  • 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
