The Shores of the Swilly |
| [00:41.17] |
By the shores of the Swilly, |
| [00:45.79] |
two children at play |
| [00:50.20] |
The king of the castle, |
| [00:54.23] |
the queen of the may |
| [00:59.39] |
Just me and my sister, |
| [01:03.64] |
in a world of pretend |
| [01:07.75] |
Where the sun would keep shining, |
| [01:12.19] |
the day never end |
| [01:22.66] |
By the shores of the Swilly, |
| [01:27.06] |
now with kids of our own |
| [01:31.45] |
Another year over, |
| [01:35.57] |
and see how they've grown |
| [01:40.81] |
Then we'd watch the last sunset, |
| [01:45.60] |
and walk arm in arm |
| [01:49.43] |
Till I see you next summer; |
| [01:53.34] |
God keep you from harm |
| [01:59.68] |
And if I was a flier |
| [02:04.23] |
who crashed now and then, |
| [02:08.53] |
she would put me together |
| [02:12.87] |
and fly me again. |
| [02:23.07] |
|
| [02:56.81] |
And if I was a flier |
| [03:00.73] |
who crashed now and then, |
| [03:04.96] |
she would put me together |
| [03:09.20] |
and fly me again. |
| [03:15.40] |
By the shores of the Swilly, |
| [03:20.69] |
with an aching inside |
| [03:25.40] |
I'll watch as her body |
| [03:29.79] |
is raised from the tide... |
| [03:37.03] |
Her life has been taken, |
| [03:41.66] |
and I'll never know why |
| [03:49.06] |
but I feel in that moment, |
| [03:54.87] |
a part of me died... |
