I’ll stay forever by my love
so proudly she does glide,
her feathers white as any dove
and I’ll stay by her side,
yes I’ll stay by her side.
I met her in the month of may
the lake so bright did shine
and she was fair as any fay
I knew that she was mine:
I’m hers, and she is mine.
And though she never speaks my name
and never casts a glance
I’ll feed my love’s eternal flame
till I may see my chance.
One day I’ll see my chance.
O what can stop a loving heart
if love itself is true?
The winter winds will make us part
but I will wait for you
yes I will wait for you.
In the summer of 2006, a black swan appeared on Lake Aasee in Münster and fell madly in love with a swan-shaped pedal boat.
This song is dedicated to her and to all other unconditional lovers.
