i could never have made her mine

the swallows fly all along the canal and i watch with a heavy heart .
in dizzy spins they dive and wheel
touch wings and then depart .
touch wings and then depart .
as the summer fades away .
though i loved the ground she walked upon
i knew that i could not stay .

the swallow is a summer child and she flies before the cold .
though i loved the ground she walked upon
she was not mine to hold .
she was not mine to hold .
but it was easy to pretend .
though i loved the ground she walked upon .
a summer has to end
a summer has to end . .
