Jonny Johnson - Swimming in the Dark

He told her the good news
She shed tears and left the room
He thought he'd been waylaid
She couldn't get in what she had to say
He said, Will you listen to me at the park
So they go swimming in the dark

She tried to get him while he was at ease
Her body and her mind could use a piece
Of his unreal way of certainty
To strengthen her belief in purity
That paradise lost can restart
If they went swimming in the dark

He finds her silent on the swing
Her hair painted in golden sheen
He said, Why are you so difficult
Lately, you speak and I feel insulted
She said, I have lost the spark
We must go swimming in the dark

He wiped his eyes to clearly see
Her sentiment came suddenly
He said, Is it me or is it time
She said, We're stronger now, we can part just fine
He said, Now, you appear so stark
Now that we're swimming in the dark

The evening's light turned into moon
Their talking fuel gone far too soon
Apart from close they begin to spin
They kiss the spot on their skin
Where the other left their mark
'fore they go swimming in the dark

The sunrise begs them to go out and play
With forgotten worries of yesterday
Their woken souls can relax
Their gaze looks 'pon new pacts
That will trim the edge from their bark
Next time they're swimming in the dark
