Strong Swimmer Lyrics
You were such a strong swimmer
and you taught me how
to never fear those tall waves
and you'd stay
in those deep waters
always inviting
to a bed on the bottom
and that current took you away
and it made you pay and pay
when I saw you
I didn't know your name
it was such a long winter
when the ice had thawed
there wasn't much that survived it
it takes more than a strong swimmer
to stay above water
with a body divided
and that current took you away
and it made you pay and pay
when I saw you
I didn't know your name
when I see you they'll give us different names
I clear my mind of joy and sorrow
river doesn't know tomorrow
rolls along with such simplicity
you told me you had stashed away
a note that would explain the way
you felt if we would ever find you gone
the river only knows to carry on
the river only knows to carry on
and you taught me how
to never fear those tall waves
and you'd stay
in those deep waters
always inviting
to a bed on the bottom
and it made you pay and pay
when I saw you
I didn't know your name
when the ice had thawed
there wasn't much that survived it
it takes more than a strong swimmer
to stay above water
with a body divided
and it made you pay and pay
when I saw you
I didn't know your name
when I see you they'll give us different names
river doesn't know tomorrow
rolls along with such simplicity
you told me you had stashed away
a note that would explain the way
you felt if we would ever find you gone
the river only knows to carry on
the river only knows to carry on
