THE SWAN by Camille Saint Saens with song lyrics by Joel Sattler
solo as white as the snow
the swan
floats
all alone across the empty pond
all of her cygnets have come
and gone
and
now only she is left to linger on
there was a day when they all
would play
now all her children have flown
away
into the dawn
singing their
songs
echoes have all
all faded
way
solo as white as the snow
she sails
mist settles over her just like a veil
and
she has no strength left
to stretch out her wings and to fly
she lifts her
head
and says good
bye
