Swimmin' Time Lyrics - Swimmin' Time - Shovels & Rope

You can see the water 

Comin' outta the ground 

You can see the foundation 

Slipping down 

And you can't help but wonder 

How long it will be 

Before the restless ocean 

Comes lapping to 

the branches of the trees 

When the full moon 

Pulls up a mighty tide 

And there's no place to run 

And no place to hide 

When the ghosts in the ocean 

Turn up the sea 

And the waves come crashin' 

Over you and me 

I can see it comin' 

In the distance is the gloom 

Of the end of days 

When the sun calls home 

Its wandering rays 

When all of the iron 

Has gone to rust 

And every living thing 

Has turned to dust 

There won't be anyone left 

To float your boat 

They all went to high ground 

While their vessels still float 

They scream God's will 

But you know it's a lie 

By your own book 

It says by fire next time 

The golden egg's cracked open 

And there was nothing inside 

Cast all dispersions 

Build a levy of lies 

I can see it comin' 

Bite down on the leather 

And close your eyes 

There's nothin' to be done 

That can turn the tide 

The money in your eyes 

Has left you blind 

You'll be the one drownin' 

When it's swimmin' time 

I can see it comin'
