Swimming

Everyone went floating
Down in the river
And I was floating with you.
Saw the sun cross the sky,
The trees throw dark shadows,
And the whole world moving through.

Oooh.

Come away in the darkness
(Come on away)
Down to the trainyard
(Walk with me, now)
And we can sit on the wall
(Watch the trains go by)
While the lightning flashes,
(Don't be afraid)
Throwing distant thunder,
(It's only a little storm)
And hear the train whistle call.
(There it is, now)

(I know you've had a long day)
(But it's almost over now)
(And we're just floating down the river)
(So let all your troubles flow down the river with you)

I know that your heart
Is adrift in confusion:
A wild bird you cannot steer.
(It's a fluttering little thing)
But come down in the evening
(Come on and sit with me)
To the edge of the river
And watch the old stars reappear.

Oooh,

(I know some of you listening to this song are thinking,)
("I'm floating down a river of my own.")
(So come on and float with us.)
