Swimming Pool Lyrics

Rachel is a gilded volume
Of holy scripture
That I read over and over again
Until I get the picture
And keep upon my night stand
Next to my pen and tumbler
But you, you are my swimming pool
My wet and holy slumber

Marc is like a pyre
I think of in the morning
When it’s time to go to work
And fear of work is dawning
He’s like a pure example
A sacred shrine burning
But you, you are my swimming pool
You take in all the yearning

You calm my heady thinkin’
A water bed to sink in
And rise out in the mornin’
For the sun to drink in

When I was a little girl
I had a love for swimming
And you, you are my swimming pool A well of love that’s brimming.

Jessie is a river flowin’
We never know where she’s goin’
But we’re happy to join her
Try to know what she’s knowin’
She weaves around those rocks and bends
Keeps the world stirring
But you, you are my swimming pool.
An island’s reassuring

You calm my heady thinkin’
A water bed to sink in
And rise out in the mornin’
For the sun to drink in

A many-layered triptych
The world that I can live in

But you, you are my swimming pool
A world that I can swim in
You, you are my swimming pool
A world that I can swim in
