The swimmer is so far from the distant shore
|
The only time she never feels alone
|
On the land her body distorts
|
In the water lines are true to her mind
|
I can hardly see you now
|
Are you getting closer and
|
Do you know yo're the one?
|
They will never understand
|
How washed up you feel on the land
|
The sport light of the sun, it shines on
|
|
The Swimmer knows she'll never touch the floor
|
She can float unharmed by murky wars
|
And the land is as plain as her skin
|
But the water shines like the star in her mind
|
