Don't shed a tear I know you don't want to be here anymore Neither do I Neither do I Everything's alright We'll just write another line The Midwest has got its own charms Got its own charms Don't swim in that water tonight The bugs are starting to bite And it's so late It's so late
Don't let it fall I can taste the salt on your cheek It's just like the sea, but not as deep You can catch them all One by one they make their way towards the ground But I can't see my way around Don't swim in that water tonight The bugs are starting to bite And it's so late It's so late
