I grew up by the sea I played under the sun Come to me come into my dreams This is my light of life
Between the bluebells Sits a girl with blond braids A blue-eyed angel With strawberry cheeks The spell has bound me I was living a dream Norwegian homeland My heart belongs to you
I climbed mountains so high I discovered the deep Long to be long, long to be part of this dream This is where my heart beats
2. Tale Of The Sea Maid
Fantasies in my head I drift away to all seas Deep underneath the ocean I heard the tale of the sea maid
All this beauty It lights up my life I ride the waves To far-off seas And I lay on the golden sand I reflect the sun I make you dream
I glow with the silver light Thousand-and-one stars bright This labyrinth of life Takes me to your home shore
3. Ocean's Way
The way of the ocean Touch my heart like fire I cannot control you You have deeper layers
You're alive and you're wild When you're nearer to me I lean forward to touch you But you surprised me
When I lean against you I will only fall through Sometimes you seem to sleep Then a storm's coming through Fear the ocean's way
Ah should I fear you Are you caught in anger Gods cannot control you Winds make you go higher
If I swim to the ground I will need to go up You will turn me around When the storm's coming through
When the morning dawns bright I admire the silvery- ness inside you I look into this mirror
Ocean's way
The way of the ocean It's the waves rurled by the winds
4. Lovelorn
You are a wandering shining star You light up the sky, you take me so far (take me far) One crystal inside my lonely heart You light up my life, I embrace your light (you're my light)
[Chorus:] You're my healer I am lovelorn In the cool breeze I hear your sweet voice I'm your treasure I am forlorn In the rain I feel your warm tears
I can't forgive God and myself I should have been there to give you strength (be your strength) One kingdom below the dark blue sea Hides my lovely Amelie (I love you Amelie)
[Chorus]
Lovelorn you are gone, lovelorn Where is your home now Now you are gone, lovelorn
5. The Dream
Where do you sleep What do you dream What do you need To be free
I see a little island Where ebb and flow meet We curl up by the fire Your breath in my ear We've found our paradise Where fruits and flowers grow The ocean's ground is white Reflects the moonlight that glows
I cover you warm Fall asleep upon my chest I protect you from harm And I will quench your thirst
When do we meet Our love proceeds When you are here I am real too Ah ah
You're my queen You're my angel You're the love I breathe to live
You're my star You're my leading light You're the beauty I see at night
You're my queen You're my angel You're the dream I breathe to live
Where do you sleep What do you dream
6. Secret
I opened my eyes And greeted the new day I follow your path way To the secret of my pains
Can you free me From these unsafe grounds Secret tell me where did she drown
I'm moving away But captured in your chains I saw you in those waves Those eyes, such pain
My heart knows My mind knows I am torn My mind knows When you're gone I'm forelorn
7. For Amelie
Why don't you feel me Why can't I hold your hand (You) never said that you'd leave me and I know you are somewhere
I held you up Every time you were down Your crying stopped When I was around...but...
Why don't you love me? Enough to stay with me Now tell me truly Was it there in your heart too? All that I'm left with Is a dream of me and you
You filled my soul With your beauty and with hope We're different although We were just like water in sand
Why don't you feel me Why cant I hold your hand You never said that you'd leave me And I know you are somewhere
I held you close When you fell to the ground And now you've torn all my hope apart You could have said good-bye
8. Temptation
In my head I hear your voice Is this the voice of my master
In my chest I sense a spear Are these the looks of my mistress
In my head I hear your voice Why do I suffer
In my chest I sense a spear Why cant I see you
Have I become a bounden slave Shall I be lost in your spell
What do I fear Is this a dream
My bitter spirit Has become a burden
Lady fair Mistress of my dreams (temptation) Let us share Body, soul and sorrows
I rise and walk Into the waves Will you save me
You interrupt My intellect You take what you demand
9. Into Your Light
I've heard your song And I've seen the light In your eyes and it Took me so long to see Straight through the night And through you ah
You're the depths of my own mind And you're the heights of my creation Wait for me, wait for me
Alone but strong when you're in my sight Your love hit me like a stroke Take me with you Take me with you
Take me to that place ah Where I feel so safe ah Into your light I dive
I've taken this step And we're intimate now and I am I am joining your world A formation of love and you shine Through me
Into your light Enter my mind
Mermaid medium of light For the morning that comes For the orchid that grows Love me against all odds You defeated the doubt That was stuck inside me
Into your light I dive
10. Return To Life
Inside I feel life (aaah...) I rise into your light (aaah...)
I rise and leave the dream behind I'm returning to life Returning to life (ooh...) By the sound of your voice And the love that you give
I see - I have found How deep my roots have grown I rise and leave the dream behind
Your arms open I'm devoted In sunshine and shadow You love and protect me
I'm returning to life I am back in your arms Mother you give me hope When I'm cold and alone
