I Sing I Swim

Intro: C G Am F

C          G
When the birds are sleeping
Am                    F
That's when the trees sing
C               G
You left your winter clothes,
          Am                 F
And your teeth marks in my skin


C                     G
So shake the leaves, off the trees,
Am                F
Watch them float down the stream
C                 G
Your son, your daughter
Am                F
Swimming in the water

 C G Am F

C            G        Am            F
And I miss you, even when you're around
C             G
I'm a black cloud,
           Am              F
Sending lightning to the ground


C                 G             Am
So darling please, show your teeth
                F                 C
Just one more dance to help me sleep
        G
Whirl, cold water eyes
Am                    F
Fill the past with friendly nights
C            G
Human skin, can be hard to live in

 Am               F              C
You'll feel better in the morning
G            Am             F       C
Wash your hands in the lake
G              Am
You've got a heart, some way

*Repeat for other verses*


Trails lost in the snow
Make way for winter's eerie glow
And that black rock in your bedroom
I hope you'll climb it soon
In your boat, tied to a tree
I hope you'll find the sea



Throw me a dream please, it's been a dreamless sleep
For such a long time, such a long time
Sing myself awake
Watch the branches break
No one could ever take your place
