Song Lyrics

The night doesn`t like it.
Looks just like your face on the moon, to me.
And I won`t let you do
What you want to do.

It`s funny how, even now,
You`re laughing.

I won`t let you do it.

If you go, I`ll let the law know,
And they`ll head you off when you touch the ground.
Ooh, please, don`t go through with this.
I don`t like the sound of it.

It`s funny how, even now,
You`re miles away.

I won`t let you do it.
I won`t let you do it.
I won`t let you go through with it.

"Meet them over at Dover.
I`ll just pilot the motor,
Take them over the water

"With a hired plane,
And no names mentioned.
Tonight`s the night of the flight.
Before you know,
I`ll be over the water

"Like a swallow.
There`s no risk.
I`ll whisk them up in the moonlight.
And though pigs can fly,
They`ll never find me
Posing as the night,
And I`m home before the morning."

In Malta, catch a swallow,
For all of the guilty--to set them free.
Wings fill the window,
And they beat and bleed.

They hold the sky on the other side
Of BORDERlines.

"Meet them over at Dover.
I`ll just pilot the motor,
Take them over the water,
Like a swallow flying to Malta,

"With a hired plane,
And no names mentioned.
Tonight`s the night of the flight.
Before you know,
I`ll be over the water
Like a swallow.

"There`s no risk.
I`ll whisk them up in the moonlight.
And though pigs can fly,
They`ll never find me
Posing as the night,
And I`m home before the morning.

"Give me a break!
Ooh, let me try!
Give me something to show
For my miserable life!
Give me something to take!
Would you break even my wings,
Just like a swallow?

"Let me--let me go
With a hired plane,
And no names mentioned.
Tonight`s the night of the flight.
Before you know,
I`ll be over the water
Like a swallow.

("Let me--let me go!")
"There`s no risk.
I`ll whisk them up in the moonlight.
And though pigs can fly,
They`ll never find me
Posing as the night,
And I`m home before the morning.

("Let me--let me go!")
"With a hired plane,
And no names mentioned.
Tonight`s the night of the flight.
Before you know,
I`ll be over the water
Like a swallow.

("Let me--let me go!")
"There`s no risk.
I`ll whisk them up in the moonlight.
And though pigs can fly,
They`ll never find me
Posing as the night,
And I`m home before the morning--"

But you`re not a swallow!
