Black Swan Lyrics by The Struts

Everybody Wants (2016 U.S. Reissue)

2014

I was a boy from the hills
That rained so much before she came
Then I saw you we grew together
We were just the same
We fell in love oh so desperately
Against the family's will
We planned to run away
She said to meet me at night on the hill
They'll never find us
That's what she said
We could have made it out
But In the night they stole her life
Now there's nothing more than this
A lonely sky amongst the mist
Now you're gone
My black swan
I know there's nothing left to say
But if you ever fly my way
Sing your song
Now you're gone
Love so strong
My black swan
And they said the case was a mystery
The jury set them free
Now the town seals my history
To a place no one should be
You did the crime that's what they say
I wish I could clear my name
From that dark night they stole her life
Now there's nothing more than this
A lonely sky amongst the mist
Now you're gone
My black swan
I know there's nothing left to say
But if you ever fly my way
Sing your song
Now you're gone
Love so strong
My black swan
"They'll never find us"
That' s what she said
We could have made it out
But that dark night they stole her life
"You did the crime"
That's what they say
I wish I could clear my name
From that dark night they stole her life
Now there's nothing more than this
A lonely sky amongst the mist
Now you're gone
My black swan
I know there's nothing left to say
But if you ever fly my way
Sing your song
Now you're gone
Love so strong
My black swan
My black swan
My black swan
