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.
