Hunting High And Low

A-Ha Hunting High And Low Lyrics
1.Take On Me

Lyrics:Pal Waaktaar/Magne Furuholmen/Morten Harket
Music:Palwaaktaar/Magne Furuholmen/Morten Harket

Talking away
I don't know what
I'm to say I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, ok?

Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two

So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But that's me stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is ok.
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry

Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two

Oh the things that you say
Is it live or just to play
my worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two


2.Train Of Thought

Lyrics:Pal Waaktaar
Music:Pal Waaktaar

He likes to have the morning paper's
Crossword solved
Words go up words come down
Forwards backwards twisted round
He grabs a pile of letters from a small suitcase
Disappears into an office
It's another working day

And his thoughts are full of strangers
Corridors of naked lights
And his mind once full of reason
Now there's more than meets the eye
Now, a stranger's face he carries with him

He likes a bit of reading on the subway home
A distant radio's whistling tunes that nobody knows
At home a house awaits him, he unlocks the door
Thinking once there was a sea here
But there never was a door

And his thoughts are full of strangers
And his eyes too numb to see
And nothing that he knows of
And nowhere where he's been
Was never quite like this

And his thoughts are full of strangers
Corridors of naked lights
And his mind once full of reason
Now there's more than meets the eye
Now, a stranger's face he carries with him

And at heart
He's full of strangers
Dodging on his train of thought
Train of thought


3.Hunting High And Low

Lyrics:Pal Waaktaar
Music:Palwaaktaar

Here I am
And within the reach of my hand
She's sound asleep and she's sweeter now
Than my wildest dream could have seen her
And I watch her slipping away
But I know I'll be

Hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to
Hunting high and low
High
There's no end to lengths I'll go

To find her again
Upon this my dreams are depending
Through the dark
I sense the pounding of her heart
Next to mine
She's the sweetest love I could find
So I guess I'll be

Hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to
Hunting High and Low
High
Do you know what it means to love you

I'm hunting high and low
And now she's telling me
She's got to go away

I'll always be hunting high and low
Only for you
Watching me tearing myself to pieces
Hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to
Oh, for you I'll be hunting high and low


4.The Blue Sky

Lyrics:Pal Waaktaar
Music:Pal Waaktaar

Oh I find it hard to breathe
As life just eats away
At the faces that surround me
They look tired today
The lady at my table
Doesn't want me here
I just want to talk to her

But would she laugh at my accent
And make fun of me
Oh it doesn't seem like this
Blue sky's here for me

There are no girls in here
As far as I can see
Only pin-up posters
Looking down at me
Watching papercups of coffee
Growing cold before my eyes
All the things I see
That make me realise

I'm in this big world without you
Nothing to my name
Oh I never knew that
Blue sky meant such pain

I'm dying to be different
In the coffee shop
I've lived on borrowed strength
Now my supplies are cut
Though i'm older than my looks
And older than my years
I'm too young to take on
My deepest fears

Oh, I used to be confused
But now I just don't know
Since you left I've been watching
Blue skies come and go


5.Living A Boy's Adventure Tale

Written:Pal Waaktaar/Morten Harket

I've fixed my dwelling for the night
Lights in pairs come passing by
where I hide
I need some time now on my own
Leave my loneliness alone
To lick my wounds
Night has found me just in time
To help me close my eyes
One more time

Living a boy's adventure tale
In so many ways
Living a boy's adventure tale
For so many days
I'm living a boy's adventure tale
Can't escape, if I wanted to
Living a boy's adventure tale
I may be dreaming but I feel awake

I've been lost in so many places
Seeked love in so many faces
A change of weather,
The rain pours down
My head in hands,
Pressed to the ground
And where am I supposed to go now

Living a boy's adventure tale
In so many ways
Living a boy's adventure tale
Living a boy's adventure tale
a voice I hear
Living a boy's adventure tale
Singing a lullaby for me

Living a boy's adventure tale
Because of you
Living a boy's adventure tale
Oh you know it's true
I'm living a boy's adventure tale
In so many ways
For so many days
So many ways


6.The Sun Always Shines On T.V.

Lyrics:Pal Waaktaar
Music:Pal Waaktaar

Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on T.V.
Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me
To me...

I reached inside myself
And found nothing there
To ease the pressure off
My ever worrying mind
All my powers waste away
I fear the crazed and lonely looks
The mirror's sending me these days
Please don't ask me to defend
The shameful lowlands
Of the way I'm drifting
Gloomily through time
I reached inside myself today
Thinking there's got to be some way
To keep my troubles distant

Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on TV
Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me


7.And You Tell Me

Lyrics:Pal Waaktaar
Music:Pal Waaktaar

Please don't hurt me
I have told you
All my love is all i've got
And tomorrow is the day
When I, for your sake
I'm coming back

And you tell me
That i don't love you

I'm trying hard to make you jealous
Trying harder to make you stay
Days are longer
And nights are crazy
It's so strange when you're away

And you tell me
That i don't love you

Because I love you
I will show you
All the faces my love can have

So please
Let me come to you
And stay this time

And you tell me
That I don't love you
Oh you know
That it's just not true


8.Love Is Reason

Written:Pal Waaktaar/Magne Furuholmen

My breath was coming fast
And as i make a start
You turn to go
oh, oh
I'll do what you want me to
I'll cry at the thought of the loss of a heart

Love is reason
Love is reason
Love is reason
Love is reason enough

My morals are changing fast
I told you it wouldn't last
You turn and go
oh, oh
I'll be what you want me to be
I'd die at the thought of the loss of your heart

Love is reason
Love is reason
Love is reason
Love is reason enough


9.I Dream My Self Alive

Lyrics:Pal Waaktaar
Music:Pal Waaktaar

Dream my self alive
I dream my self alive
But you can't deny
There's something dark
Against the light
All i can say
It doesn't have to be this way
We'll be chasing our tails madly
See days pass like wildfire
Right from the start
I knew this world would break my heart

I dream my self alive
Dream my self alive
I dream my self alive
Break my heart
And dream my self alive
What can it mean

I'm drawing pictures of the sea
Right from the start
I knew this girl would break my heart

Dream my self alive
Dream my self alive
I dream my self alive
Dream my self alive
Dream my self alive
I dream my self alive


10.Here I Stand And Face The Rain

Lyrics:Pal Waaktaar
Music:Pal Waaktaar

Help me
I need your love
Don't walk away
The dark scares me so
We're nothing apart
Let's stay friends forever
Forever

Here I stand and face the rain
I know that nothing's gonna be the same again
I fear for what tomorrow brings

Trust me
For whom I am
Place all your faith
Into these hands
I got nothing to say
But let's stay friends forever
Forever

Here I stand and face the rain
I know that nothing's gonna be the same again
I fear for what tomorrow brings

Here i stand and face the rain
I know that nothing's gonna be the same again
I fear for what tomorrow brings

Here i stand and face the rain
Knowing nothing's gonna be the same
Again

Here i stand and face the rain
Knowing nothing's gonna be the same
Again
