Wild Swimming
Let's go, wild swimming again, I love the feeling of fear,
Being deep in your sphere.
Let’s go, play in the park,
Coz sometimes I jump the fence after dark
And sit on a branch, that lies in the mind,
Invisible to all human unkind.
And we sing softly to the stars, and all the in between.
There is an order to it all although it sometimes seems obscene.
I think it knows your heart although it lives upon a spear.
This landscape is so changeable, and the weather knows only love and fear.
Let’s cross, the desert at night, I see no reason to make up this fight.
I don’t need distraction, to live under traction, my life is my own.
Let’s go wild swimming again, I love the feeling of fear, ice cold kisses on skin.
Coz some call it summer, and some call it rain, I live with whats here, til I see you again.
And we sing softly to the stars, and all the in between.
There is an order to it all although it sometimes seems obscene.
I think it knows your heart although it lives upon a spear.
This landscape is so changeable, and the weather knows only love and fear.
