You're so far away
Why couldn't you stay
'Cause I need you now
But I hold on to you
'Cause I feel that it's true
Do you feel it too
Tell me baby tell me why

Chorus:
I wish I were a swallow
Then I'd fly to you
I wish I were a swallow
Then I'd be with you

I'd watch you all day
And at night when you pray
I'd pray with you
And in the morning
You'd wake
As I'd sing you a tune
Then you'd see me too
Oh I'm only dreaming, why

Chorus:
I wish I were a swallow
Then I'd fly to you
I wish I were a swallow
Then I'd be with you
I'm your dream
Don't be shy
Spread your wings
Then you'll fly

But I'll wait for the day
When you come back to stay
'Cause I need you babe
See me crying, why

Chorus 2x:
I wish I were a swallow
Then I'd fly to you
I wish I were a swallow
Then I'd be with you
