Night Swimmer Songtext
von Beth Jeans Houghton

My darling wears his clothes
To go swimming at night
Me, I can only hope
That he'll go out with the tide

You're only my only love
And I can't keep my head above
This ocean that you poured
All over the bathroom, floor

My darling wears his clothes
To go swimming at night
Me, I can only hope
That he'll go out with the tide


And the sun blushed silver
And the cracks of the pavement sweat like the crust
Of a toffee pecan pie
And the orange dust in the air a nice seasoning for
Humans scratching their legs on street corners
Spending their coins on carbonated sugar drinks
From the stalls by the park
But in the end the words run lifeless
And nothing ever came of

You're only my only love
And I can't keep my head above
This ocean that you poured
All over the bathroom

You're only my only love
And I can't keep my head above
This ocean that you poured
All over the bathroom

You're only my only love
And I can't keep my head above
This ocean that you poured
All over the bathroom

You're only my only love
And I can't keep my head above
This ocean that you poured
All over the bathroom
