By the shores of the swilly
Two children are playing
The king of the castle
The queen of the may
Just me and my sister
and the world of pretend
Where the sun would keep shining
and the day never end
By the shores of the swilly
Now the kids of our own
another year over
and see how they've grown
Then when we
watched the last sunset
And walk arm in arm
Till I see you next summer
God keep you from harm
And if I was a flyer
who crushed now and then
She even put me together
and fly with me again
<interlude>
And if I was a flyer
who crushed now and then
She even put me together
and fly with me again
By the shores of the swilly
Within A king inside
I watch as her body
Is raised from the tide
Her live has been taken
And I'd never know why
But I felt in that moment
a part of me die
