Europe

Released: October 20, 2017

Songwriter: Aaron Raitiere Joey Tempest David Cobb

I'm out here gently drifting
We get so lost in the past
Like letting go of the future
Knowing yesterday won't last

So I'll cut the cable
The time is now we've made it safe so far
Escape into the light of the Moon and the shooting stars
To where you are

The clock hands stall their ticking
Maybe the Universe is numb
Venus shining clear and pleasant
Among the mother's many Suns

So I'll make up stories
To put the darkness in disguise
Escape into the light of the Moon and the shooting stars
To where you are

So I'll paint the picture
Watch the colours, as they slowly dry
Escape into the light of the Moon and the shooting stars
To where you are

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.
