The night doesn't like it looks just like your face on the moon to me
And I won't let you do what you want to do it's
funny how even now you're laughing
3/4
I won't let you do it
Verses 2+3
If you go I'll let the law know and the'll head you off when you touch the ground
In Malta catch a swallow for all of the guilty to set them free
Ohh, please don't go through with this I don't like the sound of it, it's
Wings fill the window and they beat and bleed, they
funny how even now you're miles away
hold the sky on the other side of borderline
3/4
I won't let you do it I won't let you do it
5/4
I won't let you go through with it
4/4
Meet them over at Dover
I'll just pilot the motor
Take them over the water
(2.only):
Like a swallow flying to Malta
6/8
With a hired plane and no names mentioned
Tonight's the night of the flight be- fore you know I'll be over the
water like a swallow There's no risk I'll wisk them
up in the moonlight and though pigs can fly they'll never
find me posing as the night and I'm home before the
G (1. Fm/A and to 2. "In Malta...")
morning
2.
Give me a break Oh let me try give me something to show for my
mis'rable life give me something to take would you break even my wings Like a swallow
Let me let me go ...with a hired plane
Let me let me go ...with a hired plane
end:
4/4
