I think it was something Richard and Mimi Farina did. It's in a minor key. Starts off like this: "Come wander quietly and listen to the wind"... blah, blah, blah... "And watch the swallows as they fly". Nice song, just don't remember the lyrics. Any takers? |

06 Nov 99 - 04:51 AM (#132523) Subject: ADD: The Swallow Song - Richard Farina From: Joe Offer Good song - I found it in the Rise Up Singing songbook. -Joe Offer- THE SWALLOW SONG (Richard Farina) ©1964, Warner Brothers Come wander quietly and listen to the wind Come here and listen to the sky Come walking high above the rolling of the sea And watch the swallows as they fly. There is no sorrow like the murmur of their wings There is no choir like their song There is no power like the freedom of their flight While the swallows roam alone. Do you hear the calling of a hundred thousand voice Hear the echo in a stone Do you hear the angry bells ringing in the night Do you hear the swallows when they've flown? And will the breezes blow the petals from your hand And will some loving ease your pain And will the silence strike confusion from your soul And will the swallow come again? Em Em7 C B7 / Em - B7 - |
