Childhood's End

Ulver Childhood's End Lyrics
1.Bracelets Of Fingers

Love, love, love...

These are a few of the things I find joy
Bracelets of fingers since I was a boy

Fly to the moon and I'll get there quite soon
If I wait awhile
Cradled in branches that stretched out their arms
I must wait awhile
Bending my mind as I pick up the flowers in May
Hearing the laughter that turns into tears every day

Fly to the moon on the curve of a spoon
I turn upside-down
Tumbling through leaves as I scatter the seeds
On an eiderdown

(Love, love, love...)

Fly to the moon and I'll get there quite soon
If I wait awhile
Daylight arrives with a turn of the skies
I must wait awhile
Clouds building castles, the wind comes and
Blows them away
Tears in the water makes circles for me
As I play

Fly to the moon on the curve of a spoon
I turn upside-down.
Tumbling through leaves as I scatter the seeds
On an eiderdown

(Love, love, love...)

These are a few of the things l find joy
Bracelets of fingers since I was a boy


2.Everybody's Been Burned

Everybody's been burned before
Everybody knows the pain
Anyone in this place
Can tell you to your face
Why you shouldn't try to love someone

Everybody knows it never works
Everybody knows and me
I know that door that shuts
Just before you get to the dream
You see...

I know all too well
How to turn, how to run
How to hide behind
A bitter wall of blue
But you die inside
If you choose to hide
So I guess instead, I'll love you


3.The Trap


4.In The Past


5.Today

Today I feel like pleasing you more than before
Today I know what I want to do but I don't know what for
To be living for you is all I want to do
To be loving you it'll all be there when my dreams come true
Today you'll make me say that I somehow have changed
Today you'll look into my eyes, I'm just not the same
To be anymore than all I am would be a lie
I'm so full of love I could burst apart and start to cry
Today everything you want, I swear it all will come true
Today I realize how much I'm in love with you
With you standing here I could tell the world what it means to
love
To go on from here I can't use words, they don't say enough
Please, please listen to me
It's taken so long to come true
And it's all for you
all for you....


6.Can You Travel In The Dark Alone

You are lost in the ocean of your dreams and what is real
but the blue green surface only covers what you feel
and the lighthouse that you find
casts a beam across your mind and there's your home
but don't you ever wonder could you travel in the dark
alone
You can sail by yourself but you're never on your own
You will search for the light in the way that you have
known
and the lighthouse on the shore
casts a beam into your door and there's your home
but don't you ever wonder could you travel in the dark
alone

When your eyes start to think of all the things that
can't be seen
you can stare into the darkness and discover what I mean
and the lighthouse that you see
casts a beam that shines on me and there's your home
but don't you ever wonder could you travel in the dark
alone


7.I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night

Last night your shadow fell upon my lonely room
I touched your golden hair and tasted your perfume
Your eyes were filled with love the way they used to be
Your gentle hand reached out to comfort me
Then came the dawn
And you were gone
You were gone, gone, gone
I had too much to dream last night
Too much to dream
I'm not ready to face the light
I had too much to dream
Last night
Last night

The room was empty as I staggered from my bed
I could not bear the image racing through my head
You were so real that I could feel your eagerness
And when you raised your lips for me to kiss
Came the dawn
And you were gone
You were gone, gone, gone


Oh, too much to dream
Oh, too much to dream
Too much to dream last night
Oh, too much to dream


8.Street Song

I walked down to the sidewalk, the night was crying rain
I heard wandering thunder like a crash in someone's tin
I can tell from the lightning's flashing that the storm would
not refrain.

The wind blew through the treetops and I saw some windowpane
I heard someone down in the alley a little voice called out my
name,
I saw the ghost of our wrecked romance it was lost in the
pouring rain.

Well I'm going back to the country
Up on the mountains up on the rising side
And if you should ever leave me
Send me a letter with some love inside

Where are you? Married? And in a good place?
I need to know to be satisfied.

I walked on through the darkness, the night still pouring rain
The wind blew through the treetops and I saw some windowpane
I saw the ghost of our wrecked romance, it was lost in the
pouring rain
One thing I have learned in my time in the skies and on the
ground
All the fires changed motivation, yet I burned to love that
sound.


9.66-5-4-3-2-1

If ever you need me, baby
There's a number that you can phone
It's double six, five, four, three, two, one
Yeah I'll be there and I bet on my own

'Cause I know what you want
'Cause I know what you want

It's no use pretending, baby
I'm feeling the same way, too
So come on over to my place
There's so much that we can do

'Cause I know what you want
'Cause I know what you want

Someday we will overdo it
Someday we will go too far
I'll get drained of all my money
And I will even have to sell my car

'Cause I know what you want
'Cause I know what you want

I know that I must be crazy
But there's a number that you can phone
It's double six, five, four, three, two, one
Yeah I'll be there and I bet on my own

'Cause I know what you want
'Cause I know what you want


10.Dark Is The Bark


11.Magic Hollow

I want to know if you would go to magic hollow
Yes, come with me
Come up with me to magic hollow
Touch the stars as in a dream
Everything you touch is deemed
Magic, magic
Must make the time
Make it one time to what you are missing
Magic delight beyond your sights
Fantastic prisons
Lights and colors lingering
Spin them, touch, they are splintering
Magic, it's magic
My side is blessed
You have not guessed
So won't you follow
Follow through the dark
I hear the lark of magic hollow
Calling out a melody
Veiled within my memory
Magic, magic
