The Shores Of The Swilly

By the shores of the Swilly, two children at play 
  The king of the castle, the queen of the may 
  Just me and my sister, in a world of pretend 
  Where the sun would keep shining, the day never end 

  By the shores of the Swilly, now with kids of our own 
  Another year over, and see how they've grown 
  Then we'd watch the last sunset, and walk arm in arm 
  Till I see you next summer; God keep you from harm 
  And if I was a flier who crashed now and then, 
  She would put me together and fly me again. 

  And if I was a flier who crashed now and then, 
  She would put me together and fly me again. 
  By the shores of the Swilly, with an aching inside 
  I'll watch as her body is raised from the tide... 
  Her life has been taken, and I'll never know why 
  But I feel in that moment, a part of me died...
