74 Swans Lyrics - Bloodless Coup - Bell X1

You counted 74 swans on the canal 

You counted 74 swans on the canal 

You were glad it was an even number 

Everybody had another 

No one was facing this cold alone 

This cold alone, cold alone, cold alone 

They were gathered between bridges 

In the steely sunshine 

Bookend by ice on either side 

Here comes a pair on final approach 

Wings like great white bellows 

Gathering inward to land and it looks like grace 

Looks like grace, looks like grace 

You counted 74 swans on the canal 

You counted 74 swans on the canal 

You were glad it was an even number 

Everybody had another 

No one was facing this cold alone 

I thought you were right there with me 

On my left side 

Too eager to get where I'm going 

I left you behind 

But you were on the last watch 

The passing of the torch 

You counted 74 swans, now there's 75
