The Mess Hall Swing Low lyrics

No moon she said
Tonight it's just too dark
Is it hiding out
In someone else's heart

Then she found it parked between
The branches of a lemon tree
A quarter full
But sharp against the night

She was holding on
The wheel was lost
She'd found herself alone
To count the cost

But like that moon above she thought
A quarter of myself is not
Enough to justify
Me growing old

If I swing low
Darling we'll go slow
And fall on our feet
You and me


If I swing low
Darling we'll go slow
And fall on our feet
You and me

With flecks of dirt around my eye
I laid her down
Upon her side
And was hearing bells
and she was gone

If I swing low
Know that I'm going home
To fall on my feet
This world complete

If I swing low
Know that I'm going home
To fall on my feet
This world complete
