Tales of Hope 1

1. Too Soon
Just a boy of ten
Leaning on a fence.
His eyes are old, his face is set,
he lights a cigarette.Girl child sighs.
Baby wakes and cries.
Two kids to feed and a flat to clean
and she still in her teens.Too soon, too soon.
Too soon, too soon.The father of a friend
Met with an early end.
For later life he scraped his pay
But never saw the day.Too soon, too soon.
Too soon, too soon.And now my birthday´s here
I´m happy that the years
Allowed me time to grow up late,
To learn to let things wait,To let things wait...
Too soon, too soon.
Too soon, too soon. -
2. All through the Night
I´ve got my eyes on you.
It´s one of those things I love to do,
Just setting my eyes on you.When did I first see you?
Was is it in June or was it in Juli?
I just recall a blue blue summer sky.Even though you´re out of sight,
I feel you shining out.
Even though you´re out of sight,
I feel you by my side.All through the night
I feel your presence shining out.
All through the night
It´s you that I´m longing to hold me tight.
All through the night
And all through the day.When did I last see you?
Wasn´t it on a cold October day?
I just recall a day grey as grey.Even though you´re out of sight,
I feel you shining out.
Even though you´re out of sight,
I feel you by my side.All through the night
And all through the day. -
3. No Place better than Home
I went through the desert, too hot for me.
Just looking for someone, a wish to be free.
An old man with a camel he came up to me,
And this is what he said:There´s no place better than home.
No place better than home.
And so you´d better get on your feet, pack your bags
And head on home.I climbed up a mountain, really high.
Just looking for something up in the sky.
But a voice inside me just gave a sigh.
And this is what it said:There´s no place better than home.
No place better than home.
And so you´d better get on your feet, pack your bags
And head on home.It´s late in the morning in a hotel room.
There´s a cleaning lady with a pan and broom.
She sees me sleeping and her face fills with gloom.And I know she´s gonna say it, go on, just say it,
I can take it, I know the lyrics, she said:There´s no place better than home.
No place better than home.
No, no, no...there is reason to roam....
And so I did it, I got on my feet, packed my bags
And headed home.
I headed home.And now I´m home.
