| The currents want to pull you down | |
| The bottom is empty, invisible | |
| Where is the shore | |
| Oh I can't see it anymore | |
| Feeling so tired, have to keep floating | |
| The bottom is so far away | |
| The shore is so far away | |
| The finish line is out of sight | |
| I won't give up without a fight | |
| It's such a long swim | |
| The waves are coming at full force | |
| And even though I thrash about | |
| It only makes it worse | |
| I only get more tired | |
| Have I gotten out so far | |
| I don't know where the boat docks are | |
| And the moon just laughs at me | |
| A sickle in a cotton veil | |
| Will I make it through this gale | |
| It's such a long swim | |
| It's such a long swim, it's such a long swim | |
| It's such a long swim, it's such a long swim | |
| I was standing on a pier | |
| Was it very far from here | |
| Nothing but the water sounds | |
| And if I had it in a glass | |
| I could drink it down and laugh | |
| I would laugh and drink it down | |
| The water is so pure tonight | |
| It brings you life yet makes you drown | |
| The fish must be laughing | |
| I have seen the boats of steel | |
| I have used a fishing reel | |
| I am bobbing like a cork | |
| In this never-ending dark | |
| I am soaked from toe to chin | |
| I will not let the water in | |
| Is there any use at all | |
| To fight against this heavy tide | |
| Will it take me in its stride | |
| It's such a long swim | |
| It's such a long swim, it's such a long swim | |
| I was sitting in the sand | |
| Waves were tumbling with the wind | |
| They pulled him out | |
| They pulled him in | |
| The stretcher brought him back again | |
| The sirens let the swimmers know | |
| Not to wrestle undertoes | |
| It's such a long swim | |
| And now there is no sign of land | |
| The breakers are behind me now | |
| Splashing in a hopeless flow | |
| Far above the muddy sand | |
| Will I dry off on the rocks | |
| Will I ever see the docks | |
| The beacons must have all burnt out | |
| I am flooded with this doubt | |
| It's such a long swim | |
| It's such a long swim, it's such a long swim | |
| It's such a long swim, it's such a long swim | |
| It's such a long swim, it's such a long swim | |
| It's such a long swim, it's such a long swim |
