G C D5 G C A | C | D5 |
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
G C D5 G C A |
The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago,
C D5
turned around backwards so the windshield shows.
G C D5 G C A |
Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse.
C D5
Still, it's so much clearer.
G C D5 G
I forgot my shirt at the water's edge.
C A C | D5 |
The moon is low tonight.
{Play Rhy. Fig. 1}
G C D5 G
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
C D5 G5
I'm not sure all these people understand.
C D5 G
It's not like years ago,
C A C D5 G5
The fear of getting caught, of recklessness and water.
C D5 G
They cannot see me naked.
C A C D5 G
These things, they go away, replaced by everyday.
C G C A |
Nightswimming. Remembering that night.
C D5 C C D5 |
September's coming soon. I'm pining for the moon.
G C A C
And what if there were two side by side in orbit
D5 G
around the fairest sun?
C D5 G C A C | D5 |
That bright, tight forever drum could not describe nightswimming.
G C D5 G C A |
You, I thought I knew you. You, I cannot judge.
C D5
You, I thought you knew me.
G C D5 G C
This one laughing quietly underneath my breath.
A C | D5 |
Nightswimming.
