I wander lonely as a cloud

I keep my head above the crowd

Ain't nobody else as big as me

But I must remember friends

What has to start just has to end

Everybody's got a destiny



And I know when the swallows flies

Yes I know, and the earth just dies

Then I'll be told what I am

The swallow and me



I'll look after number one

I'll forget the beggar's son

Everybody's got to stay alive

I'll keep a-walking amongst the clouds

I'll keep my head above the crowd

I'll watch them live, I'll watch them die



And I know when the swallows flies

Yes I know, and the earth just dies

Then I'll be told what I am

The swallow and me



And I know when the swallows flies

Yes I know, and the earth just dies

Yes I know when the swallow flies

Yes I know, and the earth just dies
