"Nightswimming"

Nightswimming

Deserves a quiet night

The photograph on the dashboard

Taken years ago

turn around backwards o the windshield shows

Every streetlight

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

Nightswimming

Deserves a quiet night

I'm not sure all these people understand

It's not like years ago

The fear of getting caught

Of recklessness and water

They 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 ever drum

Could not describe

Nightswimming

You I thought I knew you

You I cannot judge

You I thought you knew me

This one laughing quietly

Underneath my breath

Nightswimming

The photograph reflects

Every streetlight a reminder

Nightswimming

Deserves a quiet night

Deserves a quiet night
