Knife In The Water - Swallows lyrics

Well I decided early on If there's swallows in my barn If there's swallows in my house I wouldn't flush them out Well one swallow in my hand Is worth two swallows in my hand And all the swallows in my heart Across the corn and cotton beds I don't know Where the're coming from Or where they go When evening slow If every bird Malathion hold out Hitchco*k's word The force of nature as perverse And now I wouldn't give a damn If every swallow in this land And every bird in the world aroud Would die and hit the ground
