Swallows

As the end of day came limping by
And the wind was blurting out my thoughts
The man approached my shelter
And indeed I felt disrobed
And indeed I felt disrobed

- Hometowners see far-away mountains
better than strangers, don't they? - said he
By then my sight painted the borders
of the horizons
And indeed we felt trapped
And indeed I felt trapped

As doves fly to freedom
Swallows fly home
As doves fly to freedom
Swallows fly home

When all the pages
of the books in my shelves
Have yellowed, yellowed
It'll be time, it'll be time
To burn this shack, to burn this shack

- Damn boy, you're far too intense.
Abandon's a shortcut, you don't have to
show off your courage to yourself
And indeed I felt disrobed
And indeed I felt disrobed

As doves fly to freedom
Swallows fly home
As doves fly to freedom
Swallows fly home

- Like a tree, I will grow till I die
But this concrete is constraining my roots

To burn this shack, to burn this shack
To burn this shack, to burn this shack
