I've produced it just lately and I'm quite pleased with it

Still the lyrics are from a very much younger me
I miss the vitality I had but not the immaturity. Ah well, a song I still value.

the Swallow Song

I’m not too sure will I make it
confusing the day with the night
my visions are sure they are naked
and see-through held up to the light
I’ve been thinking it out since that thief shut my mouth
with the words that he took to be true
he made off so fast, couldn’t stop so he crashed
but too late I was wearing his shoes

I had to call up the doctor
I knew we would not have met by chance
he said he was rather quite busy
and really tied up in his pants
I’m a casual liar with a hypocrite smile
and I can’t get up from the ground
he said take some of these, get up on your knees
keep your loyalty profound

lit up to take another hit
the swallow song had just begun
threw away my senses so quick
now I’d trade my eyelids for some
couldn’t hear the clock, no ticking no tock
a timeless spell in the park
in the hours I had not I was happy as I walked
knowing shadows were not cast in the dark

‘twas there I found Susanna the dancer
she opened the door well it was her place
could see her wondering what’s he after
is it a funny look or just his face?
foot in the door wasn’t trying to sell, couldn’t stand still
on no other shelf
her creamy thighs opened without a noise spoken
that is all that I’m wanting to tell

It's either this or that, then again it might be the other. 

I can promise you a future of slow decline.

Don't eat the yellow snow

And there you have it.
