Swimming

I was treading on the beach
 Summer underneath my feet
 Somewhere I'd never seen
 Mama led me by the hand
 'Til the grit stuck with the damp
 And the foam fizzed adrift
 When we both strode in
 I could feel the detritus lifting
 And I moved like I knew that I was free again
 Then before thinking I ventured out
 Swimming
 Across the sea
 The current battles way down below me
 Drifting
 But holding on
 I keep my head up to watch the shore
 ♪
 After many years had passed
 Hoping I would find the path
 I arrived at the start
 In the shadow of a cliff
 Memories floating in the wind
 I squared up to the tide
 On my own this time
 I could feel the detritus lifting
 While a teardrop tickled as it ran away
 But it got lost in the wash I tossed
 Swimming
 Across the sea
 I get the feeling
 I always have been
 Swimming
 Across the sea
 The current battles way down below me
 Drifting
 But holding on
 I keep my head up to watch the shore
