| Written by: Barry Gibb Robin Gibb Maurice Gibb (1968) Lead vocals: Barry Gibb Album: Idea (1968) | I wander lonely as a cloud. I keep my head above the crowd. Ain’t nobody else as big as me. But I must remember friends. What has to start just has to end. Everybody’s got a destiny. And I know when the swallows flies. Yes, I know, and the earth just dies. Then I’ll be told what I am. The swallow and me. I’ll look after number one. I’ll forget the beggar’s son. Everybody’s got to stay alive. I’ll keep walking amongst the clouds. I’ll keep my head above the crowd. I’ll watch them live, I’ll watch them die. And I know when the swallows flies. Yes, I know, and the earth just dies. Then I’ll be told what I am. The swallow and me. Yes, I know when the swallows flies. Yes, I know, and the earth just dies. Yes, I know when the swallow flies. Yes, I know, and the earth just dies. |
