Nightswimming
Deserves a quiet night
The photograph on the dashboard
Taken years ago
Turn around backwards so 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 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 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
