Call it a day/Tonight | leifstrandh.se

In 2016 Erik Ivarsson climbed down the ladder from the roaf of KORV KIOSK in Majorna. The best guitarist I ever heard playing in my neighbourhood. I asked him if he was willing to rehearse two of my songs. Yes of course, he answered. Some days later he brought Erik Fastén on drums, Alexander Rimbäck on bass guitar and met me at Helikopter studios in Majorna to record the songs Call it a day and Tonight. Today finally mixed with Sven Jansson as producer. He´s also playing the hammond organ

and Kristin Lidell on trumpet.

CALL IT A DAY

I want to find, a letter in my mailbox tonight

Cause I want to know

if you read those words I sent to you

But the carridge returns - empty, again and again

And I´m reflecting on my own behaviour

But I seek no amends

Cause words that I sing, matters to me

And songs that I make up, rhymes with me, with me...

And I can be like a wild seed again

And let the wind carry me

Well it´s about time - we look arround ourselves

It´s about time - we don´t get waisted on the way

It´s about time - to let the water carry us away

It´s about time, we call it a day

And I can be like a wild seed again

And let the wind carry me

Well it´s about time - to leave the past behind

It´s about time - we don´t get waisted on the way

It´s about time - to let the water carry us away

It´s about time, we call it a day

Now that it´s said, this song can go on

And I can live with the fact that

Nothing´s seriously wrong

But since time is not on my side

I will let the music flow

And maybe I´ll see you arround

Another kind of show

Cause words that I sing,

matters to me

And songs that I make up,

rhymes with me...

And I can be

like an high flying eagle

And let the wind carry me

Well it´s about time

- we leave the past behind

It´s about time - we don´t get waisted on the way

It´s about time - to let the water carry us away

It´s about time

We call it a day

Let´s call it a day

TONIGHT

Gazing from my window in the night

Looking at a star, shining so bright

Maybe it´s shining on you somewhere

Twinkeling above us in the open air - tonight

Wonder why it always turns this way

All alone in the night with no words to say

It´s not that I´m escaping from the path I´m on

It´s more like I am searching for that special song

When it´s time to get up - Time to get away

When it´s time to get up - Time to get away - tonight...

All those stars seem to bore me now

But in this night, I´ll get out somehow

Looking for answers but questions still

Lingers in my head but they lead me where they will

When it´s time to get up - Time to get away

When it´s time to get up - Time to get away - tonight

Tonight,

Tonight
