Night of the swallow lyrics

Artist  : Kate bush 
Song : 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 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. 
And though pigs can fly, 
They`ll never find us 
Posing as the night, 
And I`m home before the morning." 

In Malta, catch a swallow, 
For all of the guilty--to set them free. 
Wings fill the window, 
And they beat and bleed. 

They hold the sky on the other side 
Of BORDERlines. 

"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 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. 
And though pigs can fly, 
They`ll never find us 
Posing as the night, 
And I`m home before the morning. 

"Give me a break! 
Ooh, let me try! 
Give me something to show 
For my miserable life! 
Give me something to take! 
Would you break even my wings, 
Just 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. 

("Let me--let me go!") 
"There`s no risk. 
I`ll whisk them up in no moonlight. 
And though pigs can fly, 
They`ll never find us 
Posing as the night, 
And 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. 
And though pigs can fly, 
They`ll never find us 
Posing as the night, 
And I`m home before the morning--" 

But you`re not a swallow!
