Lyrics for Wild Swan

Oh has the reaper and the sun I wait to see the darkness sprung I used to think my mind was one But now I feel I'm different I wish I was a wild swan The sky's my world My very own pond The rain will fall and slit my throat The heaven's voices silent I wish I was a wild tree The wind will blow to refreshen me I change my covers and change my leaves But trees look very lonely Looks like I'll just be myself And put my dreams upon the shelf I keep my worries or lose my head It's better than being nothing Looks like I'll just be myself And put my dreams upon the shelf I keep my worries or lose my head It's better than being nothing
