David Gray - Deep Water Swim lyrics

With the weight of the skies Like a word to the wise And the thought that preyed With the road rising up And the fog in my cup As we cut to fade Go from ten down to nought All the things that we bought All the plans we made Oh man will you stop Talking, offering it up So sweetly It just ain't yours to give Less you own it completely Feel it sharp in my breast Coming over the crest Like the joys of spring Sense the one with no name Moving just out of frame On a gauzy wing Like a smile as it cracked Or a face in the act Of remembering Oh man will you stop Talking, offering it up So sweetly It just ain't yours to give Less you own it completely I wouldn't know I wouldn't Hold the truth like a stone Of the tree that was grown From a tiny stem As the note finds its mark Swallowed up by the arc Of a darkened limb It ain't nobody's fault That it's sere and it's salt Deep water swim Oh man will you stop Talking, offering it up So sweetly It just ain't yours to give Less you own it completely I wouldn't know I wouldn't I wouldn't know I wouldn't
