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
CHORUS: 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 border lines 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 Like a swallow flying to Malta
CHORUS
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
