The Swan

(Album: Remedy - 2021)

The house curtains rise, we were standing there
Two little girls, flowers in our hair
We knew what we'd find, we were mesmerized
Then the curtain fell and we realized

Oh-oh-oh, another fight for the waking life
Did you lose your way, was it a sacrifice?
It's impossible to understand
What tore your fingers back from your clenched up fist
You closed your eyes with confidence
It's impossible to understand

I think of the dance, the dying swan
Why they added it to the story line
Her movements, her grace, they were beautiful
In her wilting arms lay her power

Oh-oh-oh, another fight for the waking life
Did you lose your way, was it a sacrifice?
It's impossible to understand
What tore your fingers back from your clenched up fist
You closed your eyes with confidence
It's impossible to understand

And, oh, we'd met a lifetime ago
I'll see you somewhere I don't know
Yeah, you could do anything
But you have something to lose
To lose

Oh-oh-oh, another fight for the waking life
Did you lose your way, was it a sacrifice?
It's impossible to understand
What tore your fingers back from your clenched up fist
You closed your eyes with confidence
It's impossible to understand
