i love you , i love you, goodbye chris barron once upon i time the bells were loud and clear the lights were in the tower so the ships in the night could steer now all is broken china and snatches of sweet song i love you, i love you, so long i love you, i love you, so long your lips they were my country your smile it was my flag the sunshine of your gladness made a ball gown of a rag now the flowers are dry and hanging where the stars we wished on fell i love you, i love you, farewell i love you, i love you, farewell some words you can use that you cannot even spell how can you lose a coin that you give to the wishing well [i guess i’ll always love you where our quivering kisses fell there’s still a little magic even in a broken spell] once we built a fire where the nightingale’s sweet tune turned nightmares into dreams turned winter into june now the sun is sinking slowly in the soft and sleepy sky i love you, i love you, goodbye i love you, i love you, goodbye i love you, i love you, goodbye

the seat of your pants by chris barron you’ll wake up before the dawn yesterday will be gone and you’ll realize everything you thought was wrong with your star behind a cloud your critics will be loud and you’ll have to sell your pretty soul for a song pick yourself up by the seat of the pants and ask yourself to dance ‘cause you’re old enough to know that you’re young enough to get a second chance when the lark is on the thorn you’ll be tossed from horn to horn awake enough to rue the day you were born and you’ll reach for the morning star from so far below the bar your fingertips so close and yet so far pick yourself up by the seat of the pants and ask yourself to dance ‘cause you’re old enough to know that you’re young enough to get a second chance it’s easy to fly when you’re already falling is that the wolf at the door or the sirens calling to low to crawl, to black to be blue back to the wall, nothing left to do pick yourself up by the seat of the pants and ask yourself to dance ‘cause you’re old enough to know that you’re young enough to get a second chance pick yourself up by the seat of the pants and ask yourself to dance ‘cause you’re old enough to know that you’re young enough to get a second chance

stone’s throw same place on a different day got to make your getaway so close and yet so far no matter where you go there you are stone’s throw from a million miles forever comes in little whiles stone’s throw and a window breaks little moves and big mistakes you keep throwing those stones around see how fast your glass house falls down stone’s throw and off she goes long way back from a stone’s throw curtain down that’s all she wrote tear in your eye, lump in your throat you might be lost, too sad to talk long way home time to walk stone’s throw from a million miles forever comes in little whiles stone’s throw and a window breaks little moves and big mistakes you keep throwing those stones around see how fast your glass house falls down stone’s throw and off she goes long way back from a stone’s throw more love lost than love you’re making heart’s mending faster than it’s breaking company only makes you lonelier could it be that it’s only a stone’s throw from a million miles forever comes in little whiles stone’s throw and a window breaks little moves and big mistakes you keep throwing those stones around see how fast your glass house falls down stone keeps rolling and off she goes long way back from a stone’s throw

Gone 03:27
gone by chris barron, erik røe, tobias stenkjaer and birger bekkeheien when the morning breaks it won’t outshine the fire the stars have used to show you that you’re tired and when the daylight backs away and the stars defeat the day i’ll be gone there are bridges left to cross and leave in flames and paths to leave all strewn with crushed remains let the lesson stay unlearned gonna leave this stone unturned ‘cause i’ll be gone when you lean into the night you’re the fire, you’re the light and me, i’ll be nowhere to be found i know that there will be a song for every broken heart and soul i know that there will be a coin to drop in every begging bowl but me, i’m going down in the sad and sighing music of the lyre we’re just embers in the ashes of desire and when the cloth has left the loom and sweet morning sweeps the room i’ll be gone ...to the valley where the storm clouds make the crown that weighs upon the head of the sky that’s like a gown on the lady who is weeping for the lost and orphaned dawn that is climbing in the window through the curtains that are drawn and i’ll be gone.
