Great Lake Swimmers
Unison Falling Into Harmony
Is gravity the same for you
Or have you fallen deeply too
Into the light of a dream
Like unison falling into harmony
The only thing between us is a breath of air
A river of fear, a ship we can't steer
A curtain of rain, a layer of skin
A determined stare, a dare
Sweep across the floor
Like the wind through the islands
Step once, and turn twice
And move like the current
I will try to know you
Though you defy my grasp
Your beauty is static
But steady, and fast
Spin once, and turn twice, and fall in with abandoned
Unison falling into harmony
I love the way that your lights come on
When you've been lit with some happy thought
So save up your tears for the next time it rains
And flow across the floor
Like the unstoppable river
I will try to know you
Though you defy my grasp
Your beauty is gentle
But forceful, and fast
