Swanky Swan
Swanky Swan, a village's love story
*
Swanky Swan, mother's pride
Gone girl, gone, it's a migration
Mother can't fly, can't migrate
Hurt, hurt, feelings are hurt
-
Goodbye is too good a word
No fare thee well, no goodbye
Bond broken, misty eyes,
Misty eyes can't smile with the season
-
Love jar is empty, broken,
Door always left ajar, missing
Swanky Swan, Swanky Swan
Is your white coat still clean?
-
Swanky Swan, Swanky Swan
Swanky Swan is back
Season has changed
Mother's love rejuvenated
-
Mother, mother, calls the village
Your daughter is back, Swanky is back
Cold scars, she's missing the warmth
Bring your warmest blanket, bring your smile
