Svalen/The Swallow
A Swallow was flying
South one day
Stopped for a moment.s rest
Along the way
A teardrop on her head
Didn,t tell her it was raining
Just the statue above her
Was sad crying and waiting
The swallow looked up and said
Anything I can do
The statue replied and said
Will you do these things im asking you to do
Chorus
Take the gold leaves from my body
Take the dimond,s from my sword
Take the rubies from my eyes
Spread them far across my land
If you do this I,ll be happy
If only for a while
Then you can spread your wings
And fly away my little child

She took the dimond from his sword
Droped it at the child who sold the matches
In the street
Then the rubies from his eyes and the gold leaves
Came floating down from the skyes
Now the statue lies in ruins
By his side a little bird oh so still
Theres a sad and weiry smile
But the echo can be heard for miles
Chorus
