about

"I was going to name the record Phaedrus. I thought it would sum it up nicely. Some sort of dialogue about love. It's the first song recorded for the record and the first time it was ever played it the time you hear right here. I wish all songs were like that - one take. I just love Olivier's playing on this one." - Leif Vollebekk

lyrics

-- Lyrics --

The way that it was
The way that it was
The way that it was
Is the way it should be
 
Now I have had visions 
Ever since I was a child
And when you kissed me and smiled
It was all I could see
 
Now were you with me 
Or was I with you
When I drank from the Lethe
Tell me wasn’t it you?
 
The way that it was
Yeah, the way that it was 
The way that it was
Is the way it should be
