Lyrics

Dreams of happiness are shattered

We just prolong the last goodbye

Very soon there’ll be no You & I

Time of joy for us that mattered

The love and lust we must deny

Guess I’m slightly more prepared to die

I sigh and I cry, please

 

Teach me to believe

in a life that wasn’t meant for us

in hidden reasons for the loss

Teach me to conceive

that happiness was just a dream

we met too late, what does it mean

Teach me to believe

 

We could say it’s for the better

there is so much at stake here

we both have reasons for doubt and fear

Your many years with man and children

and my own wish for that family life

But the thing is I’d love to call you “wife”

I sigh and I cry, could you

 

Teach me to believe

     (scared I’ll never learn)

in a life that wasn’t meant for us

     (that is my concern)

in hidden reasons for my loss

Teach me to believe

    (oh I try ?)

 

Goodbye, true love, goodbye, I must

 

Learn how to believe

in a life that wasn’t meant for us

to see a time beyond my loss

Learn how to conceive

that happiness was just a dream

we met too late, it feels so mean

Teach me to believe

Story

From the first summerhouse-session (ca. 2008) with Morten, where I also brought my new electronic drum kit. When I played them live they triggered various drum sounds. Also the only song where Morten contributed some vocals (the deep voice on “Believe”). In WKN he does that a lot!
