Swan Song

We recorded this song specially for our story of Swan Lake.

Song sung and arranged by Gabriella Burnel. Song recorded and produced by Auburn Jam Lyrics by Bertie.

And the picture, commissioned by Storynory, is by Sophie Green.

The original tune comes from the lake scene in Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake. It’s a little “popped up” for our song, but we think it’s rather thrilling ! and we hope you do too.

Song

Night Falls upon the secret lake I wake More woman than a swan

I Dance upon my pointed toes I pose More woman than a swan

This lake of tears Sees me lift my chin Sees me stretch my wing Knows the hopes I cling

These slender reeds See me twirl around See me stroke the ground See me fly unbound

You Chance upon my lonely lake You take The arrow from my heart

We Dance upon the moonlit stream We seem Quite destined for this part

This dawn of hope Sees us form a pair Sees us tour the air Sees us bound to share

These skies of fire See you lift me high See us soar and fly

See us turn into one At light I’m gone Back to a swan woman no more

Magician condition enchanted Only love that is loyal can grant it

Romantic quite frantic I sigh For love that is sudden can lie;

Can lie, can sigh, can die.

Light Falls upon the secret lake

Less Woman than a Woman than a Swan
