Night Of The Swallow Lyrics

The night doesn't like it

 Looks just like your face

 On the moon, to me

 And I won't let you do

 What you want to do

 It's funny how, even now

 You're laughing

 I won't let you do it

 

 If you go, I'll let the law know

 And they'll head you off when you touch the ground

 Ooh please,

 Don't go through with this

 I don't like the sound of it

 It's funny how, even now

 You're miles away

 I won't let you do it

 I won't let you do it

 I won't let you go through with it

 

 Meet them over at Dover

 I'll just pilot the motor

 Take them over the water

 

 CHORUS: With a hired plane

         And no names mentioned

         Tonight's the night of the flight

         Before you know

         I'll be over the water like a swallow

         There's no risk

         I'll whisk them up

         In no moonlight

         And though pigs can fly

         They'll never find us

         Posing as the night

         And I'm home before the morning

 

 In Malta, catch a swallow

 For all of the guilty to set them free

 Wings fill the window

 And they beat and bleed

 They hold the sky

 On the other side

 Of border lines

 I won't let you do it

 I won't let you do it

 I won't let you go through with it

 

 Meet them over at Dover

 I'll just pilot the motor

 Take them over the water

 Like a swallow flying to Malta

 

 CHORUS

 

 Give me a break

 Ooh let me try

 Give me something to show

 For my miserable life

 Give me something to take

 Would you break even my wings

 Just like a swallow

 Let me, let me go

 

 But you're not a swallow
