Lyrics
The pool is closed to everyone but me One light under water, turquoise and free Lane four is a ribbon that unwinds Slow strokes, slow breath, no one to find Sound goes soft beneath the skin of blue The whole wide world is held in something new Float, float, the water holds you up Nothing to carry, nothing in your cup Lane by lane the quiet pulls you through Float, float, the night is made of blue The ceiling ripples with a rolling glow The clock on the wall is ticking very slow My worries stay behind with my shoes Nothing down here has the heart to lose Sound goes soft beneath the skin of blue The whole wide world is held in something new Float, float, the water holds you up Nothing to carry, nothing in your cup Lane by lane the quiet pulls you through Float, float, the night is made of blue Turn at the wall and push off slow Light on your fingers, a gentle undertow Rain on the skylight, a faraway drum Lying on my back till the morning comes Float, float, the water holds you up Nothing to carry, nothing in your cup Lane by lane the quiet pulls you through Float, float, the night is made of blue Float The night is made of blue Float
