Swimming slowly across the crystal-clear lake Crossing the wakes of other creatures in stride Finding it hard to imagine my very own wake Without a matching one at its side Seeing other swans, happily swimming in pairs Feeling lonely, empty, totally incomplete 'Twould be different if the others put on airs I could blame it on arrogance and conceit But those who've found their soulmates know It's not about being better than us lonely ones Only a matter of having found that special glow Between two, a union that only rarely comes Seeking that union is a lifetime quest To find another with whom to share my life To meet that one that will fill my nest And end this worrysome, life-long strife I swim the lake, seeking my soulmate swan Looking for him in every passing wake One mate to cherish, forever, on and on Upon life's great big, scary lake For when I meet him, I'll not sing this song I'll look at him and gaze into his very soul I'll love him and ONLY him, my whole life long For with only him am I complete and whole When two swans meet and finally kiss A heart is made that once was broken A lifelong partnership begins in bliss No more words need be spoken \ |
