Roxette – Turn Of The Tide

If you really need some water – pray for rain
If you’re waking up cold – make a fire inside
If you want a tree that leads to heaven – plant the seeds that grow
If you need something to believe in…
To the turn of the tide
To the glow of the moon
To the sound of the rain
To the sweet scent of dew
I’ve been walking alone
Thinking ’bout me and you
Love will never be easy – how hard I try
To cover up my crying, to wipe the tears from my eyes
If you really need somebody – I hope I’m close behind
To put my arms around your world
To the turn of the tide
To the glow of the moond
To the sound of the rain
To the sweet scent of dew
I’ve been walking alone
Thinking ’bout me and you
To the turn of the tide
To the glow of the moon
To the sound of the rain
To the sweet sweet scent of you
I’ve been walking alone
I’ve been thinking ’bout me and you

Roxette – The Weight Of The World

Sunday morning, I’m still hiding in bed
Listening to the rhythm of the rain above my head
And all that I have said
I sure saved a lot for you

But what could I do?
If I’d been talking to the wall
It wouldn’t make any difference to you
That’s the art of being you

I think I carry the weight of the world
Sometimes you lose
The weight of the world
Sometimes you cry

I kiss your smile
I wish you’d stay the night
I put my arms around your golden head
And turn out the light

Oh, I love to watch your eyes
When I make love to you
Wait little world
Sometimes you lose

The weight of the world
Sometimes you cry
Sometimes you cry

The weight of the world
Sometimes you lose
The weight of the world
Sometimes you cry
Sometimes you cry

Roxette – Stars

You keep on walkin’ on the other side
Other side, other side
You keep on walkin’ on the other side
Other side, other side
Wherever you go, I’m going with you
Shouldn’t you know I’m bound to follow
Whatever you say, whatever you do
I give you a clue, I’m gonna follow

And the stars will show
Where the waters flow
Where the gardens grow
That’s where I’ll meet you

Why don’t you let me, let me come along
Na na na, na na na
Why don’t you open, make me come along
Na na na, na na na
Wherever you go, I’m going for you
Oh, I was truly born to follow
Like fire and wood and paper and glue
Only a few were born to follow

And the stars will show
Where the waters flow
Where the gardens grow
That’s where I’ll meet you
And the sun will glow
Melting all the snow
Knowing all I know
That’s where I’ll meet you

Stars will show
Where the waters flow
Where the gardens grow
That’s where I’ll meet you
And the sun will glow
Melting all the snow
Knowing all I know
That’s where I’ll meet you

And the stars will show
Every breeze will blow
Knowing all I know
That’s where I’ll meet you

Roxette – Perfect Excuse

I wouldn’t come alone
I took my memories along
If there’s something that I’ve learned
You can’t deny the way
The past dictates each dawn
It’s not that I’m afraid
God knows I’ve made my set of rounds
It’s just the way it feels tonight
That makes me lose the plot
What’s really goin’ down
Too hot to handle
Too hard to lose
Fallin’ in love with you
Is a perfect excuse
You make me feel at ease
But I know the final show
If there’s something that I’ve learned
It’s better to have left
Before you have to go
It’s not that O’m afraid
God knows I’ve made my set of rounds
You got that twinkle in your eye
That makes me lose my grip
What’s really goin’ down
Too hot to handle
Too hard to lose
Fallin’ in love with you
Is a perfect excuse
Too many heartbeats
Hidin’ the truth
Fallin’ in love with you
Is a perfect excuse

Roxette – Me & You & Terry & Julie

Terry is an old teacher
He’s reading the paper in the church
Julie used to be famous
Portraying the bright-eyed Mother Earth
But how about you?
Do you want a love that lasts forever?
But how about you?
Do you want to spend the night together?
With someone so blue
That she doesn’t know what to do
Loves a big hole in her shoe
That’s the truth
How about you?
Terry’s folding the paper
And yawns at a Headline (cocking crew)
Julie thinks he’s a charmer
Cause hes got the proper attitude
But how about you?
Do you want a love that lasts forever?
But how about you?
Do you want to spend the night together
With someone so blue?
That she doesn’t know what to do
Loves a big stone in her shoe that’s the truth
How about you
Whooo yeah
Whooo yeah
But how about you?
Don’t you want a love that lasts forever?
Do you want to spend the night together
With someone so blue?
That she doesn’t know what to do
Loves a big thorn in her shoe that’s the truth
How about you?

Roxette – Lover, Lover, Lover

Could you show me what love is about?
Could you show me what love is about?
No clue, no key, just a scent of a doubt
Could you tell me what it’s all about?
And if you haven’t got the time
And if you haven’t got the time it’s alright
Oh I’ll try to find some other
Working undercover
I’m a Lover Lover Lover
Could you show me what life is about?
Could you show me what life is about?
What’s true to believe have a scent of a doubt
Could you tell me what it’s all about?
And if you haven’t got the time
If you don’t want to spend the time, bare in mind
That I heard you had discovered
Your  cover
I’m a Lover Lover Lover

Roxette – Excuse Me, Sir, Do You Want Me To Check On Your Wife?

The guy she married was an innocent man
A fake guitarist in an 80s band
He never knew when it got way out of hand with her love
She was a woman of the different kind
She had him looking where there’s nothing to find
He always wondered why he was willing to die for her love
Now, that was his life
“Excuse me, Sir, do you want me to check on your wife?”
Now, she’s doing fine!
I’m sure she’s doing alright…
He was the silent type that tried not to speak
She made him promises she tried not to keep
She only wanted him to sugar her tea with his love
Now, that was his life
“Excuse me, Sir, do you want me to check on your wife?”
No, she’s doing fine!
I’m sure she’s doing alright…

Roxette – Easy Way Out

This heart is sold very cheap to any loner
This heart is put up for sale by its owner
And it’s really a heart I could recommend
I promise I used to call it a friend
I take the easy way out
I’d like to find a way to take command
I guess I’ll take the easy way out
I try to find a way to understand
This heart of gold is in perfect condition
This heart is bold and chosen for a mission
And if it’s been broken – well no one can tell
‘Cause I know somebody who hides it so well
I take the easy way out
I’d like to find a way to make a stand
Don’t you know I’ll take the easy way out
And try to find a way to understand
I’ll take the easy way out
I’d love to find a way to take command
I guess know I’ll take the easy way out
And try to find a way to understand

Roxette – Angel Passing

She’s an angel passing through the room
(Would you like to know her?)
She’s an angel passing through my room
(Would you like to know her?)
The red settin’ sun feathers down in field of heather
Beautiful
She’s then and now, forever
When I ask I ask her for a dance
(Every time I see her)
We leave the beat, obey the laws of chance
(Every time I see her)
How sweet surprise – she wears it so it shows
She never hides her eyes
She wears it where it shows
She’s an angel passing through the room
Like an angel passing through the room
I wish I could save our souls alone and together
Beautiful
We’re then and now, forever
Forever

Roxette – Touched By The Hand Of God

See at eight o’clock I took the dog for a walk in the morning
I never really liked him but let’s keep that between you and me
I ran into this woman at a crowded café
There’s nothing else to say, she took my breath away
She said: I’m Prudence, I just came out to play outta charm school
How on earth could it be?
I’m touched by the hand of God
Really hard to believe
Hey, I’m touched by the hand of God
She’s got a mind set on me
Yeah, I’m blessed with the power of love
The power of love, yeah!
Heaven in her smile, I took a break for a while with good reason
Drowning in her eyes, I was mesmerized, I’m buried and gone
I guess my kind of talking was misplaced like hell
Just like the funky (Art Garfunkel)
Hey, sweet Prudence, you’re doing so well outta charm school
How on earth could it be?
I’m touched by the hand of God
Really hard to believe
Don’t you know I’m touched by the hand of God
She’s got a mind set on me
Yeah, I’m blessed with the power of love
The power of love, yeah!
She said she had a ’57 Chevrolet
There’s nothing more to say, she took my breath away
Hey, sweet Prudence, won’t you come out to play outta charm school?
