The Swimmer Lyrics

Lyrics: Philippe Soupault

Drums, Hofner bass, accordion, claviola, piano, marimba
and Hammond B-3: Joshua Camp and Michael Hearst.
A thousand bird calls
The sun humming with light
Street of sky and earth
And my shadow turns around me clock-wise
I float like a lost face and go on until bedtime.
In the eyes of mirrors
I recognize a stranger who is me
I shut my eyes like a lock
We will never know when the night begins or where it ends
But I don't care, because you'll sleep beside me tonight
When fatigue rests upon my head like a crown.
