Like A Swallow lyrics
Song information
Artist: Stina Nordenstam Album: People Are Strange
Lyrics
He's like the swallow that flies so high He's like the river that never runs dry He's like the sunshine on the lee shore He was my love, my love is no more
Out in the garden I'm picking roses, how could he not The more he picked and the more he pulled Until I gathered an apron full
She climbed on yonder hill above To give a rose unto her love She gave him one, she gave him three She gave her heart for company
And as they sat on yonder hill His heart grew hard, so harder still He has two hearts instead of one She says, "young man, what have you done?"
"How foolish, foolish you must be To think I love no one but thee The world's not made for one alone I take delight in everyone."
Out of these roses he made a bed A stony pillow for his head He lay his head down, no word he spoke ....
