The song is about the transience of everything; it’s about how days and years pass by us, even when we’re not aware. The message is clear: take your chances, before it is too late.
[Verse 1]
And there's a sunset brimming over the sky
And there's a swallow teaching it's young how to fly
Up on high, see how fast the summer passes by
[Verse 2]
And there's an oak leaf turning green into brown
And there's a pine so proud of her evergreen gown
Looking down, see how fast the winter comes around
[Verse 3]
And there's a rain cloud passing over our heads
And there's a cat on the doorstep waiting to be fed
Milk and bread, day is done and now it's time for bed
Swallow Song was written by Vashti Bunyan.
