Swimming - Kero Kero Bonito

I was treading on the beach

Summer underneath my feet

Somewhere I'd never seen

Mama led me by the hand

'Til the grit stuck with the damp

And the foam fizzed adrift

When we both strode in

I could feel the detritus lifting

And I moved like

I knew that I was free again

Then before thinking I ventured out

Swimming

Across the sea

The current battles way down below me

Drifting

But holding on

I keep my head up to watch the shore

After many years had passed

Hoping I would find the path

I arrived at the start

In the shadow of a cliff

Memories floating in the wind

I squared up to the tide

On my own this time

I could feel the detritus lifting

While a teardrop tickled as it ran away

But it got lost in the wash I tossed

Swimming

Across the sea

I get the feeling

I always have been

Swimming

Across the sea

The current battles way down below me

Drifting

But holding on

I keep my head up to watch the shore

Swimming
