Sally Song
Tekst/Melodi: Maria Solheim
Diving deep into the deep blue emotions
Trying to swim my way back to the shore
Where I used to dance before
I cannot quite recall what led me here
It is all a blur, it’s all to near
I hope time will make it clear
Oh, won’t you come, O Sally
Won’t you take me down
Into the morning valley
To the break of dawn,
Oh won’t you sing, O Sally
Through the winter storms
Call on my name and tell me
That there’s still hope for drunken souls
The water is muddy, my vision unclear
And my mixed emotions are making it hard to steer
There’s wind from the east, and breeze from the south
My compass is spinning, I am drifting further out
My voice is too weak to shout
Somewhere along the way I lost all courage to stand up for something
While I swim I start to sing,
My voice is low; it’s more like humming
Oh, won’t you come, O Sally
Won’t you take me down
Into the morning valley
To the break of dawn,
Oh won’t you sing, O Sally
Through the winter storms
Call on my name and tell me
That there’s still hope for drunken souls
Run Away
Tekst/Melodi: Maria Solheim
It scares me to let go of fear
It’s become a friend that I hold dear
And no one knows me more than him
Or so it seems, or so it seems
All though I cry and hide my face
I feel secure in his embrace
He loves me so
He needs me so
Or so it seems or so it seems
Run away, run away
From all your sadness
With a smile on your face
Run from all your sadness 2x
I do not like the changing winds
They are destroying things
Destroying things
Afraid to test my growing wings,
Will they carry me?
All though I know unchanging love,
I do not dare to trust its glow
Will it help me if my fear just grows?
Run away, run away
From all your sadness
With a smile on your face
Run from all your sadness 2x
When Grace Left Town
Tekst/Melodi: Maria Solheim
When Grace left town
They buried all her clothes
They burned her house to ruins
When Grace left town
When Grace left town
Her daughters’ disappeared
Their names were never mentioned
When Grace left town
When Grace left town
When Grace left town
The leaves began to fall
The whole town started trembling
When Grace left town
It’s such a shame
And we are all to blame
We knew but never fought it
When Grace left town
When Grace left town
And my heart was broken,
Yes my heart was broken
True words never spoken
And my heart was broken
When Grace left town
They buried all her clothes
They burned her house to ruins
When Grace left town
When Grace left town
Home Is Where The Heart Is
Tekst/Melodi: Maria Solheim
I followed you down to the station
It was so sad to see you leave
You embraced me and said
”Don’t be sorry, there is a time for everything”
Oh, don’t go please stay – Don’t leave me here alone
Oh, please stay, don’t go – Don’t leave me here alone
’Cause our time has just begun
The train left a minute to early
It was to late to change your mind
Though I knew you’d be back
I was crying
The last thing I saw was your smile
Oh, don’t go please stay – Don’t leave me here alone
Oh, please stay, don’t go – Don’t leave me here alone
’cause our time has just begun
Yes our time has just begun
Home is where the heart is
Home is where the heart is
Home is where the heart is
-And our time has just begun
Song Of Forgotten Songs
Tekst/Melodi: Maria Solheim
This is a song of forgotten times
Years that came and went to fast
Moments we did not use when time was there
Moments we did not know we had
This is a song of forgotten tears
People we did not care to see
Lying helpless by the road – Ignored by men
Who knew – but did not want to know
This is a song of forgotten words
Songs we did not dare to sing
Melodies appearing in our deepest sleep
Wake me up and lead me to the sound
The Break Up
Tekst/Melodi: Maria Solheim
Sun is down I stare into the mirror
Your words still ringing in my ears
All that we have is sorrow
I’m leaving you first thing tomorrow
Try to sleep – I hear you breath
You’re still next to me, but not for long
Try to reason, but it’s all unclear to me
So surreal
All that we have is sorrow
You are leaving me first thing tomorrow
It seems it’s out of my hands
You’ve made your decision
You want to be free
Where did we go wrong?
I thought that I knew you,
I thought we were fine
Before the bell wakes you up I kiss you one last time
All that we have is sorrow
You’re leaving me first thing tomorrow
Tomorrow
In the deep
Tekst/Melodi: Maria Solheim
In the very deep of the sea
Fish are swimming gently beside me
Showing me the riddles of life
Empty cans and bottles are sleeping in the night
Ooooo…
Sinking like a bag of stones
Music like I’ve never heard
Streaming from the cones
Octopus caressing me
My lungs are filled up
I’m free
Darkness fall
Darkness fall, surround me
Darkness fall
In the very deep of the sea
Fish are swimming gently beside me
Showing me the riddles of life
Empty cans and bottles are sleeping in the night
Ooooo…
Darkness fall
Darkness fall, surround me
Darkness fall
I’m diving, diving, diving
Oooooo…
Can I see you Again
Tekst/Melodi: Maria Solheim
The first snow has fallen. The temperature is rising.
Because you called me and asked me “come stay as a friend”
I pack my belongings and book the train ticket
And I ask in the mirror “will I be back again?”
The first time we met was a long time ago
You told me to trust you, and I did
But I was too young and I left you alone
I moved to the city, I found a new life there
I travelled and travelled and travelled again
But deep in my heart you were never forgotten
The warmth from your body,
The prints from your hand
I guess I thought it was all lost,
I heard you found a new friend,
but I gained new hope in your words
“Can I see you again?”
I try to think of the right words to say
As the train leads me closer to the place I want to stay
The present is clear, and the past is forgotten
As you hold me and kiss me and hold me again
And I whisper through tears “will you ever forgive me”
In your smile I can read I am more than a friend.
Dance With Me
Tekst/Melodi: Maria Solheim
It’s a clear and bright sweet morning
I put flowers in a vase
You come in you smile and plant
A kiss on my face
We’ve been longing for this moment
To finally have some time alone
We have signed the forms and papers
It’s written in stone
So dance, dance, dance with me honey
Tango if you can
I am yours and you are mine
Till the end of time
Even though I know there will be
Harder times and flying stones
I will keep you in my heart
You’re never alone
Be Well
Tekst/Melodi: Maria Solheim
Deep in your heart and your soul
Be well, be well
Your treasure is worth more than gold
Be well, be well
The winter is cold and the night
Has taken it’s toll on us all
I can not ask you for more
Be well, be well
Sinners and killers and whores,
Be well, be well
We all have a ghost in our soul
Be well, be well
Know that all hope is not lost
Know that the lion just growls
He can not bite you no more
Be well, be well
The Hill (bonus)
Tekst/Melodi: Maria Solheim
I know my story has begun
Into the magic land I run
I know that I will never find
My peace without the highest Son
Why oh why oh why should I
Even take the chance to try
My tears will never give me rest
Until my head sleeps at his chest
The ice has covered hands and feet
I melt as I can feel the heat
I try to hide I’m scared to feel
This love that force my knees to kneel
Why oh why oh why should I
Even take the chance to try
My tears will never give me rest
Until my head sleeps at his chest
