|
I`ve heard them sing
|
By Frank Peter Hermsen
|
|
When I was young my father told
|
|
Me wonderfully tremendous tales
|
|
About a world that noone knows
|
|
The mystic kingdom of the whales
|
|
Monuments in flesh and blood
|
|
Gliding through eternity
|
|
Dancing through an unknown sea
|
|
As conquerors of gravity
|
|
And he told me ą„bout
|
|
Their mysterious song
|
|
A song about pride
|
|
A song ą„bout being strong
|
|
Melodies full
|
|
Of atmosphere
|
|
Chords in blue
|
|
Far from fear
|
|
Chords in blue
|
|
Written just for you
|
|
Years ago upon Scottlandą„s cliffs
|
|
In a warm October fullmoon night
|
|
I was enjoying the Highland's glowing sky
|
|
Underneath eternal northern lights
|
|
When suddenly a soft strange sound
|
|
Made me forget everything
|
|
And I always will remember
|
|
This moment when I heard them sing
|
|
Ią„ve heard them sing
|
|
A mysterious song
|
|
About being hunted
|
|
And being killed too long
|
|
Chords in a blue
|
|
And cold atmosphere
|
|
Melancholic sounds
|
|
Of sorrow and fear
|
|
Chords in blue
|
|
Written just for you
|
|
Now the time has come to tell this tale
|
|
To our daughter and weą„ve got to explain
|
|
Our reasons for doing nothing exept
|
|
Playing the hypocrite in our book of shame
|
|
Oh please, Wynona, dont ask me why
|
|
Weą„ve killed what we claim to adore
|
|
No please, Wynona, doną„t ask why
|
|
The whales doną„t sing anymore
|
|
So I tell her about
|
|
Their mysterious song
|
|
A song ą„bout all those things
|
|
That went wrong
|
|
Melancholy and
|
|
Chords in blue
|
|
ą„Bout a world we didną„t
|
|
Protect for you
|
|
Chords in blue
|
|
