Dancing On The Mountains
Text & musik: Julius Z. Strömberg, januari 2016
We were barefoot in the streets, we were sleeping on the beach
We were kings and queens of sorrow, we never thought about tomorrow
We were skating on the ice, I was drowning in her eyes
We were freezing in the snow, we never thought about where to go
I was scared, almost dead
When dancing on the mountains with you
I was down, then you took me high
When dancing on the mountains with you
Open up, Michelle, ’cause your home is my home as well
You were leaving with the train, you were leaving the great lake’s rain
I went following on the E45 highway
Ten thousand miles away in Seattle or in outer space
The winter sun woke me up for some better days
I read books rarely, but I often went to libraries
You loved the temporary part at contemporary art galleries
You were long gone, I looked so dumb
When dreaming of the mountains with you
I was high, but now I’m down
When dreaming of the mountains with you
Still wondering why I left my hometown
’Cause your blooming heart keeps my wheels spinning around
Put your heart in my loving arms
And your breasts against my chest
Your heart will bloom in the loving gloom
The winter keeps us near in this damp room
And only God can know when the sun will thaw the snow
