WALTZ OF THE FRIENDS
Music Roland Kirk
Lyrics M. Ostlund
 
Somewhere this waltz begins
it´s in the graceful wind
Somewhere our friendship starts
it´s when you make me laugh
yes, you see
who I am
what I need
as we sit
in the shade searching words
´bout our lives
that we live

Surrounded by falling light
soft winds that go to bed
Words from a secret tongue
leave us with more to find
and the blend of our thoughts
gives the lark in the tree
new ideas
for a song
to be sung
for a friend

 A TALE OF HORSES
Lyrics & Music M. Ostlund
 

Stories and songs
pictures to dream
all the world is inside my book
legends ´bout the
life we can win

Horses that run
over the moor
running wild and
galloping free
hooves on ground
manes in wind
freedom pounds in every step

When I hear the fairy tale
I travel far
and I play with thoughts
that this is my life

Turning the page
the horses are now
standing in the silence of night
under trees
with pendulum leaves

Still, in this peace,
with horses that champ
echoes of the thundering hooves
When I´m laying down the book
the thought of freedom
pounds in me

 
 EVENING SCENERYLyrics & music M. Ostlund

People talk, the music´s on
a window is open to show the moon
clinking glasses, pouring of wine
and than your eyes finding mine again

a glance
a smile
a rush
a driving force
a cooling breeze

to live
to breathe
to rest
and dream
to see a face
and dream again
this moment fills the song

I´m the water, you are the sun
so I dream in my silent thoughts
someone sings along in a phrase
and slowly forming the melody

we hear
the music find
the winding line
la da did a

this moment
fills a song
it´s now
and passing by
the music brings
a newborn love
to us

 CHANGES IN LIGHT AND LINES Lyrics & music M. Ostlund
The summer world was filled
with spheres in different green
Now comes another song
a tinge of yellow shade
will grow and start to glow

Those early autumn days
will bring a blooming flame
He loves to see
the falling leaves
the changing world
the evershifting truth
he walks along the shore again and
murmur from the sea
the rise, the fall
her face again

strong red clear blue

 AIR AND GRAVITYLyrics & music M. Ostlund
Dancing, my body´s swinging slowly
in the air, against the gravity
letting my arms in soaring circles
raise with air and fall with gravity

Lines and curves in rivers
they grow from within
swift and shifting quivers
beat that grows from the ground

The melody is passing through my body, flowing
It´s in my limbs and joints and in my footsteps,
flowing

Deeper, into a play with forces
let them lead and let them follow
easy, just like a wind, a feather
let it touch and let it leave the ground

Turn, return and finding
the body can sing
than again I´m gliding
the body can swing

I dance and feel the
wondrous space around me, flowing
resounding joy is everwhere inside me, flowing

 ALMOST AT HOMELyrics & music M. Ostlund
Almost at home
and I know you are there
led by a song
through streets full of sand
the winter is gone
winter is gone
 AS THE SUN ARISESLyrics & music M. Ostlund

Dark skies and rest of night,
soon comes the morningsun
Small steps of first daylight
now comes the morningsun

I was moving in the endless landscape of dreams
now the pictures fade, my sleepy eyes forget
what they´ve seen
The early sun will soon be stronger, spreadin it´s beams
into the day and I can see all the

Shades turn to coloured land
force from the morningsun
Winds move and start to dance
sounds make a morning song

 THE SUNKEN LANDLyrics & music M. Ostlund
Sitting by the river
where the children used to play
letting thoughts come and go
like the winds that blow
from yesterday - till today
waterstreams are running
through my fingertips
like ideas melting down
in a stream of sand
old ideas, worn out words
the kingdom of gold
is covered with dust
and flowers
 OH, LET ME SINGLyrics & music M. Ostlund
I hear the song,
I hear the song that she sings
when she works, when she works the land
her hummin' voice fills the air, it fills air
many miles, many miles around
yes she sings, like she has sung
since the world, since the world was young

The sky is high
the sky is high, with the wind
blowing free, the wind is blowing free
oh, let me follow the wind, follow the song
that I hear, retrace the song I hear
through the dreams, that we´ve dreamt,
since the world, since the world was young

Oh, let me sing,
oh, let me sing every day
when I work, when I work my land
let all the joy that I feel, the pain and the strain
find relief, like the river finds a flow
as I sing, like we´ve sung
since the world, since the world was young
