Bilingual
You never fail, my swallowtail
Sitting so sweet in the palm of my hand
To make me feel safe, and fill me with grace
Wings as pale as the sun on the sand
Merry and bright, my cabbage white
Freshly steamed milk of the moonlight
For you are the morning, the noon, and the night
ย
Leaving so soon, my holly blue?
Gently you flew to the ends of the day
Fleeting time, passing through, as cold evening dew
A mellow reminder of your once warm breath of rain
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (la-di-da, la-di-da, la-di-da)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (la-di-da, la-di-da)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (la-di-da, la-di-da, la-di-da)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (la-di-da, la-di-da)
Snail shell swirl, mother-of-pearl
Locked like a curl 'round my finger so tight
Though I love you so, you're losing your glow
Why do you have to let go?
But we'll never be, so I'll set you free
Up to the clouds, so high
For you are the Earth, and the sea, and the sky
ย
And you were more beautiful when you could fly
