The Swallow

You cared for my dreams

Like a mother for her child

Oh all the love

You left behind

You got carried away

Like the swallow leaves with the winter sun

The rhythm we danced to

Turns into a lonely drum

You're gone, you're gone

You're gone with the winter sun

You were like a crusader

Desperate for the holy grail

So you had to move on

Far away, only words remain

I've tried to catch up

But even your shadow is a raw draft

The lilies are withered

That you once plucked

You're gone, you're gone

You're gone with the winter sun

You're gone, you're gone

You're gone with the winter sun

Now the swallow is back

But you, you stay wherever you are
