Slanted Floor Lyrics

Now Be my eyes
Paint colours bright
As day turns to night
Baby, be my eyes

And Tell me, Dear
All this freedom left to share
At the cost that we cannot bare
Tell me, tell me Dear

Out here
We dance along the rim
Though none of us can swim
Like we know the deep we`re in
And I,
I feel like I felt before
We live on a slanted floor

And so
Tell me all the things we know
Is heaven still above

And I,
I feel like I felt before
We live on a slanted floor, floor

I can't even believe how much I love this song.

It says that the lyric was edited by me on the lower description above, I did send in a correction but the one shown is not what I sent in. I have since bought this album and notice that these are the lyrics that are in the lyric book. They do not, however match what he is singing in the actual track. Those of us Morten fans are well aware that he tends to forget lyrics, sometimes I've noticed him change them from time to time ( there is a line in Take on Me that I have heard him sing 3 different ways...), whether on the fly or planned, I don't know but this is the first time they changed between the recording and the printing of the booklet, LOL Love him anyway, he is so amazing. I really do Love this song, I don't even understand why, I mean, it's a great song but it just hit me right in the gut when I heard it. My Favorite one of all his songs.

@rndmr2 I did the same thing when I first submitted the lyrics for the rest of the Letter from Egypt tracks, as I went with both the lyric booklet and what I could hear on the tracks themselves, but all of them default to these incomplete ones. I have no clue why, but I wish they were able to be corrected.
