East Of The Sun
(Pål Waaktaar)
(cp. 1990 Warner Chappell Music Ltd)

Half of a letter, tells half a story
The way I see it, it's half the worry
Where I came from, I forgot too soon
East of the sun, and west of the moon

Money talks, and hey I'm listening
I've lived without it enough to miss it
Where I'm going I'll get there soon
East of the sun, west of the moon

I'm never gonna get the lady
You know I wanna get there soon
Never gonna get the bitter pain
The desert rose in bloom
East of the sun, and west of the moon

Another day leaves me aching
I try to wake up but something's breaking
Here inside me, deep and hollow
A sound that no other sound could follow
I know the pain, before the wound
East of the sun, and west of the moon
