It feels so good
To breathe again
Come up for air
Watch out for the bends
I’ve been treading water
In shark infested seas
Waiting to be rescued
No ones saving me
I could swim to my island
Stay there and dream
I need some human interaction
Not just a face in a stream
Will You throw me a lifeline
Pull me to the shore
Beach me on a stony cove
Take the sun once more
The water gets so cold
I shiver to the bone
I’m looking back to see
You’re watching me swim home
Wrap your arms around me
Let the cotton dry my skin
I’m safe here with you mother
I’d forgotten who I am
