She reaches for the fragile strings
Tugs once- twice
They begin to unravel like a casual fling
One is now two
Her heart beats to the drums of a faery ring
Beats twice then thrice
The final ending plucks at broken things
Three pieces are now four
Her glamorous mask fades while she sings
Washed up parts number five
She clutches to bells that will not ting
The chime signals six has passed
Her hand falls to her bending wings
Feathers gather into sevens
Heavy weights upon her shoulders sin brings
Seven gives way to eight
Forgiveness is the yang to her ying
Dancing nine cackles loud
As the last heavenly clock plays its ding
Ten c
He knows it is out there, just beyond his reach
He can see it calling, waiting for him to teach
For a babys smile is only for today
And freedom is calling, its only a day away
Even in sleep, billowy ships he sails
His dreams is what does us now compel
To stop and wonder at the innocence
Loving light pouring of his magnificent
Tomorrows horizon will hasten at dawn
A new chance to learn what is right and whats wrong
But tonight he is mine, in warm arms to hold
Tonight his heart is mine with comfort to enfold.
Pretty swallow, will you fly?
Spread your wings to reach the sky
Will you soar above this smog?
The lights will lead you from the fog
Pretty swallow, will you sing?
Happiness your melodies bring
Will you entrance with a tune?
When the sun hits high noon
Pretty swallow, will you fight?
As the stars lose their light
Will you leave your city fair?
When the kites fly nowhere
Pretty swallow, will you fall?
You're the hope of us all
Will you keep our dreams on clouds?
If we can't speak them aloud
Pretty swallow, will you fly?
Spread your wings and say goodbye.
