languid cocktail of love to a bossa beat

lyrics

Swimmer Boy
©1997 Alice Bierhorst/BMI

SWIMMER BOY
The summer is here in the shade of your stare
SWIMMER BOY
You dissolve all my fear in the salt of your skin
SWIMMER BOY
Make me more than I am, I can't wait to begin

CHORUS
I've been waiting in the wings
Biding my time
Just to deliver these lines
I want to breathe your tall glass of water

SWIMMER BOY
There's so much to say so keep reading my lips
SWIMMER BOY
It's all in the weight of my fingertips

CHORUS

SWIMMER BOY
SWIMMER BOY
And you keep asking me
If the pool is empty
And I want to tell you
I'll never ever let it run dry

SWIMMER BOY
Did you think you were wrong, it was all in your mind?
SWIMMER BOY
I knew all along but I tried to deny

CHORUS
