lyrics

Swim out deep
Swim out deep
Swim out deep
Swim out further
If you rest on your back
The sharks won’t attack
Misjudged my abilities
Blind to my fragilities
I’d borrowed a wet suit
We’d swam as a group

Swim out deep
Swim out deep
Swim out deep
Swim out further
I hung at the back
Tracking the sand bank
My thoughts started to drift
Back at work on the morning
A meeting at nine
That I’d done no prep for an’
The report that I’d started
Was more than I’d bargained
For and was due before five
Gotta to pick the kids up
Make their mum think I’m thriving
Right last week’s mix up
Get tea, take them climbing

The sun was blinding
I lost my mind
I lost my bearings
The sun was blinding
I lost my mind
I lost my bearings

Although the surface
Was flat
I saw no splash from my buddy
The resting tanker was close
The coast far and fuzzy
I Swam out deep
Swam out deep
Swam out deep
Swam out further
Swam out deep
Swam out deep
Swam out deep

I learnt in wild swim class
Not to panic or sit tight
Knew from the speed, the debris
I was caught in a rip tide
A mouth full of brine
But “don’t fight the current”
Swim perpendicular
A solicitor’s ridiculous
We loved each other remember
I didn’t expect the letter
Or spring tides in September


Swim out deep
Swim out deep
Swim out deep
Swim out further
Swim out deep
Swim out deep
Swim out deep
Swim out further
Swim out deep
Swim out deep
Swim out deep
Swim out further
Swim out deep

I saw the gulls first
Then the hull of the small trawler
Raised my hand called out
Hauled out bawling
Harbour wall kids waved
I managed a small thumbs up
Dropped on the dock
Walked the two miles back
Leaving a trail
Wet through
