HAGEN LYRICS

1. A Summer Air

Somewhere in the distance I can hear
A tune sweet and wistful a whispered air
In the arms of a soft breeze 'cross these desolate downs
As evening approaches when summer is young

And next comes the silence in the wake of the day
Then emptiness follows in darkness conveyed
On the wings of a soft breeze to these desolate downs
As the night settles in when summer is young

But life itself will reawake to the footsteps of the dawn
The breeze now bears its silver rays
The earth lets up a yawn
Receive that breeze with all your soul and maybe you will hear
A wistful summer air

[Music and lyrics: Hans Lundin. Interpretation of the Swedish lyrics: Kevin Fickling]

2. For Kristina

3. Sundown

Sundown hurry on my way
Sundown please come back and stay
Sundown satisfy my need
Sundown set me free

Spare my weary eyes
From the blinding lights
Let the full moon rise
Bring on the night

Sundown take away the pain
Sundown make me whole again
Sundown I move better in the dark
Sundown put out the spark

Spare my weary eyes
From the blinding lights
Let the full moon rise
I am waiting
Waiting for the night
Oh dim the lights

[Music: Anders Rosen, Hans Rosen, Per Nilsson, Michael Ohlsson. Lyrics: Michael Ohlsson. Arrangement: Anders Rosen, Hans Rosen, Per Nilsson]

4. Mother Nature

Mother nature can comfort and lead us
Can shelter and feed us
But she doesn't need us
Mother nature can cheat and mistreat us
Destroy and defeat us
'Cause she doesn't need us

Mother nature can shelter and feed us
Or kill and defeat us
'Cause she doesn't need us
Mother nature doesn't need us
Mother nature doesn't heed us

Up and down and round and round we spin
Like dust in the wind
Up and down and round and round we spin
Like dust in the wind

[Music: Anders Rosen, Hans Rosen, Michael Ohlsson. Lyrics: Michael Ohlsson. Arrangement: Anders Rosen, Hans Rosen, Per Nilsson]

5. Questions

Do you believe in antichrist do you believe in God
Do you consider your pen as your sword or do you require blood
Is love always for sale is money the tie that binds
Would you sell your soul for fame or go down for the secrets divine
I would sell my soul for:

Satan or Jesus is it really all the same
Whatever we believe in we continue to kill in vain

Do you wanna be true to yourself or cheat and lie to get by
Do you drive in the fast lane never slowing down to ask why
Why are we living tell me what's the deal
Is this heaven or hell I don't know what to feel
Right now I feel like:very:

The good against the evil I don't know which way to choose
Satan or Jesus I get so confused

[Music: Hans Rosen, Michael Ohlsson. Lyrics: Michael Ohlsson. Arrangement: Hans Rosen, Per Nilsson]

6. The Northwinds Blow

My love is gone across the ocean
Sailed away across the sea
We made a vow said we'll make it somehow
I guess it wasn't meant to be

The northwinds blow time passes by so slow
And in my weary heart it's autumn forever more

My love is gone beyond the mountains
She's locked the door to my heart
And thrown away the key
You know we made a vow said we'll make it somehow
I guess her promise wasn't made for me

The northwinds blow time passes by so slow
And in my weary heart it's autumn forever more
The northwinds blow time passes by so slow
And in my weary heart it's autumn forever more

My love is gone across the ocean
Sailed away across the sea
We made a vow said we'll make it somehow
I guess it wasn't meant to be

The northwinds blow time passes by so slow
And in my weary heart it's autumn forever more
The northwinds blow time passes by so slow
And in my weary heart it's autumn forever more

[Music: Hans Rosen. Lyrics: Michael Ohlsson. Arrangement: Hans Rosen, Per Nilsson, Michael Ohlsson]

7. Mountain Song

8. Nobody's Listening

Walking through silent corridors of time while the sun is going down
Echoes of the blind mans rage steals away the light
And a wild dog cries in the dead of night

Walking through silent corridors of time while the sun is going down
Echoes of forgotten songs steals the silence away
And the musical box begins to play

Walking through silent corridors of time while the sun is going down
Echoes of the blind mans rage steals away the light
And the future dies in the dead of night

You are the blind man rage is flowing in your blood
The good things in life you cannot see you're waiting for the flood
I am the forgotten song nobody can recall
Got harmony rhyme and reason but you're not listening at all
Oh no you're not listening

You are the blind man rage is flowing in your blood
The good things in life you cannot see you're waiting for the flood
I am the forgotten song nobody can recall
I'm peaceful fair and decent but you're not listening at all
No, no nobody's listening
No you're not listening at all

Nobody's listening
Nobody's listening
Nobody's listening at all

Nobody's listening
Nobody's listening
Nobody's listening at all

[Music: Anders Rosen, Michael Ohlsson. Lyrics: Michael Ohlsson. Arrangement: Anders Rosen, Hans Rosen, Patrik Jansson]

9. Sweet Tender Sofie

Sweet tender Sofie
Tell me what you're doing to me
I hear your voice clear and loud
I see your face in every cloud

Is there anything I can do to get through to you
Is there anything I can say anyway
Oh girl I think you know that I love you so
Oh girl I think you know that I love you so

Sweet tender Sofie
I'm a fool for your loving can't you see
You break my heart but I kind of enjoy the pain
Oh pretty baby you're driving me insane

Is there anything I can do to get through to you
Is there anything I can say anyway
Is there anything I can do to get through to you
Is there anything I can say anyway
Oh girl I think you know that I love you so
Oh girl I think you know that I love you so

[Music: Anders Rosen, Hans Rosen, Per Nilsson, Patrik Jansson, Michael Ohlsson. Lyrics: Michael Ohlsson. Arrangement: Anders Rosen, Hans Rosen, Per Nilsson, Patrik Jansson. Based on a polska as played by Per Loof]

10. For Ulf

11. June

The sun shines on my pillow as the dawn is breaking through
The birds are singing merrily but I'm forever blue
Blue for you

It's June outside my window November in my heart
If only we could try again and make a brand new start
'Cause I'm tired of feeling lonely so tired of feeling blue
Can't face another morning just can't go on without you

I've told you that I'm sorry
I've tried to understand
For your love I'd do everything
Your wish is my command
I've told you I will follow
Anytime and anywhere
I'll beg and steal and borrow
Just to show how much I care
I've told you that I love you
And my love goes on and on
I will love you true forever
'Til the day of Kingdome come
But oh why did you go
Leaving me sore wondering
Oh why did you go
Leaving me sore wondering why

[Music: Anders Rosen, Hans Rosen, Michael Ohlsson. Lyrics: Michael Ohlsson. Arrangement: Anders Rosen, Hans Rosen]

12. Afraid

Kenny was afraid to die just like many a troubled kid
Kenny was afraid to die even more afraid to live
Kenny was afraid to cry so he stayed away from love
Kenny was afraid to fly he burned the feathers of the helpless dove

One fatal night he felt a desire he could not resist
Kenny was afraid to die so he finally cut his wrists

Jenny was afraid to ask so she never said a word
Jenny was afraid to ask 'cause the answer she'd get might hurt
Jenny was afraid to show what she really felt inside
Jenny didn't want them to know she was to be the reaper's bride

One fatal night she felt a desire she could not resist
Jenny was afraid to die so she finally cut his wrists

Kenny was afraid to die just like many a troubled kid
Kenny was afraid to die even more afraid to live
Kenny was afraid to cry so he stayed away from love
Kenny was afraid to fly he burned the feathers of the helpless dove

One fatal night he felt a desire he could not resist
Kenny was afraid to die so he finally cut his wrists

Kenny was afraid to die to overcome his fear he did

[Music: Anders Rosen, Michael Ohlsson. Lyrics: Michael Ohlsson. Arrangement: Anders Rosen, Hans Rosen, Hans Lundin]

13. Remember

Remember us when you hear this song in a hundred years or more
Just think of us as we think about you and you'll see that we're not gone

Smile with us and we'll sing for you
The song will last and we will too
Smile with us and you'll see it's true
The song will last and we will too
Yes we will too

Remember us when you hear this song remember us long gone
Just think about us and we'll think about you united in this song

Love is what matters the power that gathers
Love is what matters the power that gathers

[Music and lyrics: Hans Rosen. Arrangement: Hans Rosen. Per Nilsson]

14. Dragonfly Dance
