You see children in the yard again Playing games under your window
You are standing by the window You can't move
You fly back in years Every day your memories catch you
Who is going to sing the swan song?
Your eyes reflect Moments from birth to death
They make some believe in God Others in the Devil or in anything
But they do not believe In this world
You once found The love of the half-century
It was easy to be happy
What do you do with your instincts
When the birds have flown Out of the nest
Old photos are The only things you have
You look at them Over and over again
You might not need my pity It won't numb your pain
That pain is writing this song That pain will catch anyone
That pain will catch anyone
You see your mourning veil You lifted your veil five years ago
The swan song made you cry then It made you cry
You would like to be like you were then
When you wore your white veil
