G            C    D5            G                       C   A | C  | D5 |
   Nightswimming      deserves     a quiet night.
    G                     C      D5  G                  C   A |
The photograph on the dashboard,    taken years ago,
    C                          D5
turned around backwards so the windshield shows.
G                 C      D5         G                   C   A |
Every streetlight   reveals the picture in reverse.
C                       D5
Still, it's so much clearer.
G                 C   D5        G
I forgot my shirt   at   the water's edge.
    C           A          C    |  D5  |
The moon is low   tonight.


{Play Rhy. Fig. 1}



G            C    D5            G
   Nightswimming      deserves     a quiet night.
    C                     D5                    G5
I'm not sure all these people understand.
     C            D5       G
It's not like years   ago,
    C          A            C     D5                 G5
The fear of getting caught,    of recklessness and water.
       C     D5      G
They cannot see me naked.
        C          A        C      D5                   G
These things, they go away,    replaced by everyday.

          C         G                      C  A |
Nightswimming.  Remembering that night.
     C                     D5         C                      C  D5 |
September's coming soon.          I'm pining for the moon.
    G                      C      A         C
And what if there were two   side   by side   in orbit
   D5                      G
around the fairest sun?
       C       D5       G                  C       A             C      | D5 |
That bright, tight forever drum could not describe   nightswimming.

G                     C       D5   G                     C   A |
You, I thought I knew   you.       You, I cannot judge.
C                       D5
You, I thought you knew    me.
              G           C   D5         G              C
This one laughing quietly     underneath   my breath.
A         C     |  D5  |
 Nightswimming.

    G                       C
The photograph reflects,
D5          G             C
every streetlight a reminder.
A           C        D5                 G   | C D5|
  Nightswimming deserves a quiet night,
G           C          A        C   |  D5  |
        deserves a quiet night.
