Let's Take a Walk
Stefan Andersson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I woke up in the morning
You lay twisted in your sheets
Crying and calling
My name in your sleep
I heard you talking
About the things
I know you hide inside
Now you don't wanna talk about it
You keep me locked outside

Let's take a walk out in the rain
Let it wash away your pain
Don't you worry about tomorrow
Let's take a walk out in the rain

Tessie you can't hide away
So let it out unloose those chains
Let me know about your sorrow
Let's take a walk out in the rain

Anything that I can do
Anything to get you through
To keep your mind set on tomorrow
Let's take a walk out in the rain

We started walking
In the early morning light
I held your hand
As I wiped away
Those tears of memories
From your beautiful eyes
Just like paradise




Now if I can, I'll make you understand
It isn't worth paying the price

This artist is wonderful. I know he got compared a lot to Bryan Adams because of his similar vocals but he is far superior as a songwriter. Check out the American artist John Kilzer, Stefan Andersson is quite similar to him in vocals and songwriting.
