Ulf Lundell Tyrol Så Mycket Äldre

(Lyrics eng)
Late at night
Just before dawn
Just before the darkness falls
Before the darkness flees
Then I'm still up
Among books and dreams
I feel my heart pumping
I can feel the blood flowing
There's a little splash left in the bottle.
I throw it in and throw wisdom in the ashes

I don't know if I want to be
So much older
I'm like an injured animal
That won't come out of its golden cage
A life in solitude
That's all I know
It's my secret
And the price I've paid
It's too high
Too high.

Down there in the street
The last taxi is on its way home
Up in the park Sofia strikes five
It's getting lighter over the trees
There's light over the roofs
What's the use of sitting here
To sit here tired but awake
But is there another drop
Perhaps one more
I'll keep it in me
There will be no spillage.
I don't know if I want to be
So much older
I'm like a wounded animal
That won't come out of its golden cage
A life in solitude
That's all I know
It's my secret
And the price I've paid
It's too high
Too high.


You come into the room
With a blanket around your body
You're so cold you're shivering
But your cup is smoking hot
You sit down across from me
And look at me
With eyes that wander confused
Between yes and no
You say: Tell me right now
Right now tonight
What is it you think
That you'll be able to drink to catch up
I feel the glass in my hand
Getting heavy as lead
You say: The day out there
It must dawn
And the sun comes in
Like a fire on the wallpaper
There must be some way
To make friends with this planet.
I don't know if I want to be
So much older
I'm like an injured animal
That won't come out of its golden cage
A life in solitude
That's all I know
It's my reality
And the price I've paid
It's too high
Too high.
