The Swing
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.
It's the swing
It's the swing like a pendulum
It marks the moments as the years go by in an innocent phase
The swing into Never-Never Land
There was a darkness like an old friend
That scratched and crawled up the wall
Into my life
Into my destiny
Into my desire
It's the swing
It's the swing like a pendulum
So look behind you when the race has run
And the winner is named
The swing into Never-Never Land
There was a darkness like an old friend
That scratched and crawled up the wall
Into my life
Well it's the swing
Yeah the swing like a pendulum
Between the pieces and between the lines
There is nothing to hide
The swing into Never-Never Land
It's the swing
It's the swing like a pendulum
