The Mourning Dove  Lyrics and music copyright 2025 by Mike Dampf
David Leadbitter on bass

At the river's edge, where small fry feed
there's that big blue heron in the pickerel weed
ravens rasp in cedar boughs
hanging on the line is a red, silk blouse

Can't you hear the neighbors, just downstream
big dogs bark, little girls scream
Back in town people act so strange
I'm just country, man and that won't change

When she left, last time around
I buried her dancing shoes in the ground
If she was here we'd be in love
asleep to the sound of The Mourning Dove

Haven't seen her in quite a while
She ran away, just like a child
I don't know who you could call
Seems the friends we had weren't mine at all



The Mourning Dove

MY LOVE BY $HÖCKLAN
I just gave up on ur love 
I can feel u when ur far away my love 
I can give u anything, that u want my love
I can even give u all my love 
my love 
I don't wanna see u cry my love
so why my love 
why you feel like u can smile my love 
my love 

I don't wanna see you cry 
so why my love 
when I'm come home 
it's like you died my love inside my love 


MY LOVE XO $HÖCKLAN

room is full of your footprints
I feel your breath
feel your scent
My ears heare  tender voice
but - my eyes see nothing 

No tears
just heart is broken.
No compliants
just  words unspoken.

I didn't realize you leaving me now
what am I suppose to do
you left  for ten minutes or for good 
door are closed. and you'r gone
So - what now?

No tears
just heart is broken.
No compliants
just  words unspoken.

Should I try  to run for you
follow your steps in misty morning
dial your number one more time?
waiting fo letter and check 
the door, 
when somone every time pass by 

No tears
just heart is broken.
No compliants
just  words unspoken.

heart is broken

words unspoken

no tears, just heart is broken

Lyrics:

Ett brev på hallmattan med mitt namn
“Beslut fattat”—svart bläck, kall hand
Kaffe på papperet, fingeravtryck i svart
Väntsalens nummerlappar som aldrig blir din tur
Jag knäpper min jacka, låtsas vara hel
Räknar kvitton som en bön jag inte ber
Telefonen blinkar utan svar i natt
Jag viskar: “Hör du mig?” till en tyst lur

Andas in till fyra—håll
Säg mitt namn så det känns i mitt bröst

När samhället släpper taget faller jag
Mellan raderna, utan lön, utan svar
Du säger “bit ihop”—men mina tänder är glas
Mitt huvud under ytan, jag simmar utan luft
Om det finns en hand någonstans i stan
Låt den vara varm, inte bara plan
Jag skriver “hjälp” i immigt fönsterglas
För jag vill leva—men jag orkar snart knappt alls
För jag vill leva—men jag orkar snart knappt alls

Bussen åker förbi
Jag säljer min gitarr för en hyra till
Kylskåpets lampa lyser över tomt vitt bröd
En kylskåps magnet som håller kvar en död dröm
På kylens kant står ditt foto snett
Vi skrattar där—det gör nästan ont att se
Jag ringer ett nummer med darrande hand
“Förlåt, men tiden är slut, försök igen en annan dag”

Andas in till fyra—håll
Räkna hjärtslag tills natten blir mjuk

När samhället släpper taget faller jag
Mellan raderna, utan lön, utan svar
Du säger “bit ihop”—men mina tänder är glas
Mitt huvud under ytan, jag simmar utan luft
Om det finns en hand någonstans i stan
Låt den vara varm, inte bara plan
Jag skriver “hjälp” i immigt fönsterglas
För jag vill leva—men jag orkar snart knappt alls

Ett kvitto vikt till en båt i fickan,
hur ett “vi hör av oss” kan väga ett helt dygn.
Människor bär varandra. Siffror bär ingen.

Om någon högre makt räknar våra år
Låt mig räkna dina andetag tills dagen går
Om mening är tystnad, låt min tystnad bli din sång
Jag står kvar även när vägen känns för lång

När samhället släpper taget—håll i mig
Låt en liten värme få bo hos dig
Jag är mer än ett ärende
Jag är människa—kan du se mig nu?

Jag orkar inte mer...

Nausea

Lyrics:

[Verse]
Well I feel like I'm livin' on the outside
I never even had a chance
'Cause it's hard when your whole world is burnin' down
And you ain't even tried to light a match

[Chorus]
Oh I guess it's easy when you're lookin' at the other side
Yeah I guess it doesn't matter if you try
If you try
Yeah it doesn't really matter
If you try

[Verse 2]
All my friends say
"You're better off without her
And that's just how the story goes"
Well if that's true
Why's it hard to move on?
If I was wrong
Why am I the one alone?

[Chorus]
Oh I guess it's easy when you're lookin' at the other side
Yeah I guess it doesn't matter if you try
If you try
Yeah it doesn't really matter
If you try
[Bridge]
And they say
"That's just the way it goes
Yeah it's all out of your control
There's no need to go and sell your soul"
And I say
"Leave me alone"
I said
"Leave me alone"


Leave Me Alone

[Verse 1]
Let's pretend you never lied
Stayed up all night to hear my side
Thought about my day
Said no words, gave my heart some relief
Held my hand, never let go

[Pre-Chorus]
Held it like forever, but it slipped away
Smiles like rain, only every touch just a game
I gave my all, you let it fall, it's over now
All over, all over

[Chorus]
All the lies, all the games you played
Build your world from the words you'd say
Burn the roads I'm walking now
No more pretending, I've had enough now

[Verse 2]
Let's pretend your heart was never cold
Stayed close when I needed you
Remembered every promise I might have let go
Lifted me up, didn't let me fall

[Pre-Chorus]
Every promise like the echo of a festival
Every embrace, every clever moment
I'm moving fast, won't look back
Your shadow fades, I'm taking my time

[Chorus]
Let's pretend you always tried
Stayed up all night to hear my side
Stayed close when I needed you
Kept your promises, followed through
Let's pretend I never saw the signs
Pretend your hands were never mine
I step forward, leave your space
No more mess, no more fake embrace
All the lies, all the games you played
Build your world from the words you'd say
Burn the roads I'm walking now
No more pretending, I've had enough 
Now this is the end

Now This Is the End
