Variations On A Dead Swan

Morten Abel

These are sites that I haven't seen, 
haven't been to, 
makes me happy in the winter, 
in the winter, frozen over
in the winter, frozen over

A year old swan is left behind, 
by the others, broken wing 
She is wounded, gonna die 
She know she's gonna die
She's gonna die 

The year old swan isn't scared of me, 
I sit beside her, she's looking at me 
Miss her mother, miss the others, 
rests her head in my lap, 
Isn't God heard 
Rests her head in my lap

Around Christmas time 
One great swan is going down 
On the frozen lake 
God it's quiet, make a sound!

Then she closed her eyes 
For the last time, goodbye 
Lost you to it 
Spirit rests in the great sky

And then the day awakes 
Behind the mountain it breaks 
Wake up everyone! 
Look what I found; a dead swan 

God it's quiet here 
Would like an aeroplane to fly by 
Tempted to scream 
Spirit lives in the great sky

Spirit lives
Spirit lives in 
Spirit lives in
Spirit lives in the great sky
