Look at that!
A Swallow in the winter
It must be cold, I wonder why it stayed
I shall write a letter to the paper
And he did, hoping he'd be paid
Money is the new religion
Look Mamma
A Swallow in the winter
Over there beside the statue's feet
He is cold, I'm sure I saw him shivering
We should throw him something nice to eat
No
We don't want to cause any harm
I don't know what he's doing here
But don't scare him or cause him alarm
It's not for us to interfere
Little bird
Come closer here beside me
Bring the heart, the heart that made you wise
It is dark although I know it's daytime
I am blind, so you can be my eyes
Look
There's a bird what a strange sweet surprise
Just to look at him makes me feel cold
And the statue has lost both his eyes
Just to look at him makes me feel old
Look at that
A Swallow in the winter
Very quaint but odd that you should stay
It is cold and where have all your friends gone?
Run along, shoo! Get gone!
Go on! Why won't you fly away?
Mostly I worry for those who've lost their hope
People upset who don't think that they can cope
Tell me about all the things you see below
Fly little bird just as far as you can go
Go now before the snow!
Over there
A Swallow in the winter
He looks cold, but somehow quite serene
What a joy to have a pair of wings and
Just to think of things he's seen
Look!
He's preparing to fly overheard
I am glad he decided to go
He is tired and his eye's a bit red
He wouldn't survive in the snow!
So goodbye
And good luck in the sunshine
He is calm and happy I can tell
His friends are in the summer waiting
So goodbye good luck and
Love and hope and prayers
Godspeed
Farewell!
