Swallows
A swallow flew by me one day
Oh little swallow wouldn’t you stay?
Spring is coming, the air is sweet
Come stay with me, I will give you a treat
The little swallow flew back and forth
Nibbled some flowers and said deep in thought
Let’s build a nest to keep out the rain
We will be all warm, it won’t be in vain
My little swallow how much we enjoyed
Flying in sunshine, exploring the clouds
You flew further and further showing the way
My little swallow why couldn’t you stay?
