The water's cold A storm is approaching Not much of a metaphor this is
Is this the firm ground that I begged for? Seems to be another reef
Then the wave comes and I know I'll never go back Can you tie me to the mast so I don't fall from the deck And if I do, could you
Swim with me, swim with me I'll never forget Swim with me, swim with me I'll never forget again
My clothes are wet I see things clearer So much clearer than I did When we were walking hand in hand in the harbor Watching ships come and go
Then the wave comes and I know I'll never go back Can you tie me to the mast so I don't fall from the deck And if I do, could you
Swim with me, swim with me I'll never forget Swim with me, swim with me I'll never forget again
This distorted surface you see Is the mirror of my soul And this gale is our fear That the wind will take control But our vessel's way too sound For the storm to swallow I know someday we'll stand on the ground Feet in the water so shallow
