 Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer

Soft, this evening as I lay listening to my child breathing
Slow and shallow in the darkness of her sleep.
In oceans that open between each breath, I find myself sinking
The whole world halts in the cold of the moment, the water so deep

Swallow, swallow
Each time that you leave comes the cold and the sorrow
Oh for sorrow, Swallow
Fly back to me and the summer shall follow

Grieving beckons, colours flee, the sun is un-dawning
Dear life suspended in a moment's failing light
Saved when you swooped down towards us, your streamers a-flowing
Drawing the morning with swooping and sewing Swallow flight

Swallow, swallow
Each time that you leave comes the cold and the sorrow
Oh for sorrow, Swallow
Fly back to me and the summer shall follow

And in a single stroke, the sun renews its turning
The trees all bloom and the birds reclaim their song
The month turns to May and bright shines the day, the stars are still burning
And softly she breathes in the air of the evening, and life rushes in

Swallow, swallow
Each time that you leave comes the cold and the sorrow
Oh for sorrow, Swallow
Fly back to me and the summer shall follow
