lyrics

As clouds gather on the sky
I want to dive into the blue
Swim till I don’t have to try
My shoulders wide, my rhythm true

Chorus:
To be steady is not enough
You must fall in, you must fall off
Just remember you’re not that tough
Learning to swim when the sea is rough

Sleepy early morning frost
All is not lost, there’s much to do
And there is always an aching cost
Of pushing on, of pushing through

Chorus

We used to amble to the sand
Salt hair in strands, from your front door
Remembering when you held my hand
In this far land I miss you more

As clouds gather on the sky
I want to dive into the blue
Swim till I don’t have to try
My shoulders wide, my rhythm true

Chorus
