Leif Vollebekk - Pallbearer Blues Lyrics
Last time I saw you, you'd seen my name in the paper
Smy hand
Wished me luck
Said you had to go
But now it's my turn to see your name in the paper
Said you were leavin'
But how was I supposed to know
You always ...
Leif Vollebekk - Phaedrus Lyrics
Leif Vollebekk - Takk Somuleidis Lyrics
I can't be so sure
Down by the shore
I'm gonna go straighten out my blood
I was having a smoke out in the snow
You can never trust the folks you know
You were in the bath talking about your sister
As I hung out on t...
Leif Vollebekk - A Wildfire Took Down Rosenberg Lyrics
I walked all along Laugavegur's length
Heard the Salvation Army Band
Went into Kaffibrennslan
I had a vodka and orange juice
I had a vodka and orange juice
A wildfire took down Rosenberg
And as it burned the kettle...
Leif Vollebekk - Michigan Lyrics
Got my hat
Got my guitar
Pack up the back
Get in the car
Look out the back
Window
Say hello
To all the snow
That's piling up
Along the road
Not gonna stop
If I can
Never been to Michigan
Never been to Michigan...

Leif Vollebekk - Photographer Friend Lyrics
Photographer friend, photographer friend
I'll see you in the end
You ain't like y other friends, you never judge
Picture's worth a thousand words, it explains why we don't talk
As we travel past the perfumed rows...
Leif Vollebekk - Northernmost Eva Maria Lyrics
Midwinter's eve midweek in October
I saw a churchyard, green stardust blowing all over
And it snowed all over the city
The streetlamps fog so pretty
Snow all over the city
We were so warm inside
No, she showed she had nothi...
Leif Vollebekk - Road To Venus Lyrics
Constellations in the sky
Then all's blue in twilight light
Saw your reflection in the pool
That's when I knew
That I was yours
And if all's fair
In love and war
Nothing'd get
In between us
Road to Venu...
Leif Vollebekk - Wait A While Lyrics
Leif Vollebekk - 1921 Lyrics
I'm tired of being reasonable
I'm tired of waiting for
Some sign of the old land
To wash up on the shore
In the city's afternoon
Behind the buildings a white moon
Watched us look for a room that night
But we ...
Leif Vollebekk - Ladyland Lyrics
Heroes would've fought for you
And poets would've thought of you
Had you lived back when they did those sorts of things
And seeing as how i long for you
I thought maybe i'd write a song or two for you
If i could onl...
Leif Vollebekk - Off The Main Drag Lyrics
Old gas station hasn't changed in decades
Cashier checks the time around her
Put my things on the counter
Pull out my wallet like some pull down the shades
My only brother lent me his only car
Who knew I would drive it so far...

Leif Vollebekk - Into The Ether Lyrics
Quit putting me on

Quit putting me on
Quit putting me on
Quit putting me on
Quit putting me on
Quit putting me on
Quit putt...
Leif Vollebekk - Telluride Lyrics
Throw the paper on the steps
Then run away if you haven't yet
Gone for ages gone for good
It has been a while as it should
Telluride, Telluride, Telluride
People talking trash
Soon to become ash
Nobody asked to be here...
Leif Vollebekk - Apalachee Plain Lyrics
Leif Vollebekk - All Night Sedans Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You was up to something
I was up to nothing
It was bound to happen that way
Rain in the streetlights
You in the midnight
We could've had it any day
A fire was raging down at the station
It was not ours to worr...
Leif Vollebekk - Don't Go To Klaksvik Lyrics
You've got the world in you
We slept again in the nude
Sky's bruised in pinks and blues
And daybreak's barely breaking through
You awake not to know the end of it
Don't go to Klaksvik
I hear those birds of da...
Leif Vollebekk - From The Fourth Lyrics
Well, the windows fogged up and the world it did freeze
With its restless passerby in the cold nighttime breeze
The violins dug in and one tear I cry
My ears were ringing when we stepped outside
Your sweat sweetly mixed with the sea...
Leif Vollebekk - Rest Lyrics
For years I've been working and traveling alone
I eat out in restaurants where men wear cologne
Recognized as a stranger every place that I went
Sometimes I just sometimes I just close my eyes
And begin my descent
I'l...
Leif Vollebekk - At The End Of The Line Lyrics
I'm long gone, honey babe, far away from my home
Went out to find myself, just found myself alone
Late night trains since don't run the way they're supposed to
It's been months since I've been near anyone I wa...
Leif Vollebekk - East Of Eden Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tell me where are you going
You got the jack of diamonds, I got the knight of hearts
When the cards get stuck together, so hard to pull them apart
I think your face is showing
Ain't the first time that it's sno...
Leif Vollebekk - Vancouver Time Lyrics
West London alleyways
San Pedro's valley's haze
Works my mind just like a maze
When I see you around
No honey you are not a kid
You know how to keep it hid
And I know just what you did
In those buildings downtown

Leif Vollebekk - In The Morning Lyrics
You don't belong here
It's your broken heart I hear
And please don't stand there
With your wrists and your ankles bare
The moon speeds high in the mountains
Sun's beneath us still
It's a cloud that is la...
Leif Vollebekk - You Couldn't Lie To Me In Paris Lyrics
You couldn't lie to me in Paris
No, you wouldn't want to embarrass
Yourself in front of the fathers of the fellas
Who'd raise their eyebrow umbrellas
Never one for a fuss
Unless it is just the two of us
We started...
Leif Vollebekk - Southern United States Lyrics
Southern United States
I had a dream I was standing beneath the Memphis moon
With William Blake painting and Crosby crooning
And his father was a sailor
Who left his mother young, and so she dressed him the same
He took after his ...
Leif Vollebekk - Tallahassee Lyrics
I remember London
I remember the bells
From the across the chambermaid's corridors
It was like they was ringing by themselves
I see no river of whiskey
Is there sugar in your bowl?
Ain't seen you for days now

Leif Vollebekk - When The Subway Comes Above The Ground Lyrics
In T.O. I was laughing
At my friend who sold his soul
I guess it wouldn't've been so funny had I not sold mine for less
Orange smokestacks in the sunset casting shadows until our faces drowned
It's better to have left...
Leif Vollebekk - Big Sky Country Lyrics
Red-winged blackbird sitting on a cattail's end
Red-winged blackbird sitting on a cattail's end
Light enough to be there, heavy enough to bend
Red-winged blackbird sitting on a cattail's end
Meet me where the Land ...

Leif Vollebekk - Cairo Blues Lyrics
[Chorus]
Cairo, Cairo
Cairo is my baby's home
See, women in Cairo, women in Cairo
Sure don't dance, they don't dance alone

I should have never lent you my 45
I guess my lesson is not to lend
There&#...
Leif Vollebekk - Elegy Lyrics
Minor chords and major arcana
Little leather jacket and a black bandana
Kicking over trashcans and telling jokes in Atlanta
When I got the fever, it hit me like a fan
On the back of my hand I don't know who I am
But I'm ...
Leif Vollebekk - Quebec Lyrics
Love, love my baby, but my baby, she don't feel the same
Love, love my baby, she don't feel the same
Probably ain't love, but if it isn't how can I explain
When a woman moves on it's best you just 'a'...
