Flamingo or a Swan
Wasn't purple, pink, or white
Legs not too long, or short, but just right
She was so lovely, she was so kind
I can’t remember, have I lost my mind
Was she a flamingo or a swan
How can I know now that she’s gone
I hope I find her or she finds me
Nothing could make me more happy
As I think back and wonder
How we separated from that loud thunder
She must have been so very worried
Tried to catch her, oh how I hurried
The wind was strong the rain was hard
I’m just so happy to land in your yard
Was she a flamingo or a swan
How can I know now that she’s gone
Perhaps someday I will find
That she’s ok and just in a bind
Feel so lonely and so lost
Hope our paths again will cross
How can I know
Where ever did she go
Perhaps she’s found another soul mate
I guess I’ll just have to wait
I’m trying to figure
I’m trying to picture
Why I know her so well
Yet I cannot tell
Was she a flamingo or a swan
How can I know now that she’s gone
