Heaven and Hell

Holding your hand while it's pouring down
Clouds letting go like a breathing spell
Learning to draw a line
Between Heaven and Hell

Tear out a page from a magazine
Holding the eyes of a famous man
Pushing the envelope
Dragging us back

Painting myself with a trembling hand
Knowing it's not easy to be grand
A sunset in black and white
A pat on the back

Dreading the day as I used to do
(Himlen är nära)
History throws itself back at you
(Helvetet)
An untuned piano
Your voice in the dark

Drowning in a flood of memories
(Himlen är nära)
Sights getting dimmer from all I've seen
(Helvete)
Hug me when I'm too blurred
Shake me to sleep

Ignore a lost soul on the subway train
Facing myself in a carousel
In the burning daylight
Heaven and Hell
