Black Swans On The Water (original version).

Walking through the park as evening grows dark catching bugs in the air around our hair.Straying from the path down onto the grass all the stars in the sky know we are there.When the moon’s in its last quarter and the black swans are out on the water then it all looks too good to turn away. When I feel your hand in my hand then I know this night’s in our hands and I hope everything can stay this way.Walking through the trees with the evening breeze blowing in from the sea so cool and free straying from the path down onto the grass all the birds sing goodnight to you and me.Oh when the moon’s in its last quarter and the black swans are out on the water then it all looks too good to turn away. When I feel your hand in my hand then I know this night’s in our hands and I hope everything can stay this way.

 

In Your Company.

As the sun went down on my seaside town you let your hair down just for me. Out of breath from climbing all those steps whatever happens next I’ll take it gladly. ‘Cause I am in your company. I’m hearing you breathing next to me that has to be enough for me. If you stumble and fall it won’t matter at all. If you stumble and fall it won’t matter at all. We reach the top I have to stop before my heart goes pop all over you. Out of breath from climbing all those steps whatever comes next I know what to do. ‘Cause I am in your company I’m hearing you breathing next to me. That has to be enough for me and if I stumble and fall it won’t matter at all. If I stumble and fall it won’t matter at all. I am in your company I’m hearing you breathing next to me that has to be enough for me. If we stumble and fall it won’t matter at all. If we stumble and fall it won’t matter at all. If we stumble and fall it won’t matter at all. If we stumble and fall it won’t matter at all.

 

Blame On Me.

In the sun everything felt like fun but once the swallow had flown everything came undone. Oh you fell in love but it burnt your fingers yeah you fell in love but it left a bad taste in your mouth. Blame on me blame on me you could have been so happy and carefree so put the blame on me. Blame on me blame on me you could have been so happy and carefree so put the blame on me the blame on me. In the sun everything seemed to run but once the night had come everything came undone. Oh you fell in love but it burnt your fingers yeah you fell in love but it turned its back on you. Blame on me blame on me you should have been so happy and carefree so put the blame on me. Blame on me blame on me you should have been so happy and carefree so put the blame on me. Blame on me blame on me you should have been so happy and carefree so put the blame on me. Blame on me blame on me you should have been so happy and carefree so put the blame on me the blame on me.

 

Isn’t It A Pity We Have To Go Back To The City.

It’s so quiet here just the dog’s bark and the skylark. It’s so peaceful here just the buzzing bees and the swaying trees. Where the swallows nest and the horses rest under these old wooden beams here life’s much simpler than it seems and it becomes the stuff of dreams. It’s so pretty here with the fields of corn and the uncut lawn. It’s so lazy here the unmade bed and the sleepy head. Where the swallows nest and the horses rest under these old wooden beams here life’s much simpler than it seems and it becomes the stuff of dreams. Where the swallows nest and the horses rest under these old wooden beams here life’s much simpler than it seems and it becomes the stuff of dreams. Oh isn’t it a pity we have to go back to the city tails between our legs and mud on our shoes. Yeah isn’t it a pity we have to go back to the city tails between our legs and mud on our shoes. Tails between our legs and mud on our shoes. Tails between our legs and mud on our shoes.

 

Don’t Leave It Too Long.

When you come you’ll be a most welcome guest a weight off the shoulders a load off the chest. When you come you’ll be a breath of fresh air that blows out the candle and blows through my hair. So don’t leave it too long to begin your journey don’t leave it too long to sing me your song soon the light will be fading and the moment will be gone so don’t leave it too long. When you come you’ll be a sight for sore eyes the bearer of glad tidings and such a surprise. Yeah when you come you’ll pull up a chair throw crumbs to the birds and run your hands through my hair. So don’t leave it too long to begin your journey don’t leave it too long to sing me your song soon the light will be fading the moment will be gone so don’t leave it too long. No don’t leave it too long to begin your journey don’t leave it too long to sing me your song soon the light will be fading and the moment will be gone so don’t leave it too long. Don’t leave it too long to begin your journey don’t leave it too long to sing me your song soon the light will be fading and the moment will be gone so don’t leave it too long. No don’t leave it too long to begin your journey don’t leave it too long to sing me your song soon the light will be fading the moment will be gone so don’t leave it too long. Soon the light will be fading the moment will be gone so don’t you leave it too long. (Don’t leave it too long to begin your journey don’t leave it too long to sing me your song soon the light will be fading and the moment will be gone so don’t leave it too long).
