She's Like The Swallow Lyrics - Jane Siberry

She's like the swallow that flies so high 

She's like the river that never runs dry 

She's like the sunshine on the lee shore 

I love my love and love is no more 

'Twas out in the garden this fair maid did go 

A-pickin' the beautiful, primrose 

The more she plucked, the more she pulled 

Until she got her apron full 

It's out of the roses, she made a bed 

A stony pillow for her head 

She lay her down, no word she spoke 

Until this fair maid's heart was broke 

She's like the swallow that flies so high 

And she's like the river that never runs dry 

She's like the sunshine on the lee shore 

I love my love and love is no more
