Swans (Life After Death)

[Intro] 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 [Chorus] (x3) Rivers leak Salt seeps in Heals wounds Winds pry apart Swans, swans, swans sung songs 'til the morning dawned on us And the sun-smudged peach moon still hung loose Bones, bones, bones grown homes With 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
