Swallows oh swallows taking flight
on the wing
Uneven your path in the pattern you sing
(Darting high Diving low )
Ah my dear sister marries South far away
We walk through the wilds
on this sorrowful day
I gaze 'til her silhouette melts in the haze
But she is gone lost in the maze
My tears fall like rain blurring my sight
A river of sorrow endless and bright
Swallows oh swallows soar high above
Your grace is the shadow of
the sister I love
She’s wed and she’s gone to
the distant lands
I walked with her long holding her hands
(Never tired of the way )
Swallows oh swallows
how you dance in the sky
Your calls rise and fall
like her soft parting sigh
Today she travels to the plains
of the South
With a heavy heart and a silent mouth
Hand in hand we walked
'til the fields turned to gray
I stare in a trance but no trace remains
My heart is broken bound
by these chains
The tears pour down washing the stone
Leaving me here standing alone
My sister so gentle so steady of mind
Diligent and prudent the best of her kind
She thinks of our father
his words held so dear
His parting instructions still ringing clear
(Ringing clear )
Swallows oh swallows flitting in the sky
Darting up and down waving goodbye
