This song is very rare, hard to find. Google offers no direct matches. Torrent and emule did not offer any hits. Yet, its melody and lyrics are simple and beautiful, deserving to be found.
Luckily, there is blog entry that offer a clue, to search into Google groups. And that finally leads to the english version. The song is originally in Swedish (You can find the original song in Youtube). A smash hit in 1995 (in Sweden). The original title is Högre mark (Higher Ground.)
And finding the lyrics online is a unsolvable challenge. I have to get the lyrics in the old fashion way, by listening to it.
Do let me know if there correction required (especially in the 4th stanza)

Higher ground by idde schultz
hey you
it is not that i looking for good news
not expecting any changes in you
no no that not why i am back
hey you
i did not came back to your house again
to find out if you have a brand new friend
it was long ago that i was sick with desire
[Chorus]
I just wanna know a secret
And find out if there is
A blue blue heaven for the bitter
Where we could fly and then land again
On higher ground
hey you,
do u remember when the nights awake
look picture at ice cold space
on a arise as such
when nothing can happens.
[Chorus]
hey you
it is not that i looking for good news
not expecting any changes in you
no no that not why i am back
hey you
i should ask myself the reason why
I think i see the answer in yr eyes
it is a color that, and is not the one I remember
