كلمات The Swimmer

You were born on a day of flood The pier was sunk and the water kept rising And all through the night your mother fought Then you swam out, never crying Oh, you the swimmer And I'm a bird in the sky You were born with your hands rough and With a heart that's clean and strong And I was born dying With a heart familiar with flying Oh, you the swimmer And I'm a bird in the sky And a bird may love a fish, but where will they live? You were born in a thunderstorm That struck the land, rolling from the ocean And I was born in October through The color and the cold, the Sun was shining Oh, you the swimmer And I'm a bird in the sky
