Songwriter: Joey Tempest

So many words have passed through my mind
Never thought I'd be so blind
Wish I could understand you

So many things I've heard and seen
But still don't know what you mean
When you say "I'm leaving you"

I wish I could remember
Everything I've learnt

I've tried and tried to be so good
And I know I should
Say something before you go

Cause every time I've done something wrong
It's so hard to be strong
Gone are the feelings I want to show

Words of wisdom, teach me more
Words of wisdom, so much more

Europe

Europe is a Swedish rock band formed in Upplands Väsby, Sweden in 1979, by frontman Joey Tempest, guitarist John Norum, bassist Peter Olsson, and drummer Tony Reno. They obtained a major breakthrough in Sweden in 1982 by winning the televised competition “Rock-SM” (Swedish Rock Championships): it was the first time this competition was held, and Europe became a larger success than the competition itself.
