Nightswimmer

To go swimming at night

Me, I can only hope

That he'll go out with the tide

You're only my only love

And I can't keep my head above

This ocean that you poured

All over the bathroom, floor

My darling wears his clothes

To go swimming at night

Me, I can only hope

That he'll go out with the tide

And the sun blushed silver

And the cracks of the pavement sweat like the crust

Of a toffee pecan pie

And the orange dust in the air a nice seasoning for

Humans scratching their legs on street corners

Spending their coins on carbonated sugar drinks

From the stalls by the park

But in the end the words run lifeless

And nothing ever came of

You're only my only love

And I can't keep my head above

This ocean that you poured

All over the bathroom

You're only my only love

And I can't keep my head above

This ocean that you poured

All over the bathroom

You're only my only love

And I can't keep my head above

This ocean that you poured

All over the bathroom

You're only my only love

And I can't keep my head above

This ocean that you poured

All over the bathroom
