I forgot my shirt at the water's edge.
C A C | D5 |
The moon is low tonight.

G C D5 G
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
C D5 G5
I'm not sure all these people understand.

It's not like years ago,
C A C D5 G5
The fear of getting caught, of recklessness and water.
C D5 G
They cannot see me naked.
C A C D5 G
These things, they go away, replaced by everyday.

around the fairest sun?

You, I thought you knew me.

This one laughing quietly underneath my breath.
