Now there is a coincidence :) Work in progress. May give it some harsh editing yet

SWIFT SONG

Spring arrives. Heart awaiting.
Returning swifts share joyful song.
Meeting again sharing lives together
Love again throughout the summer long

Thousand of miles flown over sea and water
Flown so far and flown so free
Paired for life since first they met
Come all that way to stay with you and me

(Chorus)
Wherever I may be whatever I may do
Like our swifts my home is always here with you
Whatever life may bring one thing's forever true
My heart will always be wherever you are too

Summer skies. Life is busier now.
New mouths to feed, new lives need care
Skies still ring with joy and laughter
Hours are full with everything to share

(Chorus)

Autumn now and days are getting shorter
Young have left on strengthening wings
Songs are fewer skies becoming empty
No certainty of what the future brings

(Bridge)
And as the seasons change and the swifts go on their way
Like them our kids have flown to find new lives somewhere
However free as birds you are to fly on separate paths
Freedom's a choice you make to choose the life you share

Winter here. In some other world
On tireless wings our swifts fly on
Perhaps next year to return once more
Return again to share their lives and song

(Chorus)
