In the shadows of the night I saw her angel face An undefined form emerged in the haze I've never seen her kind around She is the queen of the underground Oh my little swamp girl, you're beautiful We walked by the light of the fireflies The roughness of her skin, the green of her eyes I was a taker, she was a giver Making sweet love beside the river Oh my little swamp girl, you're outta sight It was 07:15, it was the time it had always been The whistle blew loud she felt the pain within While I was dealing with my hesitation I left her waiting at the train station Oh little swamp girl Even a righteous man makes mistakes like everybody else What could be expected of a fool like myself? And I'm still thinking now and then About the bird I let escape from my hand Oh little swamp girl, where did you go? Oh little swamp girl, where did you go? Oh little swamp girl, I miss you so
