《Swims》歌词

[00:00:00] Swims - Mount Eerie

[00:00:14] I can't get the image out of my head

[00:00:27] Of when I held you right there

[00:00:34] And watched you die

[00:00:42] Upstairs in the back bedroom of our house

[00:00:48] Where we have lived for many years

[00:00:56] Your last gasping breaths

[00:01:03] I see it again and again

[00:01:09] As the breeze blew in

[00:01:24] The room I still don't go in at night

[00:01:31] Because I see you

[00:01:39] Your transformed dying face will recede with time

[00:01:45] Is what our counselor said

[00:01:52] Who we walked to every Monday holding hands

[00:01:59] Slower every week with your breathing

[00:02:06] Until we had to drive

[00:02:14] But then only two months after you died

[00:02:21] Our counselor died

[00:02:28] All at once her empty office with no light on

[00:02:34] As if her work was done

[00:02:49] We are all always so close to not existing at all

[00:03:03] Except in the confusion of our survived bys grasping at the echoes

[00:03:18] Today our daughter asked me if mama swims

[00:03:31] I told her yes she does

[00:03:38] And that's probably all she does

[00:03:42] Now

[00:03:45] What was you is now born across waves

[00:03:56] Evaporating
