Two island swans They mated for life And his faithful heart Would not consider any other wife With three years of peaceful joy With the rushes of the pond Proud and gentle was the love Of the last two island swans. There love was like a circle With no beginning and no end With his lady by his side A treasure and best friend And the pond was oh so peaceful And the rising of the sun Young and free as theisland breeze Their lives had just begun Till a dark day in November With the seering cold that starts Stalked the hunter with his bow And put an arrow through her heart (Chorus) And the cold wind blow He was brave but he lay low By her body in the isle of mist I saw her give him one last cold kiss One last cold kiss Now swans like people Talk of only one in this fair side Though they brought him 20 ladies He would take no other bride And they say he will not move From the place where she did fall Once so proud he's beaten now And he will not rise at all (Chorus)
