  • Keep your clever lines
    Hold your easy rhymes
    Silence everything
    Silence always wins
    It's a perfect alibi
    There's no need to analyze
    It will be all right
    Through the longest night
    Just silence everything

    But we could live by the foot of the mountain
    We could clear us a yard in the back
    Build a home by the foot of the mountain
    We could stay there and never come back

    Learn from my mistake
    Leave what others take
    Speak when spoken to
    And do what others do
    Silence always wins
    So silence everything

    It will be all right
    In the morning light
    Just silence everything

    But we could live by the foot of the mountain
    We could clear us a yard in the back
    Build a home by the foot of the mountain
    We could stay there and never come back
    We could stay there and never come back

    We could live together

    But we could live by the foot of the mountain
    We could make us a white picket fence
    Build a home by the foot of the mountain
    We could stay there and see how it ends
    We could stay there and see how it ends Writer/s: Magne Furuholmen, Martin Terefe, Morten Harket, Pal Waaktaar, Paul Waaktaar Savoy
