CHASING SWALLOWS

            

There goes the sunset over the hill                    

We were young we knew it was better still

Than the struggles that come with age

The death and decay 

That never goes away

 

Wild and free 

Full of life we didn’t know what we could be

Dreams they change

The memories they fade

We will never be the same

 

Chorus:

I’ll be that boy chasing swallows in my grandad’s barn

I’ll be that boy chasing swallows in the barn

If heaven ever comes and I hope it does

I’ll be that boy chasing swallows in the bar

 

Well the old man said go and see the world

Don’t get lost chasing diamonds and pearls

All these dreams of a modern age 

Will just make you a slave

Time and time again

 

The journey’s long

If knew back then what I know now

Would I make the same mistakes

Knowing my heart will break

Time and time again

 

Chorus

 

Now I’ve got a son of my own

He’s the most wonderful thing that I’ve ever known

His mother and I 

Couldn’t get along

No matter how hard we tried

 

Life goes on

N’ the sun will set when my days are done

N the dreams that I made 

Will slowly fade

In the passing of a life
