The Swimmer
You were born on a day of flood
Pier was sunk and the water kept rising
And all through the night your mother fought
Then you swam out,
Barely crying
Oh you're the swimmer
You're the swimmer
And I, a bird in the sky
And I, a bird in the sky
You were born with hands rough
And a heart, clean and strong
And I was born dying
With a heart familiar with flying
Oh you're the swimmer
You're the swimmer
And I, a bird in the sky
And I, a bird in the sky
And the bird may love the fish,
But where, where will they live?
Oh yes, the bird may love the fish,
But where will they live?
You were born in a thunderstorm
That struck the land, rolling from the ocean
And I was born in October
To the color and the cold
The sun was shining
Oh you're the swimmer
You're the swimmer
And I, a bird in the sky
And I, a bird in the sky
Pier was sunk and the water kept rising
And all through the night your mother fought
Then you swam out,
Barely crying
Oh you're the swimmer
You're the swimmer
And I, a bird in the sky
And I, a bird in the sky
You were born with hands rough
And a heart, clean and strong
And I was born dying
With a heart familiar with flying
Oh you're the swimmer
You're the swimmer
And I, a bird in the sky
And I, a bird in the sky
And the bird may love the fish,
But where, where will they live?
Oh yes, the bird may love the fish,
But where will they live?
You were born in a thunderstorm
That struck the land, rolling from the ocean
And I was born in October
To the color and the cold
The sun was shining
Oh you're the swimmer
You're the swimmer
And I, a bird in the sky
And I, a bird in the sky
