Hedvig’s Lullaby
(Johan Bengtsson)
I’m not here to save you
Even though I’d do what I can
And I’m not here to change you life
Even if I might have done
No, I am here to help you
When you’re down and sad
And I am here to be the same
When Everyone else has gone mad
Sleep on my arm, little soldier of love
Like a bird in its nest, preparing to fly
Again
And I am here to cook you tea
To give you wine and bread
And I am here to hold your hand
While you’re lying sick in bed
And I am not a teacher
To teach you wrong from right
But maybe I can be the torch
When there is no other light
Sleep on my arm, little bird in your nest
Like the girl of my dreams, so close to my chest
And I am here beside you
To stroke your chin tonight
To tell you that you’re beautiful
That you really fit in white
And I hope that what I promise you
Will make your day tonight
Not an “ordinary day
For Johan brought the light
Tonight”
Oh, sleep on my arm, little girl of my dreams
Like a promise I keep, you know what it means
Tonight
