Lyrics for When The Swallows Fly

I wander lonely as a cloud I keep my head above the crowd Ain't nobody else as big as me But I must remember friends What has to start just has to end Everybody's got a destiny And I know when the swallows flies Yes I know, and the earth just dies Then I'll be told what I am The swallow and me I'll look after number one I'll forget the beggar's son Everybody's got to stay alive I'll keep a-walking amongst the clouds I'll keep my head above the crowd I'll watch them live, I'll watch them die And I know when the swallows flies Yes I know, and the earth just dies Then I'll be told what I am The swallow and me And I know when the swallows flies Yes I know, and the earth just dies Yes I know when the swallow flies Yes I know, and the earth just dies
