my life
For someone like you
I heard you're lost, girl
You must be out there somewhere
But where I don't know
And I never will
Never will know
You could be the one
That I could let through
I heard your cries, girl
Somewhere in the distance it echoes
I'm following the sound
I'm coming after you
So long I've been searching
Why were you so hard to find
I cannot understand
You have something to hide
What it is I don't know
You could be the one
That I could let through
Stay Around
(Ilkka Kujansivu)
The light in your window
Tells me you're home
Maybe you're sitting there
With a brand new love affair
Your troubles far away
You should stay around
For a day or two
Or maybe just
For one night
You should stay around
For a night or two
Or maybe just
For one day
The shadows in the ceiling
They move much too slow
But even if you cannot see me
I know that you're home
And I'm left astray
You should stay around
For a day or two
Or maybe just
For one night
You should stay around
For a night or two
Or maybe just
For one day
And maybe you will stay
For just one day, just one day
And maybe you will leave
But my love's guaranteed
You should stay around
For a day or two
Or maybe just
For one night
You should stay around
For a night or two
Or maybe just
For one day
Before the Curtain Arrives
(Ove Ritola)
I'm trying to convey something grand
Still it all comes out kinda bland
I think I thought I had a chance
Did you take it away or did it slip right through my hands?
I hope I'll get through to you
Before the curtain arrives
Before the curtain arrives
So maybe this town's forgiven you
And maybe I've just given up on truth
And maybe that's why I'm beginning to see
That there must be an end to all this uncertainty
I hope that we'll see it through
Before the curtain arrives
Before the curtain arrives
There's time to make you happy
This time I won't forget a thing
And if there's time for you to spare
I swear
This time we'll fix everything
Before the curtain arrives
Try Again
(Julius Thölix/Ove Ritola)
