Текст песни с аккордами
Вступление
[Verse]
C D
The red sun is sinking and the sky is on fire.
C D
Swallows line up on the telegraph wire.
C D
I think they’ve decided it’s time to be gone.
C
For the days are now shrinking,
D G A
The summer’s moved on.
[Chorus]
D G A
Swallow, swallow I wish I could follow you,
D A C A
over the deserts, the mountains, the seas.
Am G D
South to the colours and sunshine of Africa.
D
Flying high, flying free.
[Verse]
C D
Swallow I don’t understand how you know
C D
how far you will fly to and which way you will go.
C D
Resting at night time and flying by day,
C D
with no map or compass to show you the way.
C D
And I wish you could stay here the whole winter through,
C D
just as the robins and chaffinches do.
C D
But I know that you can’t for when frost grips the year,
C D
the insects you feed on will all disappear.
[Chorus]
D G A
Swallow, swallow I wish I could follow you,
D A C A
over the deserts, the mountains, the seas.
Am G D
South to the colours and sunshine of Africa.
D
Flying high, flying free.
[Verse]
C D
Butterfly, dragonfly, salmon and seal,
C D
whale and reindeer, cuckoo and eel,
C D
each of them doing the migration dance
C D
and I’d do it too if they’d give me the chance.
C D
Clock in the kitchen and clock in the hall,
C D
clock on the mantle piece and clock on the wall,
C D
tocking and ticking me off when I’m late,
C D
but no clock to tell me it’s time to migrate.
[Chorus]
D G A
Swallow, swallow I wish I could follow you,
D A C A
over the deserts, the mountains, the seas.
Am G D
South to the colours and sunshine of Africa.
D
Flying high, flying free.
[Verse]
C D
And I’ll miss your forked tails as you swoop through the air.
C D
Your nests will be empty that you built with such care.
C D
But I know you’ll return as you have done before
C D
and your nests will be filled with your young ones once more.
C D
So when winter departs with his mantle of snow
C D
and the plum tree’s in blossom and the days start to grow.
C D
When the summer sun rises and the sky is on fire.
C D
I will see you again on that telegraph wire.
[Chorus]
D G A
Swallow, swallow I wish I could follow you,
D A C A
over the deserts, the mountains, the seas.
Am G D
South to the colours and sunshine of Africa.
D
Flying high, flying free.
