Swimming in ’99

I envy you

I always have

You easy confidence

And steady path

I wish I loved you

With seven hearts

So I could pass the days

We're apart

How can it go

Like a fire in the night?

Out on its own

That heavenly light

It gets cold

We went swimming once

In '99

You lost your glasses

In the water

You were blind

I see it now

In memory

Unshy and full of grace

As you come from the sea

How can it go

Like a fire in the night?

Out on its own

That heavenly light

It gets cold

You will recover

You will recover

Oh

You know you'll recover

All your lost time

I envy you

I always will

And I can tell there's something in me for you still

So I'll follow you

And you follow me

And maybe someday

You and I

Will get to see

How can it go

Like a fire in the night?

Out on its own

That heavenly light

It gets cold
