JEANETTE LINDSTRÖM/QUEEN ON THE HILLSIDE
QUEEN ON THE HILLSIDE
You were the Queen of the MountainYou were the Mistress of forest and streamYou made me run on the HillsideYou made me a bearer of dreamsYou made me move a mountainBecause you never gave in
You were the Queen on the HillsideYou were the Mistress of forest and streamYou made me breathe on the HillsideYou made me hold on to my dreams
You knew how to find the goldYou didn’t do as you’d been toldThose years in captivity taught youYou found your own ways
You made me move a mountainBecause you never gave inBecause you never gave in

FRAGMENTS
Sitting in a forestTrying to use my paletteAll I see is fragmentsIt’s a place for truthIn my little cottageThe skylights
Sitting in a rainbowTrying to find a way toPut them all togetherIn this place for new Looking at the skylights

FALLING
Walking in spaceWalking on the rooftopsFeeling so gracefulAlmost as if my mind stopsI have to pretendI don’t existMeaning to mendCatch up with what I’ve missed
We are falling Away from the coldFinally fallingExploring it all
It’s a beautiful night(I’m) dreaming awayListening to the soundsI think of what to sayWhat if I jump And land on my feetAbsolving for allNo more defeat
We are falling Away from it allFinally fallingExploring it all
You have to dive inNo matter what nowYou have to dive in It has to begin
We are fallingAway from it allFinally fallingExploring it all
We are falling Away from the coldFinally fallingExploring it all

VEM
I stop and fill my sensesI fear the broken sentencesThough shapes are falling into placeI’m hanging loose here in this open space
Vem, vemVem ska ta dig hemVem, vemVem ska ta dig hem igen
I stop and lean against your cheekI hear the silence of the windYou’ll find me left here in betweenBut knowing things aren’t always what they seem
Vem, vemVem ska ta dig hemVem, vemVem ska ta dig hem igen

THAT CLOUD
I will leave you in the darkest cloudThen you can take a guessWhat happened with the windAnd scream your fear out loud
I won’t see you Maybe hear youBut I won’t care ‘causeYou’ll be covered with that cloud
You’ll be there before the morning comesI’m watching as you fade awayComprehension of the things I fearThe mask falls off your face
But I won’t see you Maybe hear youBut I won’t care ‘causeYou’ll be covered with that cloud
I won’t see you Maybe hear youBut I won’t care ‘causeYou’ll be coveredI won’t see you Maybe hear youBut I won’t care ‘causeYou’ll be covered with that cloud

THIS IS HOW
When you question meWhen you think there’s something wrong with meWhen I feel I can’t get you to seeWhen I can’t get the words to be
This is how I talk to youThis is how my voice comes throughThis is how I reach to youThis is how, This is how
All those words I’d like to sayAll the things I wish I could explainJust seem to slip away like soapSeems like singing is my only hope
This is how I talk to youThis is how my voice comes throughThis is how I challenge youThis is how, This is how

COMMENCE
See the tiny offspringHide behind a boulderVintage now, and coughingIt sure is getting colder
I have to commence my workI have to commence my searchI have to commence my workI have to commence my research
Stars on the horizonWhere are you little wild thing?Stars are getting brighterI’ve always been a fighter
I have to commence my workI have to commence my searchI have to commence my workI have to begin my research
Light on the horizonSlowly coming closerThe room is getting smallerWhile I am getting taller
I have to commence my workI have to commence my searchI have to commence my workI have to begin my research

BREATHE
I help you breatheI take your breathI watch your stepI wrap my arms around youWhen the cold surrounds youSo happy to have found you
I make your callI take your fallI pave the groundThe hole is getting biggerI push away the diggerSo happy to be around you
Where are youWhere are you
I call your nameI take you inWash off the stainMy head is all confusionIs this just an illusion
I turn aroundReset the gameI make you spinI re-arrange the framingI try to stop the blamingSo happy to have found you
But where are youWhere are youWhere are youWhere are you
I only see me here You’re goneIs this how it will continue‘Til I’m gone

TRY TO BE
Pave me,Pave me with this strengthAs if it were mine
HeroesWe could try to be heroesHeroesWe could try to be…
I go where the wind blowsWas thinking it came hereFor reasonsI didn’t knowTo stayFor a long, long timeBut no one knowsNow no one knows
Save youYou say you want me to save youI even tried toI tried to beYour heroI tried to be yourHeroineCan’t you see
Shield meCover mePut me in a safe pocket When the strong winds blow
HeroCould you be my hero
Whenever the winds blowCould you try to be
HeroesWe could try to be heroesWhenever the winds blowWe could try to be
Stand upStand up before meLove and adore meSay you still doAnd maybeMaybe I will beSteering my footstepsBack to you

NORTH
I head for the NorthThat’s where I come fromThat’s what feels like home
I turn towards the skyBig glowing green lightA sense of knowing
I turn towards the nightThough I want to stay warmBig green light glowing
Icy, cold, whiteDiamond brightGlittering, glimmeringNow the night
I hide in the nightI hide out of sightIn beauty
