[Verse 1]
The cold has a voice
It talks to me
Stillborn by choice
It airs no need
To hold

[Pre-Chorus]
Old man feels the cold
Oh, baby, don't ‘cause I've been told

[Chorus]
Stay on these roads
We shall meet, I know
Stay on, my love
We shall meet, I know, I know

[Verse 2]
Where joy should reign
These skies restrain
Shadows your love
The voice trails off again (x2)

[Pre-Chorus]
Old man feels the cold
Oh, baby, don't ‘cause I've been told

[Chorus 2]
Stay on these roads
We shall meet, I know
Stay on, my love
You feel so weak, be strong
Stay on, stay on
We shall meet, I know, I know
I know, my love, I know

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Feel the cold
Winter's gone, I'm on my own

[Chorus 3]
Stay on these roads
We shall meet, I know
Stay on, my love
We will meet, I know
So stay on, I know
Stay, my love, stay on
We will meet, I know, I know

​a-ha

A-ha is a Norweigian synth pop group formed in 1982. All ten of their studio albums have either reached #1 or #2 in Norway – the first three also reaching the top 10 in several countries across Europe – with a total of over 35 million sold worldwide. They became a ‘teen pin-up band’ and were followed by screaming, enthusiastic fans. In 2012, all three members were appointed to knighthood in Norway for their contributions to music.

Frontman Morten Harket was lured away from the blues/soul group Soldier Blue in 1982 by keyboardist Magne Furuholmen to join his band with guitarist Paul Waaktaar. When Harket saw a song in Waaktaar’s notebook that was going to be titled either “a-ha” or “A-hem”, he suggested naming the band “a-ha”.

A year later, the band released their debut single “Take On Me” in 1984 to huge success in Norway. However, when the song was re-recorded and re-released alongside their debut album Hunting High And Low in the summer of 1985 it achieved massive international success, reaching #1 in eleven countries. Its success was definitely aided by its groundbreaking, award-winning music video of pencil-sketch animation combined with live-action shots.
