Karan Casey – She Is Like The Swallow Lyrics 19 years ago
I love the version from Lucia Micarelli on violin, and Leigh Nash vocals. It's an amazing, amazing version.

I would love some commentary on this song, because I would like to get other's ideas on what the song is about.

I love the imagery of a young woman gathering roses, and her 'making' her death bed; but I'm confused by the chorus which describes her with such resilient similes-a river that never runs dry, for instance.

So...what do other people think? In any case it's beautiful.

Floetry – Getting Late Lyrics 19 years ago
It's about various situations where things are getting hotter than they should be either cuz a) ure "just friends" and tryin to keep it there or b) u can't move into somethin cuz ure afraid of being burned again... it's getting late could mean a friend needs to go cuz its like 11pm and the question lingers "should i stay or should i go." Or it can mean, the relationship/friendship is getting deep and u need to figure out...what ground ure trespassin on here. that's my take. i love them. i wish songmeanings would put on "Now You're Gone" my absolute FAVORITE Floetry song
