about

Like all the tracks on the River Red EP, this version of Little Swallow captures the live nature of acoustic butterfly. some cool guitar licks from Juan Carlos III throughout.

lyrics

Tell me how you know it grows my dipping deep, all it shows
Beside your sweet bitter bows, all you light and shadow glows
Inside its you, let it loose, pass on by, hang the truth
Next when I'm alone with you I'll turn my heart adhere to you

Oh Little swallow sitting on my window
Takin' time to know which way the wind blows
Tell me tell me what must i do
Little swallow sitting on my window
Takin' time to listen to the rail fall
What must i do,
Oh tell me tell me what must i do

You walk to me so honestly, with all your smiles cautiously
Asked me then if now was right, turn it all around tonight
And if i said i only would, burn my thrown of silver wood
You'd cast your eye to all who see, show them how to make believe

Little swallow sitting on my window
Takin' time to know which way the wind blows
Tell me tell me what must i do
Little swallow sitting on my window
Takin' time to listen to the rail fall
What must i do,
Oh tell me tell me what must i do

Shadows block the light beneath your sisters silver door
You've seen the world from inside out, lyin' on the floor
With your mother's hands, bruised from working 9 to sixty-four
Your heart reflects on a piece of glass
Another night before

Oh Little swallow sitting on my window
Takin' time to know which way the wind blows
Tell me tell me what must i do
Little swallow sitting on my window
Takin' time to listen to the rail fall
What must i do,
Oh tell me tell me tell me what must I
Tell me tell tell me what must I
Tell me tell me tell me what must i do
