Learn to Swim - Tompa

Driftin' away from the shore, into the open sea I'll sleep on the ocean tonight, with the moon at my feet Carving your name with my head, in the black oak tree Eh eh eh eheh Oh oh oh ohoh A king without kingdom or throne Now where'd it go Conquering islands of hope all alone Eyes wide open and shutting them closed All you see is your ghost Oh oh oh ohoh Grows by the size of the rain Coming back again Ongoing memories fade Old pictures remain Speak slowly to me my dear And I'll swim to you To you Oh oh oh ohoh To you Oh oh oh ohoh

It's just another day in paradise As you stumble to your bed You'd give anything to silence Those voices ringing in your head You thought you could find happiness Just over that green hill You thought you would be satisfied But you never will- Learn to be still We are like sheep without a shepherd We don't know how to be alone So we wander 'round this desert And wind up following the wrong gods home But the flock cries out for another And they keep answering that bell And one more starry-eyed messiah Meets a violent farewell- Learn to be still Learn to be still Now the flowers in your garden They don't smell so sweet Maybe you've forgotten The heaven lying at your feet There are so many contridictions In all these messages we send (We keep asking) How do I get out of here Where do I fit in? Though the world is torn and shaken Even if your heart is breakin' It's waiting for you to awaken And someday you will- Learn to be still Learn to be still You just keep on runnin' Keep on runnin'
