The Avett Brothers
Swept Away
[LITTLE BROTHER]
Well, you send my life a-whirling
Darling, when you're twirling
On the floor
And who cares about tomorrow?
What more is tomorrow
Than another day?

When you swept me away
Yeah you swept me away

[MATE, spoken]
What was her name again?

[LITTLE BROTHER, spoken]
What? Oh. Melody Anne. My beautiful Melody Anne

[MATE, spoken]
Hard not to think of the gals left in port

[LITTLE BROTHER, spoken]
She was my only. See it's hard where I come from. The land's hard, the people are hard. Sometimes it seemed like Melody Anne was the only soft thing in the county

[LITTLE BROTHER]
Life is еver-changing, but I will always find a constant and comfort in your love
With your heart, my soul is bound
And as wе dance I know that heaven can be found
[LITTLE BROTHER & MATE]
When you swept me away
Yeah, you swept me away

[LITTLE BROTHER]
I see the end of the rainbow
But what more is a rainbow
Than colors out of reach?
If you come down to my window
And I'll climb out my window
Then we'll get out of reach

[LITTLE BROTHER & CREW]
Well you send my life a-whirling
Darling, when you're twirling
On the floor
And who cares about tomorrow?
What more is tomorrow
Than another day
When you swept me away?
Yeah you swept me away

[MATE, spoken]
Enjoy your night, lad

[LITTLE BROTHER, spoken]
You too, sir
[MATE, spoken]
She sounds like a fine girl

[MATE]
Yeah you swept me away

[LITTLE BROTHER]
Yeah you swept me away
