Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
ย
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
ย
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
ย
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
ย
The photograph reflects
ย
Every street light a reminder
Nightswimming
Deserves a quiet night
Deserves a quiet night
ย
