To get the bats out of the caves and into the trees,
I’ll teach them to swim by letting them drown me.
I watch the stars shoot and fall,
and gather up wishes and let you wish them all,
kneeling like a rainbow at the mountain’s step
at a distance no lover has ever kept
the beauty contest collapsed into flame
the eagle-eyed cupid without the patience to aim.
There’s no swimming with the drowned.
It’s only lost if it’s hoping to be found.
And I got no hope.
Save your goldilocks; don’t make me no rope.
Save your goldilocks; don’t make me no rope.
Save your goldilocks; don’t make me no rope.
Let me go.
Let me go.
Let me go.
Let me go.
Let me go.
I remember this old secret swimming hole
in Iowa City by the res where we’d all go,
and I went there one night with tall Kelly Jo,
entwined in the lightning, sure we’d never grow old…
And I remember this parking garage in the downtown there
I went with married Anne when no one was around to care,
and she said she was jealous I was moving in a couple of days,
so I should kiss her just once and then go forever away.
There’s no swimming with the drowned.
It’s only lost if it’s hoping to be found.
And I got no hope.
Save your goldilocks; don’t make me no rope.
Save your goldilocks; don’t make me no rope.
Save your goldilocks; don’t make me no rope.
