KATE BUSH - Night of The Swallow lyrics
rate me
The night doesn't like it.
Looks just like your face on the moonto me.
And I won't let you do
What you want to do.
It's funny howeven now
You're laughing.
I won't let you do it.
If you goI'll let the law know
And they'll head you off when you touch the ground.
Oohpleasedon't go through with this.
I don't like the sound of it.
It's funny howeven 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
"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 maltacatch 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 borderlines.
"meet them over at dover.
I'll just pilot the motor
Take them over the water
Like a swallow flying to malta
"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.
"give me a break!
Oohlet 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
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.
("let me--let me go!")
"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.
("let me--let me go!")
"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.
("let me--let me go!")
"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--"
But you're not a swallow!
