the night doesn´t like it.
looks just like your face on the moon, to me.
and i won´t let you do
what you want to do.

it´s funny how, even now,
you´re laughing.

i won´t let you do it.

if you go, i´ll let the law know,
and they´ll head you off when you touch the ground.
ooh, please, don´t go through with this.
i don´t like the sound of it.

it´s funny how, even now,
you´re miles away.

i won´t let you do it.
i won´t let you do it.
i won´t let you go through with it.

"meet them over at dover.
i´ll just pilot the motor,
take them over the water

"with a hired plane,
and no names mentioned.
tonight´s the night of the flight.
before you know,
i´ll be over the water

"like a swallow.
there´s no risk.
i´ll whisk them up in no moonlight.
and though pigs can fly,
they´ll never find us
posing as the night,
and i´m home before the morning."

in malta, catch a swallow,
for all of the guilty--to set them free.
wings fill the window,
and they beat and bleed.

they hold the sky on the other side
of borderlines.

"meet them over at dover.
i´ll just pilot the motor,
take them over the water,
like a swallow flying to malta,

"with a hired plane,
and no names mentioned.
tonight´s the night of the flight.
before you know,
i´ll be over the water
like a swallow.

"there´s no risk.
i´ll whisk them up in no moonlight.
and though pigs can fly,
they´ll never find us
posing as the night,
and i´m home before the morning.

"give me a break!
ooh, let me try!
give me something to show
for my miserable life!
give me something to take!
would you break even my wings,
just like a swallow?

"let me--let me go
with a hired plane,
and no names mentioned.
tonight´s the night of the flight.
before you know,
i´ll be over the water
like a swallow.

("let me--let me go!")
"there´s no risk.
i´ll whisk them up in no moonlight.
and though pigs can fly,
they´ll never find us
posing as the night,
and i´m home before the morning.

("let me--let me go!")
"with a hired plane,
and no names mentioned.
tonight´s the night of the flight.
before you know,
i´ll be over the water
like a swallow.

("let me--let me go!")
"there´s no risk.
i´ll whisk them up in no moonlight.
and though pigs can fly,
they´ll never find us
posing as the night,
and i´m home before the morning--"

but you´re not a swallow!
