Anna von Hausswolff - Sun Rise

Did you know the perfect life?
Did you get too much of it?
Can you hear the people sigh?
Whoa...
Do you know I'm alright?
Whoa...
Did you get her number right?
Whoa...
Did you miss the sun rise?
Whoa...
Can you see the river shine?
Whoa...
But can you feel the charm in it?
Whoa...
The men are walking by
Whoa...
But can you see them smile?
Whoa...
Is evergreen good smelling trees?
Whoa...
Can you smell me by now?
Whoa...
Seeing through a crack of life
Whoa...
Did you get it all right?

Anna von Hausswolff - Liturgy Of Light

Liturgy of light, I am going backwards
To be more precise: are we still here?
History of shame, I will not spell it
Liturgy of light, it's fading out

Well it's a hard life that we share
It's a hard life for us young ones
It's written all around

Some of it is true, but we can't see it
The news are full of faults, where's all the hope?
All together now: can we recite it?
Say liturgy of light, it's fading out

Well it's a hard life that we share
It's a hard life for us young ones
And it's a long road that we share
It's a long road for us young ones
It's written all around, all around
It's written all around, all around

Anna von Hausswolff - Harmonica

He left me in a day
He left me in a strange way
I knew he couldn't stay
But he left me, in a day

And as he lay down on his hospital bed
I play him a love song
The harmonica lies calmly in his hands
But he won't be playing for long
But I know all his songs

He left me in a day
He left me in a strange way
I knew he couldn't stay
But he left me, in just a day

And as he lay down on his hospital bed
I play him a love song
The harmonica lies calmly in his hands
But he won't be playing for long
But I know all his songs

Anna von Hausswolff - Mountains Crave

Mountains Crave
So they say
They say your name
Floods in the bay
It's a shame
It's a shame
The pain turn to rain
Ain't calming down
Will it calm down?
And as far as we go
We go down
Will we go down?
And as far as we know
How do we know?
How do we know?

And as a far as we can go
How far to go?
How far to go?
And the Mountains Crave
It's in your name
They'll vanish some day
With your name
How do we know?
How do we know?
How do we know?
Do we know?
How do we know?
How can we know?
How do we know?
... that love will go on

Anna von Hausswolff - Funeral For My Future Children

I’ll bury all my children
I’ll carry them to death
I’ll bury all my children
I’ll carry them to death

Oh, to linger in their stories
Exhausted by their weight
My milk is gray and bitter but I’ll
Carry them each day

To that day, woah woah
To that day, woah woah
To that day, woah woah
To that day, woah woah
