lyrics

SWANS ON THE RIVER

There were swans on the river
Like ships made of paper
There were skies of blue
There were bells always ringing
There were birds always singing
In the morning dew
All the summer through
Now just clocks in the towers
Chiming long lonely hours
As if they knew
They toll for me and you!
They toll for me and you!

Oh time, time
And the rain it slides like tears down my window pane
Oh sweet Elaine
If the things they say are true
l’ll never see you again

Don’t want to know it
If I’m going to have to leave it
It isn’t right
Oh I’m building castles made of sand
By the shore and I don’t
Need the tide
It took me by surprise
Now Elaine’s not declining
She’s a star, she is shining
Very bright
I call it sweet delight!
I call it sweet delight!

Oh time time…
