Night Of The Swallow Lyrics

Kate Bush 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

With a hired plane and with 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
Though pigs can fly they'll never find me posing
As the night, I'm home before the morning

In Malta, catch a swallow
For all of the guilty to let them free
Wings fill the window and they beat and bleed
They hold the sky on the other side of borderlines

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

With a hired plane and with 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
Though pigs can fly, they'll never find me posing
As the night, I'm home before the morning

Give me a break, ooh let them fly
Give me something to show for my miserable life
Something to take, would you break even my wings
Like a swallow

(Let me, let me go)
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
Though pigs can fly, they'll never find me posing
As the night, I'm home before the morning

(Let me, let me go)
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
(Let me, let me go)

There's no risk, I'll whisk them up in no moonlight
Though pigs can fly, they'll never find me posing as the night
And I'm home before the morning
(Let me, let me go)
