Nightswimming

Lyrics for Nightswimming

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago Turned around backwards so the windshield shows Every street light reveals a picture in reverse Still it's so much clearer I forgot my shirt at the water's edge The moon is low tonight Nightswimming deserves a quiet night I'm not sure all these people understand It's not like years ago The fear of getting caught The recklessness in water They cannot see me naked These things they go away Replaced by every day Nightswimming, 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? That bright tight forever drum Could not describe nightswimming You, I thought I knew you You, I can not judge You, I thought you knew me This one laughing quietly Underneath my breath Nightswimming The photograph reflects Every street light a reminder Nightswimming Deserves a quiet night Deserves a quiet night
