Choir Boy – Gathering Swans lyrics
[Verse 1]
Who am I to be mourning
My simple mysteries unfurled
When I have the privilege to be
Gathering swans for the new world
[Pre-Chorus]
Like angels we’ll fly
Gliding on
And trumpets will sigh
Solemn as the ashes rise
[Chorus]
Burn down the gallery
God’s greatest gag of suffering
Could there be happiness at least?
Or could murder be mercy?
[Verse 2]
Now I hear the children laughing
Amidst the feathers they will twirl
Snowy white in the springtime
Gathering swans for the new world
[Pre-Chorus]
The years will fly by
Diving on
And mothers will cry
Solemn as the ashes rise
[Chorus]
Burn down the gallery
God’s greatest gag of suffering
Could there be happiness at least?
Or could murder be mercy?
In fifty years we’ll see
Maybe we’ll have a family
Our children will dance and laugh and sing
Baby, happy anniversary
Who am I to be mourning
My simple mysteries unfurled
When I have the privilege to be
Gathering swans for the new world
[Pre-Chorus]
Like angels we’ll fly
Gliding on
And trumpets will sigh
Solemn as the ashes rise
[Chorus]
Burn down the gallery
God’s greatest gag of suffering
Could there be happiness at least?
Or could murder be mercy?
[Verse 2]
Now I hear the children laughing
Amidst the feathers they will twirl
Snowy white in the springtime
Gathering swans for the new world
[Pre-Chorus]
The years will fly by
Diving on
And mothers will cry
Solemn as the ashes rise
[Chorus]
Burn down the gallery
God’s greatest gag of suffering
Could there be happiness at least?
Or could murder be mercy?
In fifty years we’ll see
Maybe we’ll have a family
Our children will dance and laugh and sing
Baby, happy anniversary
