I Sing I Swim

When the birds are sleeping

That's when the trees sing

You left your winter clothes

And your teeth marks in my skin

So shake the leaves off the trees

Watch them float down the stream

Your son, your daughter

Swimming in the water

I miss you

Even when you're around

A black cloud

Sending lightning to the ground

Darling, please show your teeth

Just one more dance to help me sleep

All good, cold water eyes

Fill the past with friendly nights

Human skin can be hard to live in

You'll feel better in the morning

Swim, wash your hands in the lake

Swim, you got a heart in the way

Trails lost in the snow

Make way for winter's eerie glow

And that black rock in your bedroom

I hope you'll climb it soon

In your boat tied to a tree

I hope you'll find the sea

Throw me a dream please

It's been a dreamless sleep

For such a long time

Such a long time

Sing myself awake

Watch the branches break

No one could

Ever take your place

Swim, wash your face in the lake

Sing, you've got a diamond under your skin
