Lyrics
September The Ninth
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.
Woman wishing for wings,
(Too large a lump to pass for bird),
Hopes that by wishing hard enough
She will cast off the ballast.
And the swallows
Will politely accept her waving arms
As wings,
And she will join in with them,
And she will rise up with them,
And she will
Fly.
