Swans

As eyelids begin to close

In the confines of our bed

Something new is taking hold

Something new is being said

I collected pain like stones

And they followed me like dread

Into waters of unknown

But with you I found my breath

I wouldn’t be where I am

If I wasn’t at your hands

But it’s time to go

Oh, it’s be a year of light

But I need to take my flight

And let you go

It’s a final song

It’s a lullaby

As I hold the boy for a final time

It’s a mess I made

But a mess I liked

And if I look back I look back and smile

It’s a singing swan

It’s a battlecry

Every single tear, every single fight

Was a moment had

And a moment shared

If the future’s bright then I’ll see you there

As the summer takes it’s hold

With my body bathed in light

This is where I’m meant to be

I think things will be alright

And the world becomes my own

Fall in love just for the night

I have everything I need

Falling into bedroom eyes

I wouldn’t be where I am

If I wasn’t at your hands

But it’s time to go

It’s our final song

It’s a lullaby

As I hold the boy for a final time

It’s a mess I made

But a mess I liked

And if I look back I look back and smile

It’s a singing swan

It’s a battlecry

Every single tear, every single fight

Was a moment had

And a moment shared

If the future’s bright then I’ll see you there

And the last thing I heard

Was the singing of swans

And our love set free

Every inch of body

Disappearing

Out of my reach

Out of my reach

I wouldn’t be where I am

If I wasn’t at your hands

But it’s time to go

Oh, it’s be a year of light

But I need to take my flight

And let you go
