From Floating into the Night1989

Written by David Lynch, Angelo Badalamenti, David Lynch

Lyrics

The Swan

[Verse 1] You made the tears of love Flow like they did when I saw The dying swan The swan that died in darkness I want your smile I dreamt of your swan smile And then wings moved the air Water rings widened As bells sounded In the night [Verse 2] Then your smile died On the water It was only a reflection Dying with the swan
