St. Rosa and the Swallows Songtext
von The Thermals

Passing the corners we′ve kissed in the rain
Passing these old rusted warning signs
What did they say?
I think they said "Run!"

Passing the roofs of excuses we've made
Passing these open windows
What made me turn away?
How did I fight the black days and the static nights?

St. Rosa, she flies, she flies with the swallows
St. Rosa, I feel I could follow back to Capistrano
And I will hold you tight
Through the cold days and the frozen nights

Passing our enemies
Passing our friends
Passing the means we used to tell the difference between
It′s subtle


I try to remember if I was ever lonely
If I was ever low
Hell, hell yes, I was low
How did I fight the black days and the static nights?

St. Rosa, she flies, she flies with the swallows
St. Rosa, I feel I could follow back to Capistrano
And I will hold you tight
Through the cold days and the frozen nights

Passing all the days I switched to Auto-mode
Days for which I've nothing to show
Pausing all the days I'm afraid I′ll forget
The day′s only clear for a second

The day's only clear for a second
Day′s only clear for a second
But I will hold you tight
Through the cold days and the frozen nights

Yeah, but it's cold, cold, cold
