Sailing down the river, boats are passing by I'm watching sailors and commanders on their way With no home to stay They Don't see me Don't hear me And all those Rigid heads don't move as I am sailing by And my friendly salutations disappear So I am looking down and try to hide my face I want to chase my feelings – back to private spheres! I don't waste a tear Troubling doubts come up as I'm moving on A voice inside my head keeps saying "get you gone" I remember people calling me black swan To lead me astray Don't hate me Don't love me Just let me Take the stony path to climb a mountain high To have a look at what's there on the other side To find this kind of place that is well concealed Buried under junk and dust to be revealed Can't swim with the tide Amidst a mass of faces that all look all the same I'm feeling like a stranger who's outside the game I remember people calling me black swan But I don't go astray Don't see me Don't hear me Don't love me Don't hate me Just let me Go Between awake and sleep, in the dead of night I was surrounded by black water White swans with their wings spread wide Came quickly close then closer They're circling me with rising speed No way to move I'm sinking deep The ground beneath my feet Shakes me out of sleep Flee from the waters Cause the tide is rising high Flee from the waters Cause the waves will touch the sky
