  Night of the Swallow

The night doesn't like it

Looks just like your face

On the moon, to me

And I won't let you do

What you want to do

It's funny how, even now

You're laughing

I won't let you do it



If you go, I'll let the law know

And they'll head you off when you touch the ground

Ooh please,

Don't go through with this

I don't like the sound of it

It's funny how, even now

You're miles away

I won't let you do it

I won't let you do it

I won't let you go through with it



Meet them over at Dover

I'll just pilot the motor

Take them over the water



CHORUS:

          With a hired plane

          And no names mentioned

          Tonight's the night of the flight

          Before you know

          I'll be over the water like a swallow

          There's no risk

          I'll whisk them up

          In no moonlight

          And though pigs can fly

          They'll never find us

          Posing as the night

          And I'm home before the morning



In Malta, catch a swallow

For all of the guilty to set them free

Wings fill the window

And they beat and bleed

They hold the sky

On the other side

Of border lines

I won't let you do it

I won't let you do it

I won't let you go through with it



Meet them over at Dover

I'll just pilot the motor

Take them over the water

Like a swallow flying to Malta



CHORUS



Give me a break

Ooh let me try

Give me something to show

For my miserable life

Give me something to take

Would you break even my wings

Just like a swallow

Let me, let me go



But you're not a swallow
