night of the swallow
The night doesn't like it  Looks just like your face on the moon to me  And I won't let you do  What you want to do  It's funny how, even now, you're laughing.   I won't let you do it!   If you go, I'll let the law know  And they'll head you off when you touch the ground  Ooh, please, don't go through with this  I don't like the sound of it  It's funny how, even now, you're miles away   I won't let you do it  I won't let you do it  I won't let you go through with it!   Meet them over at Dover  I'll just pilot the motor  Take them over the water   With a hired plane  And no names mentioned Tonight's the night of the flight  Before you know  I'll be over the water   Like a swallow  There's no risk  I'll whisk them up in no moonlight  And though pigs can fly  They'll never find us  Posing as the night  And I'm home before the morning   In Malta, catch a swallow  For all of the guilty to set them free  Wings fill the window  And they beat and bleed  They hold the sky on the other side of borderlines   Meet them over at Dover  I'll just pilot the motor  Take them over the water  Like a swallow flying to Malta   With a hired plane  And no names mentioned  Tonight's the night of the flight  Before you know  I'll be over the water  Like a swallow   There's no risk  I'll whisk them up in no moonlight  And though pigs can fly  They'll never find us  Posing as the night  And I'm home before the morning   Give me a break!  Oh, let me try!  Give me something to show  For my miserable life!  Give me something to take!  Would you break even my wings  Just like a swallow?   Let me, let me go  With a hired plane  And no names mentioned  Tonight's the night of the flight  Before you know  I'll be over the water  Like a swallow   ("Let me, let me go!")  There's no risk  I'll whisk them up in no moonlight  And though pigs can fly  They'll never find us  Posing as the night  And I'm home before the morning   ("Let me, let me go!")  With a hired plane  And no names mentioned  Tonight's the night of the flight  Before you know  I'll be over the water  Like a swallow   ("Let me, let me go!")  There's no risk  I'll whisk them up in no moonlight  And though pigs can fly  They'll never find us  Posing as the night  And I'm home before the morning But you're not a swallow!
