ANDRE ANDERSEN LYRICS

1. Changing Skin

I close my eyes, and let the demons in
To clear my mind from the things that I have seen
On my knees, Father - please leave the crowd
And let me out

I lost my way so many times before
That I forgot just what I'm living for
I'm in the dark, light's so hard to find...
So now I'm leaving it all behind - I'm changing skin

My angry tears like raindrops in the dust
I realized there's no one you can trust
Shot in the back sinking in the night
That's how I'm leaving it all behind - I'm changing skin

2. Burning Bridges

I told you once, I told you twice
That you can't live on compromise - but you won't listen
Another time, another place
It's like a neverending race and there's no reason
To waste your life away in one single day

Bridges are burning and chances are few
Man with the scythe - he is coming for you
Stage is the same but some faces are new
Why can't you see that it's over?

I pulled you up, you let me down
I'm sick of dragging you around - it feels like forever
I'm going left, you're going right
Out of my life, out of my sight - it's now or never
Go waste your life away in one single day

Bridges are burning and chances are few
Man with the scythe - he is pointing at you
Stage is the same but some faces are new
Why can't you see that it's over?

Bridges are burning and chances are few
Listen, I'm trying to tell you that
Time's running out, God, but we never knew
Night's getting cold and your story is old - it's been told

I let you in, I turned you loose
I gave you lot's of time to choose to change the story
You are the snake around my hand
The one who used to be my friend - and now you're sorry
I've suffered all the way - you will today
Go, waste your life away in one single day

Bridges are burning and chances are few
Man with the scythe - he is coming for you
Stage is the same but some faces are new
Why can't you see that it's over?

Bridges are burning and chances are few
Waiting is over and this is your cue
Time's running out, God, but you never knew
Listen, I'm trying to tell you

3. 1000 Miles Away

The echo of "goodbye" got poisoned by the lie:
"I'll never let you go"
The shadow of your smile is gone, I wonder why
But now I'll never know
Let the river flow to the place where sorrow grows
No, I just can't let you go!

1000 miles away - can you hear me calling when I see you cry
1000 miles away - wasted days are passing by
You're 1000 miles away

Another day, another place, another scar across my face
At least it's something new
You've disappeared - I'm left behind, about to lose my mind
I had my faith in you
Let the river flow to the place which I will never know
No, I just can't let you go

1000 miles away - can you hear me calling when I see you cry
1000 miles away - wasted days are passing by
1000 miles away - while the sun is shining river's running dry
1000 miles away - I never cared to say goodbye

4. Never Look Back

You can break my heart, you can rape my soul
Tear my life apart, push me until I'll fall
Step by step, day by day, now it's time to break away

Never look back - while you can hear my call
Never look back - until the final curtain'll fall
Never look back - now you can leave it all
Never look back - just leave and never come back

You can tell me lies, you can waste my "bread"
Only in my eyes you're as good a dead
Tear by tear, laugh by laugh, now I think I've had enough

5. In My Arms

How can I tell what's on my mind right now, while you're leaving
If I could catch you final breath and never stop believing
If I could pray this pain away...

You're in my arms - if I could wish you back
You're in my arms - my world is turning black
You're in my arms - just let me take your pain
You're in my arms - I'm crying out your name

I saw that fear behind your stare, that hope to see tomorrow
It breaks my heart 'cos now you're gone - I wish that I could follow
And make you stay just one more day
I'm going down, someone please help me
Out of this world - nobody hears me
I close my eyes praying for you
But nobody cares even when I do
Scream my head off and cry my wounded heart out
Who gives a damn about one voice in the crown
I'll give everything, even those very few
Days of my life which I have left - to you

6. Wings Of Tomorrow

I'm walking the streets of blooming despair and regret
Kid in the alley is pressing the gun to his head
Is he right, is he wrong, is he weak, is he strong
Was he fighting alone - on his own?

Rain's falling down and I pray - take all his pain and his sorrow
I wish he could leave it today under the wings of tomorrow
Rain's falling down and I pray - show my the way and I'll follow
Take me and fly me away on the wings of tomorrow

I'm closing the door to the room full of sorrow and rage
Girl in the window in tears sliding over the edge
Is she right, is she wrong, is she weak, is she strong
Was she fighting alone - on her own?

Rain's falling down and I pray - take all her pain and her sorrow
I wish she could leave it today under the wings of tomorrow
Rain's falling down and I pray - show me the way and I'll follow
Take my and fly my away on the wings of tomorrow

Am I right, am I wrong, am I weak, am I strong
Am I fighting alone - on my own?

Rain's falling down and I pray - take all my pain and my sorrow
I wish I could leave it today under the wings of tomorrow
Rain's falling down and I pray - show me the way and I'll follow
Take me and fly me away on the wings of tomorrow

7. In The Late Hour

[Bonus track]

I've been up, I've been down
Bigger stuff couln't kick me around
So you can drop your illusions and hopes
About making me cold

I've been low, I've been high
Tell me, while I was learning to fly
Were you feeding your bitch with the gold paid
For your friends whom you sold?

Can't you understand? I watch your bridges burning
Snake around my hand just bit again

I'm your smile and I'm your tear
I'm your pleasure, I'm your fear
When you're down on the floor
I'm your master, I'm your slave
I'm the one who you've betrayed
Nothing is real and it never will be like before
I'm your freedom, I'm your drug
I'm your shadow in the dark
Nowhere to hide or to run anymore
I'm your shame and I'm your pride
Now I'm leaving you behind
Waiting for my pain to knock on your door

You can roll, you can crowl
I think Biff's kind of said it all
"You're getting rid of the deadly desease
By cutting it right out"
I guess you make your point
Selling friends for the shiny coin
You can cheat, you can lie - can you die
And make your maker proud?

8. In My Arms (Acoustic)

[Bonus track]

How can I tell what's on my mind right now, while you'releaving
If I could catch you final breath and never stop believing
If I could pray this pain away...

You're in my arms - if I could wish you back
You're in my arms - my world is turning black
You're in my arms - just let me take your pain
You're in my arms - I'm crying out your name

I saw that fear behind your stare, that hope to see tomorrow
It breaks my heart 'cos now you're gone - I wish that I couldfollow
And make you stay just one more day

9. Crying In The Rain

[by David Coverdale (Whitesnake)]
[Bonus track]

A black cat moans
When he's burning with the fever
A stray dog howls
When he's lonely in the night
A woman goes crazy
With the thought of retribution
But a man starts weeping
Whe he's sick and tired of life

I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrow
Feel I'm wasting my time
Lighting candles in the wind
Always taking my chances
On the promise of the future
But a heart full of sorrow
Paints a lonely tapestry

The sun is shining
But it's raining in my heart

No one understands the heartache
No one feels the pain
'Cos no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain

I can never deny
All the sweet things I have tasted
Tho' I've been mistreated
I keep coming back for more
I know where I'm going
There's no hope of absolution
I can't seem to separate
The good times from the bad
