Swimming In The Barrow

Swimming In The Barrow - Lynn Hilary

I woke in my hat and my boots

Because I knew that I'd miss the show

I didn't know what day it was and I didn't need to know

The iris summer is like no other for skipping down to the sea

But a hot day down by the barrow so brown

Is like heaven on earth to me

So down we go in the summer's glow

You'll run to keep up with me

We're set for the day and we know we can stay

With a bun and a bottle of tea

The iris summer is like no other for skipping down to the sea

But a hot day down by the barrow so brown

Is like heaven on earth to me

So we run outside say who cares about the weather

Tell me you'll be mine for a thousand years

And the water's fine wish this day could last forever

And stay summertime for a thousand years

Jump you little boy sink down into the barrow

Jump you little boy down deep into the barrow

Swim you little boy now swimming in the barrow

Swim you little boy down deep into the barrow

The girls arrive so very alive with ribbons and shiny hair

You're risking your life with a class of a dive

I hope that I see you there

The iris summer is like no other for skipping down to the sea

But a hot day down by the barrow so brown

Is like heaven on earth to me

I woke in my hat and my boots because

I knew that I'd miss the show

I didn't know what day it was and I didn't need to know

The iris summer is like no other for skipping down to the sea

But a hot day down by the barrow so brown

Is like heaven on earth to me

So we run outside say who cares about the weather

Tell me you'll be mine for a thousand years

And the water's fine wish this day could last forever

And stay summertime for a thousand years

Jump you little boy sink down into the barrow

Jump you little boy down deep into the barrow

Swim you little boy now swimming in the barrow

Swim you little boy down deep into the barrow

Jump you little boy now

Jump you little boy now

Swim you little boy now

Swim you little boy now

Jump you little boy now

Swim you little boy now

Swim you little boy now
