Swallow Wind - Al Stewart

Look out, look out, Phoenix cried

My time must be at hand

I’m feeling cold and I don’t know why

The ground moves where I stand

All the lies she gave to me

In words that twist and bend

Now the only place for me

Is down in the swallow wind

Far off and long ago

She came when I was young

A silver moon shining in her eyes

And strange the song she sang

All so easy I trusted her

I thought she was my friend

Now the only place for me

Is down in the swallow wind

And I don’t really know what to tell you now

It’s something I just can’t control

I thought you wanted to take my love

Now you want my soul

Last time I saw her

She was standing in the sand

The ashen moon was in her hair

And a cross was in her hand

I’m sailing alone, she cried

Though I can’t believe I sinned

Now the only place for me

Is down in the swallow wind
