Exile / Kari Rueslåtten

 Cm                    Gm
I just want to lay myself down
 Ab                                 Eb-Bb
Drink the illusions and let it all float away
 Cm                    Gm
Into the river of voices
 Ab                                 Eb-Bb
One of them will speak and tell me where to go
 Cm                    Gm
I packed my thoughts and visions
 Ab                                 Eb-Bb
headed for the light on the other side
 Cm
although consoling was a myth
 Gm
the tunnel was a con
 Ab                          Eb-Bb
i ran - but i never turned back

Eb          Ab-Bb            Eb 
I have deported my own life
                Ab-Bb
Into this foolish splendour
Eb                      Ab                Bb
I have brought the beauty of a soul
Eb          Ab-Bb            Eb
Cold and dark as the last day
                Ab-Bb
Is the image of the dream
Eb             Ab               Bb
That made it all worth-while
 Cm
In exile


if there is a sign out there hiding
come to me now or forever hold your peace
you'll find me in my room in the guesthouse
riding clouds that are hard to please
when there is a fight i will be there
it feels so good to do what one should not do
and i play i gamble and stay
i look - but i never turn back
