Tom Verlaine – Swim lyrics

(Verlaine)
So, I saw myself.....
living somewhere in the North...
yeah,
I saw myself in the North...
in this trailer...
some water... and
pine trees around...
at night, I'd....
it's hard to say... sort of...
fly around.... yeah, that's it...
fly around...
and... er....
there was a lotta drafts in that trailer...
it was cold... yeah...
and... so... er...
one night, I heard this person - while
I was flying around - say...
said, er...
sounds funny, but...
said, "I am daylight"
As I lay my head in your lap
I feel the beauty of your soul
All the living splendour here
What a joy to behold.
I could swim, I could swim,
I could swim in your love,
In your love
In your love
I could swim in your love,
In your love
I could swim in your love,
In your love
Across the lake the wind is rising up
The birds are flying away,
Leaving nothing behind,
They know it's better that way
I could swim, I could swim,
I could swim in your love,
In your love
In your love
I could swim in your love,
In your love
I could swim in your love,
In your love
