Swan Song
We recorded this song specially for our story of Swan Lake.
Song sung and arranged by Gabriella Burnel.
Song recorded and produced by Auburn Jam
Lyrics by Bertie.
And the picture, commissioned by Storynory, is by Sophie Green.
The original tune comes from the lake scene in Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. It's a little "popped up" for our song, but we think it's rather thrilling ! and we hope you do too.
Song
Night
Falls upon the secret lake
I wake
More woman than a swan
I
Dance upon my pointed toes
I pose
More woman than a swan
This lake of tears
Sees me lift my chin
Sees me stretch my wing
Knows the hopes I cling
These slender reeds
See me twirl around
See me stroke the ground
See me fly unbound
You
Chance upon my lonely lake
You take
The arrow from my heart
We
Dance upon the moonlit stream
We seem
Quite destined for this part
This dawn of hope
Sees us form a pair
Sees us tour the air
Sees us bound to share
These skies of fire
See you lift me high
See us soar and fly
See us turn into one
At light I’m gone
Back to a swan
woman no more
Magician condition enchanted
Only love that is loyal can grant it
Romantic quite frantic I sigh
For love that is sudden can lie;
Can lie, can sigh, can die.
Light
Falls upon the secret lake
Less
Woman than a
Woman than a
Swan
