I Sing I Swim Lyrics - Singles - Seabear

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 

I miss you 

Even when you're around 

A black cloud 

Sending lightning to the ground 

Darling, please show your teeth 

Just one more dance to help me sleep 

All good, cold water eyes 

Fill the past with friendly nights 

Human skin can be hard to live in 

You'll feel better in the morning 

Swim, wash your hands in the lake 

Swim, you got a heart in the way 

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 

Swim, wash your face in the lake 

Sing, you've got a diamond under your skin
