Lake Swimming Lyrics - Laura Veirs

LAURA VEIRS 

Lake Swimming 

Lake swimming 

Shucking free our deadened selves 

Like snakes and corn do 

Our bodies tore off swimming suits 

And all the old notions 

The cold ocean far away 

Enter the sun 

Marching like a matador 

Flashing her yellow velvet suit 

Throwing a red cape on the sky 

Old butterfly 

I'll dance with you 

Though our wings may crumble 

We can float like ash 

Broken but the edges still shine

Lake swimming 

Shucking free our deadened selves 

Like snakes and corn do 

Our bodies tore off swimming suits 

And all the old notions 

The cold ocean far away
