Last night, we both did dream
Of waters so cold, of waters so clean
And in my dream, i was so at ease
How i was floating
But your dream it was a different sort of dream
How your arms were flailing
And when you awoke, you were shaking still
And the hawk wind was poised to kill
As the feathered ice spread across the sill
I said if you let me, you know i’ll warm you, yes i will
And i’ll show you how it is to swim
Yes i’ll take you right in….
And then we’ll roll with the waves, follow the sound our breathing makes
Roll with the waves, follow the sound our breathing makes…..
But again and again you do tell me, this is not your time for love
You say there’s nothing inside me to give you, so run run run run run
But i slip into the lake, longing to shed my heavy weight
And i swim out to the sky, with no regard for that rip tide
And i roll with the waves, follow the sound our breathing makes
Roll with the waves, follow the sound our breathing makes
And i just don’t know how to hear you
When you say this is not your time for love…
For in these arms i find such comfort
And i’d rather swim than run
