Night swimming

Deserves a quiet night

The photograph on the dashboard

Taken years ago

Turned around backwards so the windshield shows

Every street light reveales a picture in reverse

Still its so much clearer

I forgot my shirt at the waters 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 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

The bright tide that ever drawn

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
