Swan Song

Camera Obscura - Swans

There's flowers in my house

And I bought them myself

No surprises in the record collection

You must have thought I was someone else

I'm still afraid to get lost

In a city I might explore

But I'm not afraid to have

An eloquent boy at my door

at my door

at my door

at my door

Oh you want to be a writer

Fantastic idea

You say you've never seen Alaska

I really think you'll like it there

Maybe you should travel with me

Is this the best idea

Because you've never seen a red wood

and you've never dodged a deer

a deer

a deer

dear

a deer

a deer

my dear

One swan is deceiving us all

Oh I for one should know

I never felt myself so graceful

And I never swam so slow

so slow

so slow

so slow...
