Swann Song - Chris Pureka[00:00:00]

Yeah I could tell you lots of things [00:00:19]

I grew up on the bay [00:00:24]

I used to race my sisters up the fence-side[00:00:29]

To Mr Medley's place [00:00:33]

Papa ran the general store[00:00:39]

And mama did everything[00:00:41]

And the waves and the waves and the sea [00:00:42]

Time brought me here like a fishing boat[00:00:48]

At the whim of the Atlantic breeze [00:00:52]

It was a good life [00:00:57]

Yeah it was a good life [00:01:00]

I'd do it all again [00:01:05]

I joined the Navy Nurses Corp [00:01:11]

It was 1941[00:01:21]

And I met my sailor in that fated harbor[00:01:25]

In the days before the bombs came [00:01:30]

Hail Mary I made it home [00:01:36]

'Til I was laughing as my ship went down [00:01:39]

Singing and bailing water right back[00:01:45]

To the shores of San Francisco town [00:01:48]

It was a good life [00:01:54]

Yeah it was a good life [00:01:58]

I'd do it all again [00:02:03]

I was hitched out in Reno [00:02:09]

I stayed at home[00:02:16]

And he went out to sweep the mines [00:02:17]

I'll never forget the day[00:02:23]

We heard it on the radio [00:02:25]

It was the end of the war [00:02:28]

And we laughed and cried[00:02:32]

And cheered and laughed again [00:02:35]

Yeah we cried and cheered like it would be the last one [00:02:41]

Yeah sure yeah sure I've wished for things [00:03:23]

I wish I had been there the day that Nancy drowned [00:03:28]

I wish I hadn't seen them build a highway [00:03:32]

A highway right through my backyard [00:03:35]

But you just learn to love the little things [00:03:42]

I've lived long enough to know [00:03:46]

And I'm still waving from this front porch[00:03:51]

And this is still my swan song [00:03:55]

It was a good life [00:04:00]

It was a good life [00:04:04]

I'd do it all again [00:04:09]

I'd do it all again[00:04:14]

I'd do it all again[00:04:19]

Yeah[00:04:25]
