Pihka ja myrsky - Sydän ei nuku
Song: Lasse Turunen, Text: Laura Madekivi
Silmissä suolaa
sisällä sataa aavikko
Huuleni kaipaa
kosketusta janoaa
Miksi vellot pinnan alla?
Miksen voi sua koskettaa?
Miksen voi mä rauhaa saada,
rauhaa tähän rantaan
Sydän ei nuku
Sydän ei nuku
se öisin oottaa pohjassaan
Sydän ei nuku
Sydän ei nuku
se minua täällä valvottaa
ja, kun tulee aamu
se tunteet pintaan tuo kellumaan
Sydän ei nuku
Sydän ei nuku
Vetäytyi kuin laskuvesi
sanat virran mukana
Huusin itkuni ulapalle
mut se ei vastaa
Miksi vellot pinnan alla?
Miksen voi sua koskettaa?
Miksen voi mä rauhaa saada,
rauhaa tähän rantaan
