Angel Of Death
SWANN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is a sad song
This is an old song
This was our song
You've heard it before

I've been sent here
To dance the last dance
To tell you something
You've never been told...

And you'll find
That life is easy to live
That love is easy to give
But it comes to an end someday...
And don't you mind
That life is easy to take
That love is easy to break
And it comes to an end someday, someday...

Can you feel boy
The end is calling
I'll stop you falling
Cause it's coming too soon

Close your eyes now...
Open your eyes now...
This is a swansong...
So embrace your past.

And you'll find, my love...
That life is easy to live
That love is easy to give
But it comes to an end someday...
And don't you mind
That life is easy to take




That love is easy to break
And it comes to an end someday, someday...

Dear Chloe, discovering your music (by sheer chance) is the most thrilling and moving experience for a long time from now back. I was lucky to have "The wonderful world of Swann" I bought on bandcamp. Though it's so pity that your music's not available on iTunes worldwide, so in Israel i can't get more.

DJ Santz

Simply a beautiful song.
