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
