Exile / Kari Ruesl?tten

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

D#          G#-Bb            D# 
I have deported my own life
                G#-Bb
Into this foolish splendour
D#                      G#                Bb
I have brought the beauty of a soul
D#          G#-Bb            D#
Cold and dark as the last day
                G#-Bb
Is the image of the dream
D#             G#               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
