By the shores of the Swilly, 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 would keep shining, the day never end

By the shores of the Swilly, now with kids of our own 
Another year over, and see how they've grown 
Then we'd watch the last sunset, and walk arm in arm 
Till I see you next summer; God keep you from harm 
And if I was a flier who crashed now and then, 
She would put me together and fly me again.

[ Piano ]

And if I was a flier who crashed now and then, 
She would put me together and fly me again. 
By the shores of the Swilly, with an aching inside 
I'll watch as her body is 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...
