I Sing I Swim Tab

by Seabear


Intro:    

          
When the birds are sleeping
                    
That's when the trees sing
               
You left your winter clothes, 
                           
And your teeth marks in my skin


                     
So shake the leaves, off the trees, 
                
Watch them float down the stream
                 
Your son, your daughter
                
Swimming in the water

    

                                
And I miss you, even when you're around
             
I'm a black cloud, 
                         
Sending lightning to the ground


                              
So darling please, show your teeth
                                 
Just one more dance to help me sleep
        
Whirl, cold water eyes
                     
Fill the past with friendly nights
                                  
Human skin, can be hard to live in
                                      
You'll feel better in the morning
                                
Wash your hands in the lake
              
You've got a heart, some way

*Repeat for other verses*


Trails lost in the snow
Make way for winter's eerie glow
And that black rock in your bedroom
I hope you'll climb it soon
In your boat, tied to a tree
I hope you'll find the sea



Throw me a dream please, it's been a dreamless sleep
For such a long time, such a long time
Sing myself awake
Watch the branches break
No one could ever take your place



Wash your face in the lake
You've got a diamond under your skin
