Golden Swansdown - The Night Flight Orchestra

I never meant for this to happen

Ain’t it strange how worlds collide

But I knew that very moment

She was something I never would survive

Forces of nature that can’t be denied

I had watched her from a distance

Starry eyes and silver hands

Never thoughts she’d ever notice

Guess I’m blaming magic and circumstance

I’ll just surrender and leave it to chance

Covered in golden swansdown

Gently, she stole my heart

Covered in golden swansdown

She knew I was losing right from the start

I never meant for this to happen

But I dreamt from time to time

That I’d find a way to see her

Just so I could leave all those dreams behind

Duly accepting she’d never be mine

Covered in golden swansdown

Gently, she stole my heart

Covered in golden swansdown

She knew I was losing right from the start

There’s a light still radiating out of her

Although she is sweetly unaware

As I know I’ll never find the proper words

I’ll embrace the silence that we share

Covered in golden swansdown

Gently, she stole my heart

Covered in golden swansdown

She knew I was losing right from the start
