A-Ha - Stay On These Roads

Stay on These Roads is the third full-length album by the pop band A-ha.

It was released on 3 May 1988 by Warner Bros. Records.

Six singles were also relesed from this record.

Stay on These Roads was the band's third studio album. The album's peak on the Billboard 200 was 148. The album was another big hit by A-ha internationally, selling over 4 million copies worldwide. Stay on These Roads achieved Platinum status in Brazil and Gold in the UK, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Germany and Double Platinum status in France.

William Ruhlmann of Allmusic said "in the U.K., the album became the group's third straight to peak at number two, though it charted for a shorter period than the first two albums, and there were four Top 25 hits—the title track, 'The Blood That Moves the Body,' 'Touchy!,' and 'You Are the One'."

Also included was A-ha's 1987 theme from the James Bond movie The Living Daylights, a U.K. number five that missed the U.S. charts.

Lead single "Stay on These Roads", number one in Norway, was a hit across Europe, including top-five showings in the UK, France, Austria and Ireland and top-ten chartings in Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland. Stay on These Roads included three more hit singles, "The Blood That Moves The Body", "Touchy!" and "You Are the One", though a final single, "There's Never a Forever Thing", was released only in Brazil. None of the singles charted on the Billboard Hot 100.

The lyrics:

The cold has a voice

It talks to me

Stillborn, by choice

It airs no need to hold

Old man feels the cold...

Oh baby don't

'cause I've been told

Stay on these roads

We shall meet, I know

Stay on...my love

We shall meet, I know

I know

Where joy should reign

These skies restrain

'Shadow your love...'

The voice trails off again

Old man feels the cold

Oh baby don't

'cause I've been told

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

Feel the cold

Winter's calling on my home..
