Jack Dean & Company - The Swim
LEANDER: Spent the whole day sleepingWhen night falls I'm rushingown to the sands
It's all grey without her
All the colours run from across the border where she stands
I wonder what she's thinking
Maybe she won't follow through with the plan
But then I see that lighthouse twinkling
The brightest star in all the world rests upon the land
If I had wings like Hermes' sandalled feet
Or Pheatons horses charging though the sky
I'd leap this ocean like a mountain stream
And sttick a clumsy landing at your side
But since I'm just a lump of mortal clay
And there's no ship to bear me on its pr ow
I'll swim my passage through the crashing waves
To where your house's flickering light shines out
The water's dark and freezing
Pushing half the air out of my lungs
But as long as I'm still breathing
I can put one arm in front of the other until I'm done
The town's search lights are blazing
They won't a single boat come ashore
Good thing I'm not sailing
So as long as I'm not swept away I'll make it to her door
