Album: The Dreaming

Night of the swallow

The night doesn't like it.
Looks just like your face on the moon, to me.
And I won't let you do
What you want to do.
It's funny how, even now,
You're laughing.
I won't let you do it.
If you go, I'll let the law know,
And they'll head you off when you touch the ground.
Ooh, please, don't go through with this.
I don't like the sound of it.
It's funny how, even now,
You're miles away.
I won't let you do it.
I won't let you do it.
I won't let you go through with it.
";Meet them over at Dover.
I'll just pilot the motor,
Take them over the water
";With a hired plane,
And no names mentioned.
Tonight's the night of the flight.
Before you know,
I'll be over the water
";Like a swallow.
There's no risk.
I'll whisk them up in no moonlight.
And though pigs can fly,
They'll never find us
Posing as the night,
And I'm home before the morning.";
In Malta, catch a swallow,
For all of the guilty--to set them free.
Wings fill the window,
And they beat and bleed.
They hold the sky on the other side
Of BORDERlines.
";Meet them over at Dover.
I'll just pilot the motor,
Take them over the water,
Like a swallow flying to Malta,
";With a hired plane,
And no names mentioned.
Tonight's the night of the flight.
Before you know,
I'll be over the water
Like a swallow.
";There's no risk.
I'll whisk them up in no moonlight.
And though pigs can fly,
They'll never find us
Posing as the night,
And I'm home before the morning.
";Give me a break!
Ooh, let me try!
Give me something to show
For my miserable life!
Give me something to take!
Would you break even my wings,
Just like a swallow?
";Let me--let me go
With a hired plane,
And no names mentioned.
Tonight's the night of the flight.
Before you know,
I'll be over the water
Like a swallow.
(";Let me--let me go!";)
";There's no risk.
I'll whisk them up in no moonlight.
And though pigs can fly,
They'll never find us
Posing as the night,
And I'm home before the morning.
(";Let me--let me go!";)
";With a hired plane,

";There's no risk.
I'll whisk them up in no moonlight.
And though pigs can fly,

Posing as the night,
And I'm home before the morning--";
But you're not a swallow!
