Lyrics

Swans

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.

There's flowers in my house

And I bought them myself

No surprises in the record collection

You must have thought I was someone else

I'm still afraid to get lost

In a city I might explore

But I'm not afraid to have

An eloquent boy at my door

In my door, in my door, in my door

Oh you want to be a writer

Fantastic idea

You say you've never seen Alaska

I really think you'll like it there

Maybe you should travel with me

Is this the best idea

Because you've never seen a red wood

and you've never dodged a deer

A deer, a deer, a dear

A deer, a deer, my dear

One swan is deceiving us all

Oh I for one should know

I never felt myself so graceful

And I never swam so slow

So slow, so slow, so slow
