A Swallow In The Sun Lyrics

My love, let me bring
Anything your heart desires
Everything you'll ever need
When you rise
When you retire

Sweet thing, oh my word
Such a very pretty sight
As a swallow in the sun
As a sparrow in the night

My love, can you not feel it
I don't know how to let you go on
A swallow in the sun
A sparrow in the night
All alone

Dear heart, if I may
You are a beauty of the earth
You are broken like a glass
You don't know what you are worth

My love, can you not feel it
I don't know how to let you go on
A swallow in the sun
A sparrow in the night
All alone

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
