"Rocky Trail" lyrics

"Rocky Trail"

One more time
Let's say you give me one more time
One last chance to speak again
Let's start from what we left unsaid
And here we go

Brave enough to go climbing a wall
So high that no sunlight is seen through winter
Brave enough to go traveling around the world
Without money to eat or sleep for
Seeing what you can do with your hands and feet
I feel there is no question about it
Almost anything you can imagine
Almost any goal, you will get there

I wish you had been more of a talker
Not the kind that is just flapping his lips
And not the kind that looks away
But learns through his eyes when somebody's watching
Maybe you could have told me
There was a world on your shoulders that needed lifting
Maybe I could have helped you with that
The weight is not easy I know, but you never know

I thought your shoes were good
I thought they would take you to the end of any road
I thought your back was strong
I should have carried you to the top of the rocky trail
(Carried you to the top of the rocky trail)
I should have carried you to the top of the rocky trail

How am I to know about your problems and your load
I am blind to what you show
I am waiting to be told
I never ask

How am I to know about your problems and your load
I am blind to what you show
I am waiting to be told
I never ask

"Rocky Trail" was the first new music by Kings Of Convenience in 12 years. It was the first taste of the duo's fourth studio album, "Peace Or Love". The song and its video were released on the 30th of April, 2021.
"Another classic Eirik composition that skillfully ignores the verse-chorus-verse blueprint," Erlend Øye said of this song in a press release. "It's pop music, but not as we know it."
