Sheila Kaufman songs
Tom sent me this haunting melody and asked if I heard anything in it. This was the result. I hope you like it :)

Swallows
music by Tom Wilson
lyrics by Sheila Kaufman
Standing there so quiet,
You scan the sky through the open kitchen door.
Then I know you're going,
Know you're going,
Know You're going again
Your backpack heavy,
Your guitar waiting ready at your feet,
I know from your glances,
From your silence,
From the look in your eyes.
You'll be holding me tightly
Kissing me lightly
Turning away
Saying goodbye
As the swallows fill the sky
Purple lilacs blooming,
Their perfume gently filling the air.
With Spring you'll be coming.
You'll be coming
You will walk through my door.
You'll be holding me tightly
Kissing me lightly
Saying you'll stay
Saying you won't fly
As the swallows fill the sky
Till the swallows fill the sky.
