it’s really neat :]
[Verse 1]
You never fail, my swallowtail
Sitting so sweet in the palm of my hand
To make me feel safe, and fill with me with grace
Wings as pale as the sun on the sand
[Verse 2]
Merry and bright, my cabbage white
Freshly steamed milk of the moonlight
For you are the morning, the noon and the night
[Verse 3]
Leaving so soon, my holly blue?
Gently you flew to the ends of the day
Fleeting time passing through, as cold evening dew
A mellow reminder of your once warm breath of rain
[Break]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (la-di-da, la-di-da, la-di-da)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (la-di-da, la-di-da)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (la-di-da, la-di-da, la-di-da)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (la-di-da, la-di-da)
[Verse 4]
Snail shell swirl, mother of pearl
Locked like a curl 'round my finger so tight
Though I love you so, you're losing your glow
Why do you have to let go?
[Verse 5]
But we'll never be, so I'll set you free
Up to the clouds so high
For you are the earth, and the sea and the sky
[Outro]
And you were more beautiful when you could fly

this song was a labour of love and really means a lot to me, it was my first experience of getting a song i wrote for myself properly recorded in a studio and it has been such a wonderful process, from the initial writing to the demo to the final version, im so proud of what we were able to create.
