Northern Lights 04:08

Northern Lights © Eric Daum 2011 We stopped along the bridge, to see the city lights Infinite clouds hung low, filled the Swedish sky Our eyes met and we kissed sheltered by the failing light Faces flickered over your shoulder as the tunnelbana went by Caught in the Northern lights of this shining city Lost in the northern lights of your eyes they’re so pretty. We walked hand in hand, through the gardens of Drottningholm I took your photo and you took mine, balanced on a garden wall On the boat past Norrmallarstrand you pointed out your childhood home You squeezed my hand and kissed me then, I was ready for a fall The short time we had, on that lovely day, It was the only phrase I had, Min Kara, so I said it. You taught me to say, “Jag alskar dej” I couldn’t stand to see you sad, min kara, so I said it You brought me to the Station, for our last good bye Lost in the swirling crowd, I saw the sadness in your eyes You taught me one little phase I never felt I had a choice I said those words but you never heard the real meaning in my voice

Come With Me 04:33

Come with Me (c) Eric Daum 2011 Come with Me To the Light House at the end of the street Come with me To the Dark House where we used to meet Come with me ‘Tis a far far better thing That I do Come with me I was a far far better man When I had you When was the last time that I held you Do you remember the last time we kissed Come with Me We’ll recreate those ancient days Come to Me To my familiar arms you know you can’t stay away Come with me Do you remember the last thing you said Come to me Without you, I’d be better off dead When was the last time that I held you Do you remember the last time we kissed When was the last time I held you Do you remember the last time we kissed So long ago…

I’ve Been There (c) Eric Daum 2012 Everybody has some words of free advice Before you make that cut you better measure twice Compare your options to what you have today Just consider the price you’ll have to pay. I’ve seen defeat snatched from the jaws of victory I’ve seen a dreadnaught flounder on a placid sea I’ve spit out embers from a perfect love affair I know I’ve been there Hey, mian, I saw the way she looked at you And if I caught her eye I’d go crazy too Hell has no fury like a woman scorned No sweeter sorrow than the love that’s mourned I’ve seen defeat snatched from the jaws of victory I’ve seen a dreadnaught flounder on a gentle sea I’ve spit out embers from a perfect love affair I know I’ve been there

You Never Went to Girlschool 02:25
lyrics

Girlschool Eric Daum 2012 You never learned flirt And you don’t wear tight skirts You don’t play those girlish games You treat all the boys the same You never went to Girl School And you never learned what the bad girls do Dancing in your little black dress You’re so cute and I’m a mess Run your fingers through my hair Laugh at me like you don’t care You never went to Girl School And you never learned what the bad girls do You’ve got a gift, and you don’t use it You’ve got the goods and you don’t abuse it You could use those feminine wiles You could try a little feminine style You don’t shake you hips You don’t pout and purse your lips You won’t play hard to get You never want to kiss and pet You never went to Girl School And you never learned what the bad girls do

I want a girl like Brigette Bardot Eric Daum 2012 I want a girl who’s just like Brigette Bardot The Papparazzi would follow wherever we’d go Invitation to the Castle we’d make the scene Crazy for Love on every screen Oh the way she moves The Way she wiggles when she walks Oh the way grooves The way she giggles when she talks I want a girl who’s just like Brigette Bardot When God Created that Woman he threw out the mold A Private Life,, a Concert of Intrigue The Night Heaven Fell Come Dance with Me Oh the way she moves The Way she wiggles when she walks Oh the way grooves The way she giggles when she talks

Lamb to the Slaughter (Dogstar) © Eric Daum 2012 If you cry I’d be the one who comes for you Perhaps I’ll Stay To the end of the day Like a Lamb to the Slaughter Your horse led to water You’ll see I can be Anyone that you need If you call I’d be the one to answer you If you wander I can’t help but wait Like a Lamb to the Slaughter I’d follow your orders And You’ll see I can say all the things You want to hear If you need me I’d be the one who’s there for you Satisfy all your whims Won’t ask where you’ve been Like a Lamb to the Slaughter You're Time’s only daughter You’ll see I can be Anyone that you need If you beckon, I’d be the one to rush to you Like the Dogstar, The brightest star in the sky Like a Moth to a burning flame It’s driving me insane And I'll be Anyone that you need

An Alien Concept 04:02

An Alien Concept © Words by Carole Young and Eric Daum 2012 Falling in love again is an alien concept A childhood language I’ve forgotten how to speak There must be light ahead In the depths of this black hole A distant star that I’ve forgotten how to reach Darkness all around The nighttime shadows rise At times like these I could really use a friend The Ghosts of memories The time I spent with you The everlasting story finally comes to an end Being in love again is an alien concept I’ve forgotten what to do or what to say I wander through my days with no light to guide me If I light a match will the sparks burst into flame? Darkness all around The nighttime shadows rise At times like these I could really use a friend The ghosts of memories The times I spent with you The everlasting story finally comes to an end

Shadow Days Carole Young And Eric Daum 2011 The Years roll by There’s No need to ask why It's just the passage of time Natural ways Natural ways The past is gone The future won't be long Shadow days Shadow days. My friend, I am lonely too Break those chains –the chains that bind you Rise above Feel the love The past is gone The future won't be long Shadow days Shadow days.
