about

I would like to fly with swallow's wings. I started ths lyric high on a hill at Moniack Mhor where swallows flit and soar. The title is inspired by a
line in Shakespeare's Richard III, "True hope is swift, and flies with swallows wings"

lyrics

Hope flies with swallow's wings
Leaves behind unnecessary things
Lifts your heart until it sings
Hope flies with swallow's wings

Hope flies with swallow's wings
With the wonder imagination brings
There is a place where heaven begins
Hope flies with swallow's wings

With no time to make time
The days just pass me by
With no time to make time
I get left behind

Hope flies with swallow's wings
Even in those February winds
Til the winter melts into spring
Hope flies with swallow's wings

Hope flies with swallow's wings
