"Swimming" lyrics - PHIL MANZANERA

PHIL MANZANERA
"Swimming"

Let's go swimming
In our Hockney pool
Ten palms are swaying
The water's feeling warm

Sun light shimmers
Through a crystal lens
Dancing patterns flicker
Miro
On mosaic below

Walk to the lighthouse
Waves splashing down
Eyes on the horizon
Out from Cadiz town

Let's not waste this precious life
As time keeps slipping away

Let's not waste
This time

This time
It's you and me
From the start
Right on down
The line
This time
This time
It's you and me

Church bells are ringing
In Bathampton lane
Kingfishers flying
The clouds begin to rain

Stroll on the towpatch
Climb up to the town
Right around the circus
Where we gather up
What's lost and found

Back to the cottage
Sun streaming through
On and on together
In bluebell woods

Let's not waste this precious life
As time keeps slipping away

Let's not waste
This time

This time
It's you and me
From the start
And right on down
The line
This time
This time
It's you and me
This time
This time
It's you and me

This time
This time
It's you and me
