Swallow

Woke up on a raft in Amsterdam, 

Best of the craft on a canal. 

Mesmerized by the enchanting cities, 

Got to cross many,

Before I reach Germany.

I've been a swallow, 

Since I last saw your shadow.

It's been so hollow. 

Your words did cut me a shallow. 

How could you be so callow? Girl, 

How could you be so callow? 

Remember the place you once 

Called a paradise? 

I call it a latibule now, 

If day light makes me meet people like you, 

I'd want to make friends with the owls and bats. 

And after all this now, 

Scrolling through my voicemails, 

I open the one inviting for the reunion. 

Took my breath off for a second, 

Took me back for a second. 

The last day at school, 

When people were making memories, 

I could see our story erasing,

Those corridors that wrote stories,

were caving in. 

I've migrated miles in days,

It's been for a hundredth time now

That I've taken a diversion in

Sight of your hallucination. 

I've got lured in many times, 

Never felt thirsty any time. 

Girl, you know it when I call myself a swallow. 

I'd never make it alive without my fellow swallows. 

This journey has been so incredible,

Your memories have been so indelible. 

Keep the wait for a while, I'll see ya'

Once I finish off with Australia.
