Intro: Am7  Dsus2  
Am7I´ve watched the sDsus2tars fall silent
from your eyes
All the sights that I have seen
I can´t believe that I
believed I wished that you could see
There´s a new planet in the solar system
There is nothing up my sleeve
CI´m C/Bpushing an Amelephant up the stairs
I´m tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
GCrashing to the ground
Am7And all thDsus2is talk of time
Talk is fine
And I don´t want to stay around
Why can´t we pantomime, just
close our eyes and sleep sweet dreams
Being here with wings on our feet
CI´m pC/Bushing an Amelephant up the stairs
I´m tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
GCrashing to the ground
AmI´m Cbreaking Gthrough I´m Dbending Amspoons
C   G(hold) Am  
I´m keeping flowers in full bloom
I´m Clooking for Ganswers from the Dgreat beyonCd
I want the Am7hummingbirds, the D2dancing bears
Sweetest dreams of you
Look into the stars
Look into the moon
CI´m C/Bpushing an Amelephant up the stairs
I´m tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
GCrashing to the ground
AmI´m Cbreaking Gthrough I´m Dbending Amspoons

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.

The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago,

Turned around backwards so the windshield shows.

Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse.

Still, it's so much clearer.

I forgot my shirt at the water's edge.

The moon is low tonight.


Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.

I'm not sure all these people understand.

It's not like years ago,

The fear of getting caught,

Of recklessness and water.

They cannot see me naked.

These things, they go away,

Replaced by everyday.


Nightswimming, remembering that night.

September's coming soon.

I'm pining for the moon.

And what if there were two

Side by side in orbit

Around the fairest sun?

That bright, tight forever drum

Could not describe nightswimming.


You, I thought I knew you.

You I cannot judge.

You, I thought you knew me,

this one laughing quietly
underneath my breath.

Nightswimming.


The photograph reflects,

Every streetlight a reminder.

Nightswimming
deserves a quiet night,
deserves a quiet night.
