Peeling Off The Layers - Solveig Slettahjell

The river did come to me

Straight into my arms

I tried to hold it

But it just ran through my fingers

The ocean did come to me

Straight into my arms

I tried to caress it

But it ran through my fingers

Water will keep running

Rivers will turn

Water will keep running

Rivers will turn

Water will keep running

Rivers will turn

Water will keep running

Rivers will turn

So how can I ever find

What I’m looking for

When it’s been frozen

Stuck at the horizon

The wind blows from north to south

But I’m still where I was

Keep taking my shirts on

And taking them off

Peeling off the layers

Peeling it off

Peeling off the layers

Peeling it off

Peeling off the layers

Peeling it off

Peeling off the layers

Peeling it off

I wish I could find a cure

And to know my disease

But like nothing is certain

The circle will form a line

And that line will carry me

To the other side

That is looking just like this

With the same kind of open light

Everything is open

Leaking of life

Everything is open

Leaking of life

Everything is open

Leaking of life

Everything is open

Leaking of life
