Dm C
Two island swans, mated for life,
Dm C Dm
And his faithful heart would not consider any other wife.
Dm C
For three years peaceful joy midst the rushes of the pond,
Dm C Dm
Proud and gentle was the loving of the last two island swans.
Dm C
Their love was like a circle, no beginning and no end,
Dm C Dm
With his lady by his side a treasure and best friend.
Dm C
The pond was all so peaceful in the rising of the sun,
Dm C Dm
Young and free at the island breeze their life had just begun.
Dm C
'Til a dread day in November when the searing cold did start,
Dm C G
Stalked the hunter with his bow and put an arrow through her heart.
Dm C
Husband come to my side let your feathers warm my pain,
Dm C Dm
For I feel I will not spend another day with you again.
F C Dm
And the cold winds blow,
F C Am
He was brave but he's laid low.
Dm C Dm
By her body in the isle of mist,
F G Am
I saw him give her one last cold kiss, one last cold kiss.
Dm C
Of swans the people talk of only one in this days tide,
Dm C Dm
Though they brought him twenty ladies he would take no other bride.
Dm C
They say he will not move from the place where she did fall,
Dm C Dm
Once so proud he's beaten now and he will not rise at all.
F C Dm
And the cold winds blow,
F C Am
He was brave but he's laid low.
Dm C Dm
By her body in the isle of mist,
F G Am
I saw him give her one last cold kiss, one last cold kiss.
Dm C
Two island swans, mated for life,
Dm C Dm
And his faithful heart would not consider any other wife.
