Darling Lay Me Down
Music and lyrics by Daniel Hammarstedt
Darling, lay me down
Run your fingers through my crown
Let it all flow free
Darling, bleed all over me
Darling, say goodbye
Cross your heart and hope to die
But your heart is made of stone
Yes, your heart is made of stone
Do you pray for me?
Say, are you lost in me?
Darling, seal my fate
Tell me death is not too late
Lay a rose to rest
Nail a thorn right through my chest
Darling, breathe a sigh
Close my eyes, I’ll tell you why
From the dark to you I came
In the dark you’ll find my name
Have you lost your way?
Say, are you led astray?
Blue
Music and lyrics by Daniel Hammarstedt
Blue girl, lost in yearn
Haven’t you learned all this time
Blue boy, no more joy
Cut up your wrists and you’re gone
Goodbye…
Blue girl from 109
I’ll never see you again
Can’t forget those haunted eyes
You squeezed the last life from your limbs
Goodbye…
Blue Ruben, all swinging free
Oh, what a sight for your wife
Could not find another way
So with a rope around your neck you said hi…
And goodbye…
Blue man in my childhood’s room
I heard all your cries every night
Blue chef, what have you done?
They say you won’t come here any more
I guess its goodbye…
Blue clouds in my head
So it was contagious after all
Blue stains upon my face
The antidote is simple and plain
Goodbye…
Goodbye, goodbye, never say die
Goodbye, goodbye, never say die
Morphine
Music and lyrics by Daniel Hammarstedt
Morphine
I love you
You’re everywhere
Everywhere in me
Your move was smooth
You came unseen
Wiped my skin so clean
Morphine
So clean
Morphine
A frozen dream
I fell in love without a single tear
My heart’s so cold
But heavenly
Heavenly morphine
Morphine
So clean
Morphine
Your lips on mine
Morphine
Flow like the
Morphine
So pure and clean
You took me down
Saved me from the mean
You froze my heart
Spoke to me so quietly, morphine
Morphine
So clean
Morphine
Your lips on mine
Morphine
Flow like the
Broken
Music and lyrics by Daniel Hammarstedt
So you got out there in the cold
With a sweet unbroken soul in search for gold
You want the world, you want it all
But my love this is the place where we all fall
You thought that love could set you free
But it took away all that you wanted it to be
You thought he’d give you what missed
But all you got was a deceitful lying kiss
You’re broken darling
You won’t be the same
Broken baby
No you can’t be fixed again
So you got scared now, did you babe
Never knew what kind of pain life could bring
So you say “it’s lose or win”
But you don’t even know what kind of world you’re in
It’s broken darling
Everything is lost
It’s broken baby
No it can’t be fixed any more
Take a look inside my soul
You won’t find a single thing that is whole
Press your lips against my heart
But I can’t use it like I did back from the start
It’s broken darling
My heart is just a mess
It’s broken baby
No it can’t be fixed again
You thought that Jesus was for real
Yes, he was but his bones were not made of steel
You wear that cross upon your neck
But it’s not a symbol of fulfillment
It’s a wreck
He’s broken darling
He won’t come back no more
He’s broken darling
No he can’t be fixed any more
Look for one who’ll tell you why
But you can keep on searching till the day you die
Like a river flowing down
You must learn to let it go or you’ll drown
It’s broken
Everything is lost
It is broken baby
No it can’t be fixed again
So your childhood years passed by
It’s so strange how fast they went
You could cry
You try to find that road again
But you will never ever feel that way again
I see you crying down the shore
All your pieces will not fit anymore
Well, it’s not a puzzle you can solve
Don’t you get it pretty darling
Don’t you see
That it is broken darling
Everything is lost
It is broken baby
No it can’t be fixed again
To The Gallows
Music and lyrics by Daniel Hammarstedt
Take me down lord
Take me down to the gallows
Take me down lord
Take me down to the gallows
I know my time has come
I will be gone by the morning sun
I stole the Ring of Fire
I got blood on my hands
Hang my head lord
Hang my head lord in the tightest noose
Hang my head lord
Hang my head lord in the tightest noose
Let me feel the air below my feet
To a sound so sweet
Let this Ring of Fire fall to the ground
Lay me down lord
Lay me down on a bed of snow
Lay me down lord
Lay me down on a bed of snow
And let me sleep right there
All alone
Turn my heart to stone
Take this Ring of Fire
Lord it burned me
Fall In Love
Music and lyrics by Daniel Hammarstedt
My lips are dry
My hands are trembling
Emptiness is killing me
My will is gone
My flesh is weak
I thought I’d never fall like this
But I can’t lie no more, my darling
If you come here
Then I will fall in love with you
I try to breathe
I’m so afraid what you will say to me
My heart’s a mess
Almost to break
Maybe it’s best if you won’t come at all
Cause I will cut my wrists wide open
I’d fade away
If you should leave me here like this
I can’t pretend
Not anymore
I’m running out of lies
If you come here
There’s no return
I have to tell the truth
Cause I can’t lie no more, my darling
If you come here
Then I will fall in love with you
Gently Still My Heart
Music and lyrics by Daniel Hammarstedt
I have searched both high and low
To find the golden throne
I have walked so many roads
I’m weary to the bone
Tear my world apart
Gently still my heart
Time will heal
Time will kill
But it can never stay
You may run but in the end
No one gets away
Tear my world apart
Gently still my heart
So at last you found me here
Waiting for your bliss
Pure and white with eyes alight
My sweet nemesis
Tear my world apart
Gently still my heart
What you hold in your hands
Was granted from above
Kill me now
My guard is down
Strike me down with love
Tear my world apart
Gently still my heart
Too Little Much Too Late
Music and lyrics by Daniel Hammarstedt
Well, darling, I am really flattered that you took your precious time to go out on a date with me
I mean, after all these years of yearning…on my behalf of course
But time has surely passed by…that’s pretty obvious
And I’ve gotta tell you that…I’m sorry, I don’t know how to put this but…All I can say to you is that it’s…it’s…
Too little too late
Too much too soon
Everybody wants a trip to the moon
Broken and torn
Ripped and bruised
Honey your love is way too used
Too little much too late
You were not worth the wait
I don’t want another date
Too little much too late for me
Too little too late
Too much too soon
Everybody wants the month of June
Pretty at night, dead by noon
Honey your love is out of tune
Too little much too late
You were not worth the wait
I don’t want another date
It’s too little much too late for me
Too late baby too damn little
You had way too much too soon
Too late baby too damn little
You had way too much too little too late too much too soon
Everybody wants a trip to the moon
Broken and torn
Ripped and bruised
Honey your love is way too used
Too little much too late
You were not worth the wait
I don’t want another date
It’s too little much too late for me
Too little too late
Too much too soon
No, I don’t think my name’s Pat Boone
As time goes by now so do you
Honey your love is overdue
You’ve been worn out baby
Worn out darling
Worn out like a pair of gloves
Worn out baby
Worn out darling
You, you cannot give more love
Worn out baby
Worn out darling
Worn out like a pair of gloves
Worn out baby
Worn out darling
No, you cannot give more love
Lord Of Song
Music and lyrics by Daniel Hammarstedt
Standing here with my head up high
Lords of battle, hear my cry
I’ve been lost for a thousand years
Almost drowned in my own tears
An angel falls with his broken wings
Hope is lost but still he sings
When darkness steals my sun away
I light a song and dream away
I don’t need their gold and jewels
It will sink their ship of fools
Now let them drag their chains on me
Cause music always sets me free
I sing for thee
Lord of song
Flow in me
Golden sea
What once was pure now lies in shame
With bloodied hands they praise your name
I lay my oath upon your dove
I shall never fail to love
I touch the dew and I kiss the thorn
I praise the star where I was born
And though I bleed inside my soul
As long as there’s music I still roll
I sing for thee
Lord of song
Flow in me
Golden sea
Marianne
Music and lyrics by Daniel Hammarstedt
I see you’re lying there
A warm wind, it blows right through your hair
The odor of your skin
It melts me from within
I gaze into the blue
The sky knows that I’m in love with you
And darling can it be
That you’re in love with me
Flee to my hill
Glow like gold
Under the sun
I love you Marianne
You’re here but far away
I know one day you’ll walk away
And leave me thinking back
And slowly fade to black
You lie there sweet and fair
I breathe the summers golden air
The calm before the storm
The rose that hides the thorn
Flee to my hill
Glow like gold
Under the sun
I love you Marianne
I’ve been down
I’ve been lost
I’ve been everywhere else
You sent me here and there
Till me heart was a mess
Marianne
Do you tell lies
I’m broken but my heart still pounds
Flee to my hill
Glow like gold
Under the sun
I love you Marianne
Marianne
Marianne
Marianne
Tim The Frog
Music and lyrics by Daniel Hammarstedt
What have you done?
My wicked son
Don’t you remember what I said was wrong?
Oh god above
Protect my love
Don’t let him drift away from your white dove
No, sweet daddy, oh don’t waste your prayers on me
Look, I’m going where the rain can never find my head again
My dearest boy
My only joy
You break a mother’s heart from Delacroix
How could you leave me here in grief?
My little Tim
What have you done to me?
No, sweet mummy, oh don’t shed no tears for me
Look, I’m going where the wind can never find my face again
It’s kinda strange
But since that day
They talk about him almost every day
Lost in the fog is Tim the frog
He went a walking with a dream and a crop
No, sweet singer, oh don’t dwell your thoughts on me
Look, I’m going where your song can never find my path again
Fare thee well
Tim the frog
So long so long
Godspeed
Wherever you may go I wish you all the best of worlds
So long so long
End of the song

Tangerine And Wine
Music and lyrics by Daniel Hammarstedt
Tangerine and wine
I forgot to say goodbye
I wish I had not seen the sun so bright and indigo
Bound for glory
You stole my heart while my captain dropped dead
I sang my song
But darling the words I sang were wrong
Tangerine and wine
I forgot to say goodbye
I wish I had not seen the sun so bright and indigo
Bound for leaving
I tried to reach but I couldn’t get none
I heard you say that some things are meant to slip away
Tangerine and wine
I forgot to say goodbye
I wish I had not seen the sun so bright and indigo
Bound for heaven
The clouds were strong but I couldn’t hold on
I fell down
And all that I got was this strange song
