Wild Swans
I never meant to hurt you
I found myself in woods and waters
Oh, oh
When everything went wicked
I only wanted to be saved
There’s this place I go
But you won’t ever know
I felt myself returning to there
I felt that I did gold with the waters glow
So I run to the east
Don’t tell me that it’s over
I never wanted the beast
Don’t tell me that it’s over
It’s not over 'til I say it’s over
Don’t tell me that it’s over
It’s not over 'til I say it’s over
I went to fetch some water
You hadn’t eaten for some time
You said we're two wild swans
Oh how it turned me on
You said it wouldn’t last forever
You said that every song lasted only so long
So I run to the east
Don’t tell me that it’s over
I never wanted the beast
Don’t tell me that it’s over
It’s not over 'til I say it’s over
Don’t tell me that it’s over
It’s not over 'til I say it’s over
Don’t tell me that it’s over
It’s not over 'til I say it’s over
Don’t tell me that it’s over
It’s not over 'til I say it’s over
