Lyrics Swimming - Phil Manzanera

Swimming

Let’s go swimming
In our Hockney pool
Ten palms are swaying
The water’s feeling warm
Sun light shimmers
Through a crystal lens
Dancing patterns flicker
Miro
On mosaic below
Walk to the lighthouse
Waves splashing down
Eyes on the horizon
Out from Cadiz town
Let’s not waste this precious life
As time keeps slipping away
Let’s not waste
This time
This time
It’s you and me
From the start
Right on down
The line
This time
This time
It’s you and me
Church bells are ringing
In Bathampton lane
Kingfishers flying
The clouds begin to rain
Stroll on the towpatch
Climb up to the town
Right around the circus
Where we gather up
What’s lost and found
Back to the cottage
Sun streaming through
On and on together
In bluebell woods
Let’s not waste this precious life
As time keeps slipping away
Let’s not waste
This time
This time
It’s you and me
From the start
And right on down
The line
This time
This time
It’s you and me
This time
This time
It’s you and me
This time
This time
It’s you and me
