Løkki - High

Life was a never-ending dream
Smiles weren't always what they seemed
The warm winds they came but drew shivers from me
Cause I always knew

I don't want to get high in the morning sun
I don't want to be low when I don't know where we've gone
I don't want to bathe in the light of another dawn
When we are so far from our home

Old Mother Time, she is looking at me
In these lines won't you tell me what you see
She said I can tell my young friend you are dying to break free
But you'll be alone

I don't want to get high in the morning sun
I don't want to be low when I don't know where we've gone
I don't want to bathe in the light of another dawn
When we are so far from our home

So many voices will tell you how to live
So many givers will tell you all about what giving is
So many truths will rain down in the fires of righteousness
Upon the innocent

I don't want to get high in the morning sun
I don't want to be low when I don't know where we've gone
I don't want to bathe in the light of another dawn
When we are so far from our home

All night long, shadows they come and they're gone
Moonlight it scatters and forms
Moonlight it scatters and forms
And all night long, shadows they come and they're gone
Moonlight it scatters and forms

Deep in your eyes are the patterns of the sea
And on your hands the folds of happiness and misery
And from your mouth streams the music of perpetuity
But there's a time you'll be gone

So I don't want to get high in the morning sun
I don't want to lay low when the killing's being done
I don't want to bathe in the light of another dawn
Like there is nothing to be done

So take me high
Take me high
