Same Swallows Swooping

Same swallows swooping

Sooner brings the season

Sooner brings the season

Of well-known white blossom blankets

But these black rock pillows 'gainst sun-kissed cheeks and that naked blue for weeks

Of these hills

On that road we were whistling with our thumbs out

Six lips too jelly to stay stiff

On that road we were whistling with our thumbs out

And I slipped, and I never caught the ride

Oh

I can feel my heart still lingering where I ripped it from my breast

I can feel my heart still lingering in the great grey north sky

One south-seeking swallow

Full of tunes and full of time unbound ahead

One south-seeking swallow

Now settled in these hills

On that road we were shivering with our breath hot

Laugh too loud for the silent hedgerow

On that road I was wondering what the point was

So I never caught the ride

Oh

I can feel my heart still lingering where I ripped it from my breast

I can feel my heart still lingering in the great grey north sky

One south-seeking swallow

Full of tunes and full of time unbound ahead

One south-seeking swallow

Now settled in these hills
