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 me

Posing as the night

I'm home before the morning

In Malta, catch a swallow

For all of the guilty to let them free

Wings fill the window

And they beat and bleed

They hold the sky on the other side

Of borderlines

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

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 me

Posing as the night

I'm home before the morning

Give me a break

Ooh, let me fly

Give me something to show

For my miserable life

Something to take

Would you break even my wings

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

There's no risk

I'll whisk them up in no moonlight

And though pigs can fly

They'll never find me

Posing as the night

And I'm home before the morning

(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 (Let me, let me go!)

Like a swallow

There's no risk

I'll whisk them up in no moonlight

And though pigs can fly

They'll never find me

Posing as the night

And I'm home before the morning (Let me, let me go!)
