Lyric Night of the swallow
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
"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 BORDERlines.

"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
With a hired plane,
And no names mentioned.
Tonight s the night of the flight.

I ll be over the water
Like a swallow.
