The Queen Of Swans Lyrics - The Light In You - Mercury Rev

Love comes thirsty, lands to drink 

Love, flies up and away from me 

Love comes thirsty, bathes its wing 

Sometimes years go by, it seems 

She flings her shadow down upon the bed 

Only those with wings know whats in my head 

Maps of sunlight on the carpet rest 

Only those with keys know what's in my chest 

Bright red threads of desire, dancing through her eyes Everybody knows her as, the Queen of Swans 

Whispers over water, over land they're sown 

Everything about her isn't really so 

Whispers underground, pere lachaise they grow 

Every inch of sunshine burning out the old ghosts 

Sisters turn to mothers, into daughters they fold 

Farewell flights, out the graves they roll 

Human colored kites through the clouds they flow 

Bigger than their bodies what a way to go 

Love comes thirsty, lands to drink 

Sometimes years go by, it seems
