She Is Like The Swallow Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Dance With Me Lois 

Cover art for She Is Like The Swallow lyrics by Karan Casey

Karan said, in the CD booklet, that it's about a woman having a miscarriage. I can't exactly remember how, and the booklet is thusly missing. I think it was about how she went into the garden to give birth, but the baby was still born, hence, "I love my love, but love is no more" meaning the baby's life is gone, and she loved it but cannot now. The river running dry is maybe blood running dry? I can't remember. 8D
