Stay On These Roads
A-Ha · Ending On A High Note - The Final Concert [2011]
Stillborn by choice, it airs no need to hold
Old man feels the cold... Oh baby don't 'cause I've been told:
Stay on these roads, we shall meet, I know
Stay on...my love, we shall meet, I know, I know
Where joy should reign, these skies restrain
Shadows your love... The voice trails off again
Old man feels the cold, oh baby don't 'cause I've been told
Stay on these roads, we shall meet, I know
Stay on...my love, you feel so weak, be strong
Stay on, stay on, we shall meet, I know, I know
