Swans and the Swimming - Iron & Wine

Take me again she said thinking of him

To the pond with the swans and the swimming

Far from his room the familiar perfume

How it left her aware she was naked

The lesson she learned when her memory serves

Is to marvel with love at the sunset

And walking away at the dark end of day

She will measure and break like a habit

Oh how the rain

Sounds as loud as a lover's words

And now and again

She's afraid when the sun returns

Take me again she said thinking of him

I don't care for this careful behavior

A brush through her hair children kissing upstairs

Keeps her up with her want for her savior

The sun on the sand on her knees and her

Hands

As she begs for her fish from the water

But turned them away she's a whip and a slave

Given time she may find something better

Oh how the rain

Sounds as loud as a lover's words

And now and again

She's afraid when the sun returns
