Swimming in the water

Lying on the sand

Hoping that the one I love

Would come and take my hand

Swimming in the water

Lying by the sea

Hoping that the one I love

Would come and lie with me



She’s so near and yet so far and yet

She still seems near to me

So far and yet so near and yet

She still seems far from me

The future brings so many things

Will it bring her to me?



Swimming in the ocean

‘Neath skies so pearly blue

And how much time do I have left

To fantasize of you?

Lying by the seashore

The waves wash up and down

My mind is drifting in the clouds

My body’s turning brown

Awaiting an encounter

With one I loved so well

Will she come sailing back to me

To free me from this spell?



She’s the one I loved and yet forgot

And still remember well

So well and yet so soon forgot

I’m still beneath her spell

The future brings so many things

Will it bring her to me?



Swimming in the ocean

The sun is always bright

And how much time does she have left

To spend with me tonight?

Walking by the water

Running on the shore

Wishing that I’d never said

I don’t need you no more

Jogging past so many

Trying to ease my mind

Wishing that I could forget

Regret that makes me blind



She’s the one I loved and yet forgot

And still remember well

So well and yet so soon forgot

She’s got me ‘neath her spell

The future brings so many things

Will it bring her to me?



Swimming in the ocean

‘Neath skies so pearly blue

And how much time do I have left

To fantasize of you?

Riding on my surfboard

Dancing in the foam

Wishing that the one I loved

Still lived within my home

Balancing on breakers

Shooting through the curl

Wishing that she meant no more to me

Than any other girl



She’s the one I need and though I plead

With sand and sky and sea

No one can hear a word I say

There’s no one hear but me

The future brings so many things

Will it bring her to me?



Rushing on my surfboard

Toward a beach so pearly white

If I should see her once again

Will she stay with me tonight?



Swimming in the water

Lying on the sand

Hoping that the one I love

Would come and take my hand

Swimming in the water

Lying by the sea

Hoping that the one I love

Would come and lie with me



She’s so near and yet so far and yet

She still seems near to me

So far and yet so near and yet

She still seems far from me

The future brings so many things

Will it bring her to me?



Swimming in the ocean

‘Neath skies so pearly blue

And how much time do I have left

To fantasize of you?
