Lyrics

Face on Breast

[Verse]

Swan, you glide above the thrashing

Release the catches, strain your wings behind your back

Paint his eyes, it will never lick those eyes

Smear the mouth, all across the thready sky

[Chorus]

I tried to show you, you didn't want to go?

You know how to whistle, put you lips together and blow

That's what it said

That's what it said

That's what it said

Pledging my love, pledging my love

What if I'm only, If I am only pledging my love?

Pledging my love, pledging my love

What if I'm only, If I am only pledging my love?

[Chorus]

I tried to show you, you didn't want to go?

You know how to whistle, put you lips together and blow

That's what it said

That's what it said

That's what it said

Pledging my love, pledging my love

What if I'm only, If I am only pledging my love?

Pledging my love, pledging my love

What if I'm only, If I am only pledging my love?

[Verse]

Swan, you glide above the thrashing

Release the catches, strain your wings behind your back

Paint his eyes, it will never lick those eyes

Smear the mouth, all across the thready sky
