LYRICS
Here you will find the lyrics to Grains of Salts own songs.
THAT WE HAVE EACH OTHER
I have been haunted by what once was
And the picture of how everything should be
Here in the land of longing, you and I fall
And I can't defend myself
No, I can't see everything clearly
How all the pieces should fit together
But I know I want to and I know we can
If we are now traveling to a new country
Because nothing is impossible with you
Oh what does what is said and heard
All that waiting outside
As long as we know we have each other
That we have each other
See so much now that I have never seen
How I lived my life and constantly gave
But now you are here and take me as I am
I have left everything to be free
To find you and what we can be
Here in the room of longing I find your breath
Oh I know we want to and I know we can
And we are now traveling to a new country
Because nothing is impossible for us
Oh, what is said and heard
All that waiting outside
Because now we know that, that we have each other
That we have each other
​
EVERYTHING IS CLEAR
​
In the morning I will meet you
There along the road the one that leads home
In the morning you will look at me
And I'll know what I've always known
You take my hand and say Love
I've been waiting for you forever
Here beyond the yoke of time
Here is your home
Everything is ready everything is prepared
Along the paths I have glimpsed you
Where you lighted my way
Through thickets and over mountains
Along the paths the wind rustles
Have I heard your voice speak to me
You take my hand and say Love
I've been waiting for you forever
Here beyond the yoke of time
Here is your home
Everything is ready everything is prepared
In love I shall rest safe
Born again and free from what bound me
With love you break the boundaries
Not even death can separate me from you
So you take my hand and say Finally
I have longed for you forever
Here beyond the yoke of time
Here is your home
Everything is ready everything is prepared
THE HEART NEVER WAITS
​
Give me something to drink give me something for my thirst
I see mirages in the night, a longing fills my chest
Give me something to eat, now that hunger is riding me
I am faint from longing for the one who drives me towards you
Time never waits everything changes right now
As seasons change as stars burn out
Give me something to breathe something that soothes my soul
A trace of your closeness, that you are waiting here
Give me something to say Give me something to believe
I see stones in the stream that can become a bridge
Give me something to know now that no answers can be had
I can't imagine having such a hard time understanding
The heart never waits it changes right now
As seasons change, stars are born as before
Give me peace to stay so I can see everything clearly
That everything has a meaning, everything has an answer
The heart never waits it changes right now
As seasons change, stars are born as before
Give me peace to stay so I can see
everything ready
That everything has a meaning, everything has an answer
TOUCH OF THE MAKER
​
If I were to leave this garden
And my time was almost done
Like an early frosty autumn
with freezing winds that tear up bonds
Sure I'd look to see the sun rays
That never ending light
Breaking through the clouds of hardship
Just to warm me one more time
But there is a fire burning
That keeps me warm though out the night
A light to guide me through the darkness
There is a fire burning
Planted deep within my core
It's the touch it's the touch of the maker
I'd love to greet the morning
To see everything has grown
Hear the young birds singing
A song new they never knew
I'd love to drink the springtime
To Hear nature's laugh
But maybe I need to travel
Far beyond where seasons pass
SHADOW PLAY
​
If I could reach you here tonight
When the day see long moved
The party is over, the laughter is over
Just the light burning down
Down like the snow that falls so slowly
Puts the world to rest
I have sung my hosanna
Although I lack hope and faith
All I have left is a prayer
The light paints its shadow play
On my wall when the wind blows in
Through the crack in the crystal-clad window
I know your picture but want to see more
More like the snow that falls so slowly
Puts the world to rest
I have sung my hosanna
Although I lack hope and faith
All I have left is a prayer for love
I must sleep the thought flashes
Whatever happens, it has to go
Soon the clock ticks down
A new year I'm just cold
Cold as the snow that falls so slowly
Puts the world to rest
I might sing my hosanna
Maybe I dare to believe
Hoping for a time for love
FAIRYTALE OF CRYSTALS
​
Turn out the light, turn on the darkness
I'm color blind in this word of grey
Long gone is hope. long is my journey
To see the tone, of a brighter day
Winter days of gold all those sun kissed faces
The falling snow, crystals in the air
The world turns shape and form with painted colors and frosty diamonds in my lovers hair
I feel so cold, I feel tired
The howling wind keeps me awake
Chilling my bones, this roaring thunder
Don't even know if it's night or day
Winter days of gold all those sun kissed faces
The falling snow, crystals in the air
The world turns shape and form with painted colors and frosty diamonds in my lovers hair
You look at me, you know I struggle
I feel the warmth as you strike the match
The candle burns and feels it coming
Your shining light on my road ahead
​
Winter days of gold all those sun kissed faces
The falling snow, crystals in the air
The world turns shape and form with painted colors and frosty diamonds in my lovers hair
ADVENT SONG
The light has fled one last time
We tremble, in the time, when the night is long
Streets and roads seem deserted now
We strive, in the dark, in the shadows
In the trembling dark day
A whispering tone
A sound of the softest kind
Getting closer
In the trembling depths of the earth
Living a melody
A star rests by sleeping city
It shimmers, it watches at the line of the streets
In the city's gray striving
A hunch, look up, to the sky tonight
From the eternal light of the star
Rises a ton
out of the earth's vibration
Singing life
From the star's eternal shine
Hear a symphony
Blasting free
Flakes fall from the sky
Crystals, have adorned town and village
Desire grows in every house
It burns, it warms,
with shimmering light
From the eternal soul of the star
Rises a ton
out of the earth's vibration
Radiates life
From the star's eternal shine
Hear a symphony
Advent season
SUMMER HOUR
​
Here in everything as expected
Is the given course of life
Birds can be heard waking up here
In the new song of light
Right here in the longed for
Like resting under the snow
So life breaks through
All that was forgotten
Come summer time
Come to the grove of greenery
Swipe in over waiting fields
Come June light
Come fill the brook's noise
Carefree time now, summer time is here
Here among new colors
Hear deep breaths
A flower's fragrance it explodes
A person's disposition
Here among what arrived
In the meadow's full bloom
A dandelion's smallest down ball
Everything is wealth
Come summer time
Come to the grove of greenery
Sweep in over longing earth
Come June light
Come fill the noise of the soul
Carefree time now, summer time is here
​
LIFE THROUGH GLASS
​
I've always felt it on me
What no one else said
Saw in mother's eyes
when she said 'everything will be fine'
Have wondered so many times
Who determines the shape of life
All the walls that I bricked
To fit people's standards
So learn to imitate the dance
The one who can never be mine
I give up my soul for the chance
To become a person like you
Behind the glass I see life
Contours go by
So learn to imitate the dance
The one who can never be mine
When I'm sitting here in the kitchen
Hear a party outside
There will certainly be some kissing
Someone takes the role of charmer
Just the sound here in the distance
Makes my soul deeply weary
Like a riddle to be solved
In a language I've never heard
So learn to dance now my soul
Teach me how to live
If I play the role well
Then everything will be fine
Behind the glass I see life
What everyone else has
So learn to master the dance
The one who can never be mine
UNSAID WORDS CHRISTMAS SONG
I stand outside your house
I hope my courage last
The snow is silently falling
The night is full of stars
let them know my thoughts
mistakes are painfully calling
​
The world is cold, like the falling snow
But I found your heart and I hope you find mine
Christmas night is dark, for the lonely heart
Life is too short for unsaid words
Your face looks sad,
I love every line
words are so hard to find
Will you shut me out, will you let me in
All the things I've done I want undone
The world is cold, like the falling snow
But I found your heart and I hope you find mine
Christmas night is dark, for the lonely heart
Life is too short for unsaid words
THE UNIVERSE IN YOUR EYES
​
There is so much to say
About what happened in my life
Many thorns and sore knees
But I live and have risen again
There is so much I want to do
My heart burns in my chest
We take a step we dare
Here you have me, now I have you
Wherever you were despite a long long night
Our longing to show the way
The promise white and black when we both said yes
Where the road goes and where we reach
Is placed in our hands
Know there is a lot you want to say
And I want to hear everything you know
Beyond the words is a reality
I see a universe in your eyes
There is so much you want to do
I know your chest is burning
Take my hand we dare
Here you have me, now I have you
Wherever you were despite a long long night
Our longing to show the way
The promise white and black when we both said yes
Where the road goes and where we reach
Is placed in our hands
Here you have me, now I have you
Where the road goes and where we reach
Is here in our hands
