lyrics

Flower Of The Swan
Words and music, Simon Bourke IMRO/ASCAP

The sirens are wailing
The blue lights are flailing
A car wreck is blazing
Out in The Swan
Look for the lady
Who's driving them crazy
Don't look for Jasmine
Jasmine is gone
CHORUS
It's out to Firoda
And back to Bilboa
On to Little Moscow
And Gazebo I've gone
For one trace or token
To hear her name spoken
Jasmine, Jasmine
Flower of The Swan

Her laughter still taunts me
The scent of her haunts me
The fire still smoulders
In her smoke-coloured eyes
My fingers are dreaming
Of walking the shoreline
Where sand-coloured nylon
Laps sweat-salted thighs
CHORUS
It's out to Firoda
And back to Bilboa
On to Little Moscow
And Gazebo I've gone
For one trace or token
To hear her name spoken
Jasmine, Jasmine
Flower of The Swan

Flower of The Swan
What have you done?
Your anthracite hair
I swear
Has crazied everyone

If you should meet her
Tell her I beat her
Say I survived her
Say I endured
Tell her I'm sober
Since a year last October
Tell her I'm over her
Tell her I'm cured
CHORUS
It's out to Firoda
And back to Bilboa
On to Little Moscow
And Gazebo I've gone
To hear her name spoken
To see her arms broken
Jasmine, Jasmine
Flower of The Swan
