Swans (life After Death) Lyrics - Islands

Swans 

Swans 

Swans sing songs 

All night long 

Who knew how warm the islands were 

While the frogs look on 

It's what the birds prefer 

And it's still warm after the sun has gone 

I woke up thirsty the day I died 

And the tide was swirling 

My mouth is so dry 

And all I see is sea to shining seas 

Swans 

Swans 

Swans sing songs 

All night long 

Who knew how warm the islands would be 

And who knew just how much 

The sky covers me 

It makes you forget what it means to be free 

I climbed into the blowhole 

In the ribs I found you 

With a wick we lit a flame 

Now look at the smoke that it blew 

The mouth is so wide 

Yet all I see is sea 

And azure sky 

A little wave and ebb tide 

Rivers leak 

Salt seeps in 

Heals wounds 

Winds pry apart 

Rivers leak 

Salt seeps in 

Heals wounds 

Winds pry apart 

Rivers leak 

Salt seeps in 

Heals wounds 

Winds pry apart 

Swans 

Swans 

Swans sung songs 

'Til the morning dawned on us 

And the sun-smudged peach moon still hung loose 

Bones 

Bones 

Bones 

Groan 

The sparrows in the trees we leave them for 

They love the marrow 

I'm thankful for my life 

I'm thankful for my life
