Nightswimming Deserves a quiet night 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 waters edge The Moon is low tonight
Nightswimming 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
