Great Lake Swimmers Follow

Is gravity the same for you?
Or have you fallen deeply too?
Into the light of a dream
Like unison falling into harmony

The only thing between us
Is a breath of air
A river of fear
A ship we can't steer

A curtain of rain
A layer of skin
A determined stare
A dare

Sweep across the floor
Like the wind through the islands
Step once, turn twice
And move like the curtains

I will try to know you
Though you defy my grasp
Your beauty is static
But steady and fast

Spin once and turn twice
And fall in with the band
In unison falling into harmony

I love the way that your lights come on
When you've been lit with some happy thought

So save up your tears
For the next time it rains
And flow across the floor
Like the unstoppable river

I will try to know you
Though you defy my grasp
Your beauty is gentle
But forceful and fast
