Hunting High And Low

Hunting High And Low

Die letzte Single von "Hunting High And Low" war "Hunting High And Low" selber. Sie wurde im Mai 1986 veröffentlicht, allerdings nicht in der Album Version, sondern in einem um Klassen besseren Remix von Alan Tarney, der von dem Londoner Philharmonic Orchestra unterstützt wurde. Auf der Single war außerdem noch die Demo Version von "The Blue Sky", die von A-ha produziert wurde. Die 12'' Version schließlich wartete zusätzlich mit einer Extended Version auf.

Texte

HUNTING HIGH AND LOW (3:48)

(Pål Waaktaar)

Here I am
And within the reach of my hands
She's sound asleep
And she's sweeter now
Than the wildest dream
Could have seen her
And I watch her slipping away
But I know I'll be hunting high and low

High
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to
Hunting high and low
High
There's no end to lengths I'll go

To find her again
Upon this my dreams are depending
Through the dark
I sense the pounding of her heart
Next to mine
She's the sweetest love I could find
So I guess I'll be hunting high and low

High
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to
Hunting High and Low
High
Do you know what it means to love you

I'm hunting high and low
And now she's telling me
She's got to go away
I'll always be hunting high and low
Hungry for you
Watching me tearing myself to pieces
Hunting high and low

High
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to
Oh, for you I'll be hunting high and low

THE BLUE SKY (3:10)

(Pål Waaktaar)

I find it hard to breathe
As life just eats away
At the faces that surround me
They look tired today
The lady at my table
Doesn't want me here
I just want to talk to her

But would she laugh at my accent
And make fun of me
It doesn't seem like this
blue sky's here for me

There are no girls in here
As far as I can see
Only pin-up posters
Looking down at me
Watching papercups of coffee
Growing cold before my eyes
All the things I see
That make me realize

I'm in this big world without you
Nothing to my name
I never knew that
Blue sky meant such pain

I'm dying to be different
In the coffee shop
I've lived on borrowed strength
Now my supplies are cut
Though i'm older than my looks
And older than my years
I'm too young to take on
My deepest fears

Oh, I used to be confused
But now I just don't know
Since you left I've been watching
Blue skies come and go
