Lisa Hannigan - Swan Lyrics






And what he wanted was a house
To fill that house with things he loved
To walk a garden that he owned
And lie and sleep upon its grass

And what he wanted was a wife
To be loved returned as he loved her
To fold around their easy talk
And to wake and stay there in her arms

And what he wanted was a child
To fill that house with her own voice
To carry her up into her room
And there she walks within her dreams

Dark greys churn that sky
Rain down on him that little man

Pull tight your coat against the cold
Step by step that dream will come
Step by step that dream will come
Pull tight your coat against the cold

    Here from New York USA, I 1st heard Lisa Hannigan back when I saw the vid. for “Volcano” by Damien Rice & thought I saw her playing the Cello & was instantly more mesmerized by her than anything he was doing....most especially when the song “Cold Water” was introduced into the film ‘The Girl in the Cafe’ w/Kelly McDonald & Bill Nighy. There were a bunch of films/TV shows that introduced their music. I know the music was listed as his, being that it came from his album (which I never had), but I was somewhat miffed & disappointed that I never saw the credit for her & that every song I heard @that time her voice was always 2nd. Again I understand it was his album(s). But then a wonderful thing started happening in which I heard her solo angelic voice w/her own musicians. &I picked up her 3mainstream US albums & was not surprised that she was put 2nd B4 b/c she WAS the talent. In the US women are always struggling in the business & each generation there are a handful of women that open the door for others. Here I connected most w/Tori Amos b/c I'm a pianist as well & in those early days it led to Sarah McLachlan & others doing the Lilith Fair project, all of it 2get more female talent in mainstream music. I love that I found Ms. Hannigan, but I hate this slippery slope of talentless cr*p stamped out there, despite the internet, while talented women having little to no control over their music struggle 2 make it in the industry for all to hear! Thank you Lisa for your, I'm sure, hard work & lovely input into this «business». I can’t wait for this new album!

  83. C.... ....

    I can't believe it's been ten years since first saw a post of yours (performing "I Don't Know" in a small compartment within a pub somewhere)... I was hooked on your tone and musical style then, and although much has changed for you since then, I'm still impressed with your unique and purely angelic gift. This video will be another of my favorites. You are an amazing artist and I wish for you continued success and happiness. A fan in Costa Mesa, California.
