Swans Life After Death

Swans

Swans

Swans sing songs

All night long

Who knew how warm the islands were

While the frogs look on

It's what the birds prefer

And it's still warm after the sun has gone

I woke up thirsty the day I died

And the tide was swirling

My mouth is so dry

And all I see is sea to shining seas

Swans

Swans

Swans sing songs

All night long

Who knew how warm the islands would be

And who knew just how much

The sky covers me

It makes you forget what it means to be free

I climbed into the blowhole

In the ribs I found you

With a wick we lit a flame

Now look at the smoke that it blew

The mouth is so wide

Yet all I see is sea

And azure sky

A little wave and ebb tide

Rivers leak

Salt seeps in

Heals wounds

Winds pry apart

Rivers leak

Salt seeps in

Heals wounds

Winds pry apart

Rivers leak

Salt seeps in

Heals wounds

Winds pry apart

Swans

Swans

Swans sung songs

Till the morning dawned on us

And the sun-smudged peach moon still hung loose

Bones

Bones

Bones

Groan

The sparrows in the trees we leave them for

They love the marrow

I’m thankful for my life

I’m thankful for my life
