When The Swallows Fly
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wander lonely as a cloud
I keep my head above the crowd
Ain't nobody else as big as me
But I must remember friends
What has to start just has to end
Everybody's got a destiny
And I know when the swallows flies
Yes, I know, and the earth just dies
Then I'll be told what I am
The swallow and me
I'll look after number one
I'll forget the beggar's son
Everybody's got to stay alive
I'll keep walking amongst the clouds
I'll keep my head above the crowd
I'll watch them live, I'll watch them die
And I know when the swallows flies
Yes, I know, and the earth just dies
Then I'll be told what I am
The swallow and me
Yes, I know when the swallows flies
Yes, I know, and the earth just dies
Yes, I know when the swallow flies
Yes, I know, and the earth just dies
