Golden Swansdown by The Night Flight Orchestra Lyrics

I never meant for this to happen
Ain't it strange how worlds collide
But I knew that very moment
She was something I never would survive
Forces of nature that can't be denied

I had watched her from a distance
Starry eyes and silver hands
Never thoughts she'd ever notice
Guess I'm blaming magic and circumstance
I'll just surrender and leave it to chance

Covered in golden swansdown
Gently, she stole my heart
Covered in golden swansdown
She knew I was losing right from the start

I never meant for this to happen
But I dreamt from time to time
That I'd find a way to see her
Just so I could leave all those dreams behind
Duly accepting she'd never be mine
Covered in golden swansdown
Gently, she stole my heart
Covered in golden swansdown
She knew I was losing right from the start

There's a light still radiating out of her
Although she is sweetly unaware
As I know I'll never find the proper words
I'll embrace the silence that we share

Covered in golden swansdown
Gently, she stole my heart
Covered in golden swansdown
She knew I was losing right from the start
