Arch 03:17
Arch I’ll build an arch for you I’ll walk the march for you I know I seem to be a little bit wounded But I’ll play my part for you I’ll be a star for you I’ll wear an oriental gown, and crown too. And if you only give me one little blue sky And if you only show me one piece of your life I’ll plant a land for you Outplay my hand for you Make every little thing grow bigger around you I’ll fly to Mars and back Follow a moose track My knees get wobbly when I know you are near me You are bigger then one body You are greater then one human song You are bigger then one body I am inside and you open the door I’ll drink the sea for you Reshape my ‘me’ for you Take all the pieces and create something new for you

Look At You 03:47
Look At You I took a look at you Last night A letter came in through The light It said, in red A child today Would give us A new way to play You are billon drops of ink There’s a thing with you Tapping in to everything There’s a love in you Growing all out & into me I took a look at you, Again last night A song came in With the street-light You’ve made a pirouette In my heart You’ve taken me By surprise You are billon drops of light

The Poetry Of Everything Islands don’t always float But grow out of the water Millimetres at the time They grow with the speed of atoms Just wee bits at the time Mountains are not always made of stones Sometimes they’re in our bodies Sometimes they’re made of bones They can be a dinosaur Or maybe they’re just me Fire can burn through the earth The earth carries the oceans Around us is the sky Fire lives and dies in me And I am not alone
4.
Angel 03:12
Angel There’s a fallen angel Lying on my bed She’s a beautiful creature With wings of golden thread I don’t know where she came from Or if she’s come to stay But although she’s suffering She gives so much away She is strong She is vulnerable She sings me an open sky She looks at me Though her eyes are closed Her tired fingers Touch where I hurt the most There’s a falling angel Singing out of key When everyone has gone away She comforts me Is this really happening? Are you really here? Feels so real She is strong She is vulnerable She sings me an open sky She looks at me Though her eyes are closed Her tired fingers Touch where I hurt the most
5.
Circles & Lines There is a way, of walking in circles That is perfectly all right There is a way, of walking in circles When you need to pick a fight There is a way, of walking in straight lines With walls on both sides There is a way, of walking in straight lines Where the view is great But you’re always late To a party you don’t want to go Choose your weapon Snowball or gun A sword you can step on Stay or run A pen that can write There is no weapon as strong as the Light There is a way, of going nowhere That makes no sense at all There is a way, of going nowhere That gives all
6.
Hibernating 03:11
Hibernating Here is the cave That has grown around me This is the space Where the world can’t touch me Here come the tides They come and go, ebb and flow Now is the time To not be ready to let go I have a bullet In my butterfly wing Inside the darkness I am waiting to see Here is the night All the colours are here, but there ain’t no light Outside, the storm Is raging
7.
In Between 03:21
In Between In between you and me In between all The days when the sun is wild The days when I fall In the middle of longing In the midst of your grief When the world above Falls underneath When the hand stops its writing And the paint is all dry In between finding continents I cry Growing closer to that space The space in-between Moving nearer to that place The sacred in me Growing closer to me In between you and me In between all The days when the sun is pale The days I stand tall
8.
Aeneas Song 03:29
Aeneas Song I don’t want to be sad But I am I don’t want to loose you But here’s the truth The Sahara is made of sand And I never really had you I don’t want you to be gone But you are Wish I could keep you warm But here’s the truth You’re home is in my heart But you? You’re sleeping in the snow I don’t want the weight of you But it’s here I don’t want to carry you But here’s the truth Aeneas carried his dad And you? You’re living on my shoulders
9.
The One Who Reflects Me If these arms are wide enough If these flowers smell sweet enough Will you let me stay here for a while? Will you let me be by your side? And if I loose my way again Like so many times before Will you lift me up again? Will you carry me home? ‘Cause all I want Is to feel The way I feel with you If your eyes are lakes to me If your words have wings and could land in me Will I comprehend who you are? Will I understand what you give to me? ‘Cause all I want Is to feel The way I feel with you
10.
Train 04:12
I Am A Train If I am what I experience Then right now I am a Train Moving through the morning Carried by the sunlight I am, the reflection on the window If I am what I experience Then right now I’m the Sun Breaking through the window Reaching for my Face I am, the rays that play on my skin All my tears flow Like rain these days Like in one of those cities where it rains a lot But I'll reach a new city soon If I am what I experience Then right now I’m a song Streaming through your body Reaching for your mind I am song you will be singing I am the song you will be singing
11.
Willow Trees 03:19
Willow Trees I saw this fire Burning deep within you eyes I saw this fire Deep within your soul As you walked with me Beneath the willow trees You walked beside me Beneath the willow trees I walked this wire From my heart into your mind I walked this wire Straight into your heart As you walked with me Beneath the willow trees You walked beside me Beneath the willow trees You brought me higher And I raise my glass to you You brought me higher I bless you, my love
12.
Soft 04:10
Soft (Sound Of Falling Things) A leaf of a maple tree A book from a shelf Your shirt at the end of the day Raindrops on the waves of the sea A bomb from an aeroplane A sheet of linen A pin in a quiet theatre The jumping trout returns again Glass of a glass-stained window Thunder on our roof The patient’s heart from surgeon’s hands The guillotine in 1801 A snowflake on the fire Ashes on the snow A cup on our stone floor kitchen Bird dropping on a wire A meteor in the night A star once had grace Ray of light on half opened eyes Bird of prey in decisive flight
13.
Made It 00:47
Made It You made it through the storm and rain A storm that seemed to have no end A wind that blows through every thing that finds it underway You made it through the storm and rain And found A place to stay

about

Cairns & Edward Norway

Cairns & Edward is a songwriting, musical group of 3, based in Norway. We love writing songs and making melodies together. The process of making a song is such a special one, and we have come to see that the songs really have a life of their own. They travel through us, flow in their own rhythms and ask for their own melodies and words. We also work within other art-genres. ... more
