Swan Song

Those evenings spent on the inlet bay
When seven swans would sail my way

I'd walk on the deck with bags of bread
They seemed to know they would be fed

From the other side of the inlet they'd come
And they'd devour every last crumb

So beautiful and graceful too
And I had such a perfect view

I called them the girls and they knew me
I often wondered how they could see

So far across that watery space
It's almost like they knew my face

I'd call to them across the way
And they would listen to what I'd say

Come drifting over to my back door
Like they had many times before

I'd tell them all my troubles and then
They'd eat and sail away again

I do miss seeing those gorgeous creatures
With ivory feathers and lovely features

It was so peaceful there on the bay
When the beautiful swans would swim my way
