Swan Dive

Swan dive
Swan dive
Swan dive

He stands on the ledge
glances back in
a sip, a salute
and a swan dive
But before the crash
one vivid flash of
a scene carried in
on a strange wind
strange wind

hooks under his elbows
lifts the boy up
presses his back
to the window
Frozen in space
between wall and wave
the great leap of faith
danger and joy on his face
his face

Swan dive
Swan dive
Swan dive

1979
swimming hole in July
Mom holds half a jay
laughing in the
sunshine on their backs
she didn't have to go like that
Last request before she left
She called out for a swan dive
Swan dive
Swan dive

When you come down
will you have enough?
When you come down
can you look up?
When you come down
will you have enough?
When you come down
will you look up?

Swan dive
Swan dive
Swan dive
