Night Swimming
Night swimming
Deserves a quiet night
The photograph on the dashboard
Taken years ago
Turn around back and so the windshield shows
Every street light reveals a picture and a verse
Still it's so much clearer
I forgot my shirt at the water's edge
The moon is low tonight
Night swimming
Deserves a quiet night
I'm not sure all these people understand
It's not like years ago
The fear of getting caught
The reckless mass of water
They cannot see me naked
These things they go away
Replace by every day
Night swimming
Remembering that night
September's coming soon
I'm pining for the moon
And what if there were two
Side by side in orbit around the fairest sun
The bright tide that ever drawn
Could not describe
Night swimming
You I thought I knew you
You I cannot judge
You I thought you knew me
This one laughing quietly
Underneath my breath
Night swimming
The photograph a flux
Every street light a reminder
Night swimming
Deserves a quiet night
Deserves a quiet night
