"A Swallow In The Sun" lyrics

"A Swallow In The Sun"

My love, let me bring
Everything your heart desires
Everything you'll ever need
When you rise, hen you retire

Sweet thing, oh my word
Such a very pretty sight
As a swallow in the sun
As a sparrow in the night

My love, can you not feel it
I don't know how to let you go on
A swallow in the sun
A sparrow in the night
All alone

Dear heart, if I may
You are beauty of the earth
You are broken like a glass
You don't know what you are worth

Sweet thing, oh my word
Such a very pretty sight
As a swallow in the sun
As a sparrow in the night
