SOL DO RE5 SOL DO LA DO RE5
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
SOL DO RE5 SOL DO LA
The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago,
DO RE5
turned around backwards so the windshield shows.
SOL DO RE5 SOL DO LA
Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse.
DO RE5
Still, it's so much clearer.
SOL DO RE5 SOL
I forgot my shirt at the water's edge.
DO LA DO RE5
The moon is low tonight.
{Play Rhy. Fig. 1}
SOL DO RE5 SOL
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
DO RE5 SOL5
I'm not sure all these people understand.
DO RE5 SOL
It's not like years ago,
DO LA DO RE5 SOL5
The fear of getting caught, of recklessness and water.
DO RE5 SOL
They cannot see me naked.
DO LA DO RE5 SOL
These things, they go away, replaced by everyday.
DO SOL DO LA
Nightswimming. Remembering that night.
DO RE5 DO DO RE5
September's coming soon. I'm pining for the moon.
SOL DO LA DO
And what if there were two side by side in orbit
RE5 SOL
around the fairest sun?
DO RE5 SOL DO LA DO RE5
That bright, tight forever drum could not describe nightswimming.
SOL DO RE5 SOL DO LA
You, I thought I knew you. You, I cannot judge.
DO RE5
You, I thought you knew me.
SOL DO RE5 SOL DO
This one laughing quietly underneath my breath.
LA DO RE5
Nightswimming.
