Garota

Erlend Øye

7

There is only so much juice

You can suck out of a fruit

And the color changes fastWhen an apple′s cut in half

Every ladder ends somewhere

Better climb its steps with care

I'll be the one that waits too long

Turns around and finds it′s gone

Choose the life you want to live

Give the love you want to give

Take the moment when it comes

Let it lead you let it run

Feel the moisture in the air

Feel the fingers through your hair

Don't be shy when asking too

Be that way you always were meant to

You say that life is long

You took the words

Out of my mind

Life is long and world is small

Our paths will cross

Some other time

Given shelter blessed by rain

To our common unknown aim

From the north side of the town

To the south where we lay down

Under floodlights buckled stars

Without people without cars

When I ask you without sound

Will you answer without words

Through the moonlight sweeping down

When you close your eyes you're fine

You can prophesize the steps

You can visualize the maps

If you act upon it when

There′s no trace of doubt within

When your heart is freshly stunned

You cannot fail you cannot act long

You say that life is long

You took the words

Out of my mind

Life is long and world is small

Our paths will cross

Some other time

You say that life is long

You took the words

Out of my mind

Life is long and world is small

Our paths will cross

Some other time
