Soul Deep
(words and music, Per Gessle)

Save a prayer for a sinner and a saint, my baby's coming back.
Say a prayer, hide hide away yea baby's coming back.
He-He-Hey Ain't gonna trouble his wandering mind,
gonna take on the time to find out if my love is
Soul Deep-spinning the heart round a wire,
Soul Deep-a heavenly wave,
Soul Deep-heating the heart like a fire,
Soul Deep-is taking my breath away-ay-ay.
Save a tear till the curtain will fall, well I'm saving them all for you.
Knock on wood, is it understood that I'm saving it up for you.
He-He-Hey Love is a hustle just a moment behind,
gonna walk on the line to find out if my love is
Soul Deep-spinning the heart round a wire,
Soul Deep-a heavenly wave,
Soul Deep-heating the heart like a fire,
Soul Deep-is taking my breath away-ay-ay.
Save a prayer for a sinner and a saint, my baby's coming back.
Say a prayer, hide hide away yea yea baby's coming back.
He-He-Hey Ride on the Soul Train now I'm too close to hide,
gonna take on the time to find out if my love is Soul Deep ...

Secrets that She keeps
(words and music, Per Gessle)
 
I move all right, I got the wheels going round, making ways in the night.
Yea we're movin'all right, wipin' the rain from the ground and the pale from the sky
but something happens in his heart when the morning comes.
The secrets that she keeps away from me, 
the tears on her pillow she don't want me to see,
well every little thing she does is for me but somebody new is breaking us in two.
He's the kind of the love that makes a whirl in your mind, like the tide and the time.
With just a little bit o'soul he fights to find peace of mind in these shattering eyes
but something happens in his heart when the morning comes.
The secrets that she keeps away for me. The love of you and me.
 

Goodbye to you
(words and music, Per Gessle)
 
Goodbye to you, goodbye to broken hearts,
goodbye to romance, hiding in the dark, nights that leave a scar.
Goodbye to you, goodbye to emptycards,
goodbye to this ball of bliss, I'm dancing in your arms.
And I fill the bedroom with silent visions of rain.
And I paint the morning with echoes from pleasure in pain.
I don't want to touch emotions, I just got to run away.
Electric blue like oceans, wild like lovers sway.
And I see the pillow and shatter dreams down the hall.
And I hang the heartache like pictures on the wall.
Can you hear the sound of angels playing hurting games?
Well, I'm a stranger when I'm leaving, I was a stranger when I came.

I call your name
(words and music, Per Gessle)
 
It's a madman's situation, reminiscing in the rain,
and I've lost your love again, I call your name.
And I don't want to think about it when I go to sleep at night,
can you hear it in the wind? I call your name.
I call your name. And I close the door behind me,
I turn the lights all down, there's no one beside me,
I call your name. And I don't want to think about it
but I wind up all the same, nothing'll ever change,
I call your name. Lie awake under the stars,
lie awake under the stars. 

Surrender
(words and music, Per Gessle)
 
She knows I'd do anything she wants me to. The love she finds is deeper than the ocean.
She knows I'd do anything she wants me to. A river of dew, warmer than the dawning.
Surrender-tie the cover to the ground. Surrender-tie the cover to the ground
but don't turn around and walk away again. Don't turn around and walk away again.
He knows I'd say anything he wants to hear. Bright and clear calls the voice of lovers.
He knows I'd do anything he wants me to. Like ruby rain I wash away the pain.
Surrender-tie the cover to the ground. Surrender-tie the cover to the ground
but don't turn around and walk away again. Don't turn me down and walk away again.

Voices
(words by Per Gessle, music by Marie Fredriksson & Per Andersson)
 
I knew this would happen and I don't want to be around when it gets out.
I've closed the last picture and painted the windows inside and out.
Give me your dreams and I'll give you my time, together we'll cross the borderline.
Voices-cracking the night, Voices-that cut like a knife, Voices-hear them singing: Ooh Ooh.
From sparks to the fire, from here to obsession they cover the end.
Twisting a match and see the reflexions of hunters of men.
Give me your dreams and I'll give you my time until we make it to the borderline.
Voices-cracking the night, Voices-that cut like a knife, Voices-hear them singing.

Neverending love
(words and music, Per Gessle)
 
Chasing your shadow, the sences together, four-leafed and clever I come from behind.
Chasing your shadow, I wonder in circles, you're one in a million, we're two of a kind.
It's you that I long for, it's you that I hunger, oh you are the maker of waves in my mind.
We dance in the moonlight, a run on the wire, drawing a fine line, a neverending love.
The fever turns slowly into a fire, drawing a fine line, a neverending love.
Chasing your shadow, moon and the water, field and the reaper, star and the sky.
Chasing your shadow, hammer and heartbeat, clay and new concrete, I follow the signs.
It's you that I long for, it's you that I hunger and you are the maker of waves in my mind.

Joy of a toy
(words by Per Gessle and music by Per Gessle & M.P. Persson)
 
You wake me up in the middle of the night and burn the cover down.
You're on the phone in the air like a record try to spin me around.
Oh won't you move away, oh honey get away. 
The joy of a toy-is it all that you came for, the joy of a toy got the look of a lie.
The joy of a toy put the hurt into action. the joy of a toy-you can kiss this love goodbye.
How can you win when you don't know a thing what love is all about? 
Don't want to fight so get out of my sight I won't surrender now.
It's independance day, oh honey get away. 
The joy of a toy-is it all that you came for, The joy of a toy got the look of a lie.
The joy of a toy put the hurt into action. The joy of a toy-you can kiss this love goodbye.
Hello Goodbye.

From one heart to another
(words and music, Per Gessle)
 
Echoes of loneliness, traces from love affairs will never disappear, always come thru.
I thought I'd never know the time to see you go, two people turn into one, thinking as one.
A hint in the night, a touch of a dream has come to an end, 
we run from one heart to another again.
The rose of our love is withered and torn and gone from one heart to another.
Sailing away to sea, the ships made of you and me, they pass in the darkest nights
and turn on all the lights.
And I thought I'd never know the season to see you go, 
two people twirled into one, being as one.
A hint in the night, a touch of a dream has come to an end, 
we run from one heart to another again.
The rose of our love is withered and torn and gone from one heart to another.
Running running from one heart to another.

So far away
(words by Per Gessle and Hasse Huss, music by Per Gessle)
 
In the coldest time of year, darkness all around my heart.
I was alone but didn't fear to wander in the light of stars.
In the bright and silent night, winds would knock and disappear.
Still I felt the feeling near, like the first time you were ever here.
You're so far away, so far away, you left me,
you told me you would stay. You never said goodbye
and I keep wondering why, I keep on wondering how, oh come on to me now.
I breathed the morning air, I have heard the four winds blow.
I was weary but prepared to follow down this lonely road.
In the room where lovers sleep, winds would knock and disappear.
Still I felt the music near, like the first time we were ever here.
You're so far away, so far away, you left me,
you told me you would stay. You never said goodbye
and I keep wondering why, I keep on wondering how, oh come inside me now.
