Strong Swimmer - Josh Ritter

Composed by：Josh Ritter

On the night that you were born

Your mama who had many friends

Took you down across the reach

To meet the tide come in

Were no lilies from my footsteps

Were no temple curtains torn

Still I felt you move inside me

A strong swimmer to be born

La la la la la la la la

Oh the wind was in your hair

And your cheeks were flecked with salt

Your eyes were two boats for the moon

I said a strong swimmer you'll be called

La la la la la la la la la

Now I cannot believe to see

The leagues that you have swum

Cannot believe you once were me

That you and I were one

Time only travels one way

I'm afraid still I'm a fool

'Cause in my mind I try to wind

The twine back on the spool

Now I'm standing on the cliffs

And the cold sea far below

And the birds that float the midway air

Like driven flakes of snow

Cannot go where you are going

Can no longer fight those waves

Still I'll watch you 'til you're out of sight

A strong swimmer all the way

La la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la

On the night that you were born

Your mama who had many friends

Took you down across the reach

To meet the tide come in
