Do I Know You?
Do I know you?
I don't know you
I don't know you
not at all
I only know you through her
through all her calls
Maybe we stumbled all over
one another
once upon a time
Maybe we did. Maybe we didn't
Still
I don't know you
not at all
I only know you through her
through all her calls
She tried to pin her shit on me
in order to set you free
Maybe we stumbled all over
one another
once upon a time
Maybe we did. Maybe we didn't
So
I don't know you
not at all
I only know you through her
through all her calls
Meditate on that

Throughout the Sun
To my son: David Lindskog.
Only minutes old
I held you, held you in my arms
And your hand held mine
throughout the sun, throughout the sun
You gave my heart strength throughout the sun
Only days old
I held you, held you in my arms
And your eyes met mine
throughout the sun, throughout the sun
You gave my mind light throughout the sun
Only weeks old
I held you, held you in my arms
And your smile met mine
throughout the sun, throughout the sun
You gave my soul wings throughout the sun
Only seconds old
I held you, held you in my arms
And your name was given
throughout the sun, throughout the sun
You fulfill my life beyond the galaxies
And I held you
I held you, I held you in my arms
throughout love
throughout love
throughout love

A cold man
There's a cold man walking
In the desert walking
I can se him walking
There's a cold man walking
His tired eyes are white
His legs are stunned
Not a sound
There's a hot wind running
In the desert running
I can see it running
There's a hot wind running
There's a cold man dying
In the desert dying
I can se him dying
There's a cold man dying
His tired eyes are blind
His throat is burning
Not a sound
There's a white sun shining
In the desert shining
I can see it shining
There's a white sun shining
There's a cold man drowning
In the desert drowning
I can see him drowning
There's a cold man drowning
His tired eyes has shut down
His mouth half open
Not a sound
There's a desert storm hiding
In the dunes hiding
I can see it hiding
There's a desert storm hiding
There's no more man walking
In the desert dying
I can se no one drowning
There's no more man walking

Black Hearts
Walking along the Shoreline
carrying a bottle of red wine
All darkened skies in umber will drag me down under
and your aura of purple brown clouds will
forever obscure my mind
My Black Heart is yearning & the tide is turning & the water is burning
Psyche is always off key, always off key
Staring at the sunset
Can't seem to lit my cigarett
All darkened skies in umber will drag me down under
and your spirit of white light heat will
forever obscure my mind
My Black Heart is yearning & the tide is turning & the water is burning
Psyche is always off key, always off key
Crucified in the white sand
emptying the bottle with my left hand
The darkened skies in umber will drag me down under
And your soul with a silver lining
And your soul
Will never shed light
On my
Mind
My Black Heart is yearning & the water is burning
The tide turns towards the water which burns & Black Hearts always slowly dying, always slowly crying, always hiding from prying eyes

So be It
My darling
If you don't remember me
leave me be
My darling set me free
Cause I'm one of the broken
in a broken world using
an unspoken language
So
My darling
If you don't feel me
leave me be
My darling set me free
Cause I'm one of the broken
in a broken world bruising
and left in anguish
So
My darling
If you don't need me
leave me be
Don't waste my time
just set me free

To Wear a Growing Heart Hurts Sometimes
You had me in your neighborhood
And slipped
Not once but three times
And I lay my love for you in my heart as I always do
A love for a love
And sometimes it hurts to wear a growing heart and then the day that I'll die
my heart will burst into sunflowers and roses raining all over you
cover you in petals of yellow and red
You had me in your hand
And slipped
Not once but four times
And I lay my love for you in my heart as I always do
A love for a love
And sometimes it hurts to wear a growing heart and then the day that I'll die
my heart will burst into sunflowers and roses raining all over you
cover you in petals of yellow and red
You had me in your pocket
And slipped
Not once but five times
And I lay my love for you in my heart as I always do
A love for a love
And sometimes it hurts to wear a growing heart and then the day that I'll die
my heart will burst into sunflowers and roses raining all over you
cover you in petals of yellow and red
in petals of red of yellow and red in red

You got the strangest eyes
You got the strangest eyes shifting
from the brightest lavender blue
to the blackest Buster Keaton Black.
When they change from asking to sorrow in seconds.
And I know all about your eyes. Your moods and your lack of trust.
Still I love the way you look at me with your
bright, light lavender blue eyes shining of amazement.
light lavender blue of amazement. lavender blue of amazement.
You got the strangest eyes shifting
from the brightest lavender blue
to the bluest midnight moon blue.
When they change from amaze to strenght in seconds.
And I know all about your eyes. Your moods and your lack of trust.
Still I love the way you smile with your
midnight blue eyes full of joy and fullfillment.
midnight blue eyes full of fullfillment. blue eyes full of fullfillment.
You got the strangest eyes shifting

No moore seasons
And the timless pain you are painting on my face
And the burning pain you planted in my veins
And my eys are fading into darkness
Burns
It burns my skin and seems to have no end
And my eys are fading into darkness
From the winter rain into may. From june into the first day of fall
And in the mornings I hang out my cotton pillowcase
to dry in the cold rain
Healing my self slowly in your abscent nearness
walking on a single road with no direction
out of tears I'm soon out of tears
And the timless pain you are painting on my face
And the burning pain you planted in my veins
And my eys are fading into darkness
Burns
It burns my skin and seems to have no end
And my eys are fading into darkness
From the winter rain into may. From june into the first day of fall
And in the mornings I hang out my cotton pillowcase
to dry in the hars sun
Healing my self slowly in your abscent nearness
running in the woods with no direction
out of tears I'm soon out of tears

Lulluby of Love
Struck by the heat of the Sun and
by the steady flame of the center of the Earth
And tonight I will dream as high as I can
kiss the light in your lavender blue eyes.
Struck by the scirocco wind of the dessert
and by the southing breeze of the meadow
Tonight I will dream as high as I can
reach the light in your lavender blue eyes.
I will dream.
And again I will dream as high as I ever can.
Ever and forever as high as I can.
And you're the thunder who broke the seal of heaven
and you're the silent rain
the silent rain at my window.

Square Room
In the square white room I will spred my arms like wings
in the dark corners of the night to shelter you from the cold
In the square white room I will spred my arms like wings
in the bright light of the day to shadow you from the heat
And I will spread my wings like Ikaros and fly high in the sky
And i will bury my fingers in the depth of the sun
And I will burn them
will burn them will burn them
Always, always Ikaros
In the square white room I will spred my arms like wings
in the noisy afternoon of the day to bring you my silence
In the square white room I will spread my arms like wings
in the afterburn of the night to bring you the song of birds
I will spread my wings beside you
I will spread my wings around you
And I will spread my wings like lucifer and dig deep in the dirt
And I will bury my fingers in the depth of hell
And I will burn them
will burn them willing to burn them
Always, always Ikaros

Circleshaped Garden
In the garden of circleshaped trees where the leaves
change from grey to green
it turns and it turns and it turns
In the garden of circleshaped trees where the leaves
change from green to red
it turns and it turns and it turns and it turns
and it turns into un unsilenced shed
where the blackness lingers
lingers over the circleshaped garden
In the garden of circleshaped trees where the leaves
change from red to white
it turns and it turns
and it turns into a shimmering, glittering noise in my head
a white fire in the circleshaped garden

The Beginning.
Thanks to a friend of mine, one my first lyrics still exists. (I have a habit to throw things away, bury them or burn them.) And it is now to be rerecorded by BeatCream who wrote the soundtrack from the beginning. 1985.
Out of Time
Walking up the stairs, it's nothing there but dark
Turning on the light. I can see no shine
Voices all around
Tearing my mind out of time
Searching for the key, got to get through the door
Finding out whats me. Glimpses of faces
Hands on my shoulders
Tearing my mind out of time
Silent rain outside, my footsteps to the streets
No one out to see. The killing in my head
The smell of the dead
Tearing my mind out of time
The killing in my head
Tearing my mind out of time
The killing in my head
