Lyrics

Black Swan

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 was a boy from the hills

I ran so much before she came

Then I saw you we grew together

You were just the same

We fell in love oh so desperately

Against your families will

We planned to run away

She said to meet me at night on the hill

They'll never find us is what she said

We could have made it out but

In the night they sold her life

Now there's nothing more than this

A lonely sky amongst the mist

Now you're gone

My black swan

I know there's nothing left to say

But if you ever fly my way

Sing your song

Now you're gone

Love so strong

My black swan

I may have said the case was a mystery

The joy has set them free

Now the town sails my history

To a place no one should be

You did the crime that's what they say

I wish I could clear my name from

That dark night they stole our light

Now there's nothing more than this

A lonely sky amongst the mist

Now you're gone

My black swan

I know there's nothing left to say

But if you ever fly my way

Sing your song

Now you're gone

Love so strong

My black swan

They'll never find us is what she said

We could have made it out but

In the night they sold her life

You did the crime that's what they say

I wish I could clear my name from

That dark night they stole our light

Now there's nothing more than this

A lonely sky amongst the mist

Now you're gone

My black swan

I know there's nothing left to say

But if you ever fly my way

Sing your song

Now you're gone

Love so strong

My black swan

My black swan

My black swan
