I AM LEAVING

(Lähden yksin)

1. Snow on the ground, snow all around

where we buried the past and the feelings we found.

Storms in the night, prayers for light,

wishes for wonders to make wrong turn right.

I may long for your touch once tender

but don’t think I’ll ever surrender.

I must try the taste of living

among those warm and forgiving,

I must change the ice for fire,

see the sun and feel desire.

Now I’m leaving, yes,I’m leaving, oh I’m leaving,

I am leaving.

2. Doubt in the air, mem’ries we share,

truth or illusion? I really don’t care!

This is my way, right or astray

I’ll manage, I’ll make it or else I must pay.

I may long for your touch once tender…

SOMEDAY

1. Morning sprinkles gold dust on the trees,

every step brings peace that we denied us.

Softly it caresses in the breeze

like a gentle power there to guide us.

Many are the eyes I meet

and only few I’ll really greet

but long ago we got the gift of smiling.

So here we walk through joy and strife,

thanks to the one who gave us life

when we’ve paid all that we owe

we travel safely where we all go someday,

someday, someday,

we travel safely where we all go someday.

2. Images of morning in my heart,

sounds of silence that I wish to borrow,

dreams I own from which I’ll never part

all I’m saving for a new tomorrow.

Many are the eyes I meet…

3. Day is slowly settling for the night,

to a land of dreams the twilight sends us.

Soon our thoughts are resting, safe and light,

waiting for the beauty morning lends us.

Many are the eyes I meet…
