one last swim
the whispering sea calls out to me
come shelter in my sanctuary,
tonight i'll swim beneath dark skies
when i grow tired
death is my prize,
i feel the lights behind me fade
but i won't stop my midnight raid,
i'll reach my goal and free my soul
when my body's dead and it's gone cold,
my arms are heavy and they pull me down
i'm out too far and i can't turn 'round,
i see your face, i can smell your hair
be patient girl i'm almost there,
tonight the moon will see us rise
as we enter black paradise
we'll swim into the peaceful night,
beneath dark skies,
our moon shines bright.
