If I Were a Swan

Floating in midair
Weightless and lost
Flying to somewhere
Far from the frost
You would have asked me to stay in the pond
Only if I were a swan

All of the sweet words
Whispered to me
Changed to absurd lies
Starting to crease
Knowing your loving would not have withdrawn
Only if I were a swan

Little by little I see through
What is important to you
Learning the truth --- I'm a duckling to you

Now I will take flight
Leave you behind
Saving my bruised heart from drowning in plight
Darling I could have been first on your list
I could have appeared in your dreams
Only a swan had I been
