Sad Swan

The mist is rising on the water
The early morning birds sing
There's gold, red, and orange
Falling down upon your wings

You built your nest too soon
It swept away when the high waters came
You got so much living to do
The waters, they wax and they wane

Sad, sad swan
You take all the love you can get
You're going the wrong way of the river
You haven't grown your white feathers yet

You're sitting there crying
But I can't wipe your tears away
And God knows we're trying
Just to get on through the day

Sad, sad swan
You take all the love you can get
You're going the wrong way of the river
You haven't grown your white feathers yet
You haven't grown your white feathers yet

Sad, sad swan
You take all the love you can get
You're going the wrong way of the river
You haven't grown your white feathers yet
You haven't grown your white feathers yet
