The Shores Of Swilly
By the shores of the swilley
two children at play
The king of the castle
The queen of the may
Just me and my sister
In a world of pretend
where the sun keeps on shining and the world never ends.
By the shores of the swilley
now with kids of our own
another year older and see how they've grown
Then we watch the last sunset and
walk arm in arm
til I see you next summer
God keep you from harm
and I was a flyer
who crashed now and then
she would put me together
and fly me again
and I was a flyer
who crashed now and then
she would put me together
and fly me again
By the shores of the swilley
with an aching inside
I watched as her body
was raised from the tide
Her life has been taken
and I'll never know why
But I feel in that moment
a part of me died.
