Lyrics

Like the Swallow

She's like the swallow that flies so high She's like the river that never runs dry She's like the sunshine on the lee shore I love my love and love is no more Its out of wild roses she made a bed A stony pillow for her head She's like the sunshine on the lee shore I love my love and love is no more
