Wash

Drift along to something clearer

Loose line the other way

Been a while since land felt nearer

Been a while since you went away

In the sun I know no shadow

Dusk come, I know no light

Well I won’t get up come morning

When I can’t get to sleep at night

Could I swim forever?

Could I swim forevermore?

I’m treading water

Can’t take it anymore

You wash me down - with something stronger

With you I’ll drown - a little longer

Then I see a shimmered distance

Horizon approaching fast

But my lungs are taking water

From oceans that come to pass

So I move until arms fail me

And I kick till my feet are sore

‘Till I reach you empty handed

And fall cold upon the shore

Could I swim forever?

Could I swim forevermore?

I’m treading water

Can’t take it anymore

You wash me down - with something stronger

With you I’ll drown - a little longer
