The swallow

I'm waiting for the swallow
He's turning to me
I take him to my prison
I'm keeping the key

But in his prison he's lonely singing
his sweetest song to me
I listen to him singing
He belongs to me

Lonely so lonely
dying slowly
He's trying to sing
I'm trying to see

The days went by and I forgot him inside
I lost the key
without seeds he's reaching out for me
And starving to death
waiting for the end

Lonely so lonely
dying slowly
He's trying to sing
I'm trying to see

If I release the swallow
I'm learning to see
And in the wind tomorrow
he's turning free

"Lonely not lonely
flying only"
He's crying to me
I'm finding the key
