[Verse 1: Mimi Goese]
Where were you when I was lonesome?
Locked away with freezing cold
Someone flying only stolen
I can't tell this light so old

[Chorus: Mimi Goese]
I don't want to swim the ocean
I don't want to fight the tide
I don't want to swim forever
When it's cold I'd like to die

[Verse 2: Mimi Goese]
What was that my sweet sweet nothing?
I can't hear you through the fog
If I holler let me go
If I falter let me know

[Chorus: Mimi Goese]
I don't want to swim the ocean
I don't want to fight the tide
I don't want to swim forever
When it's cold I'd like to die
I don't want to swim the ocean
I don't want to fight the tide
I don't want to swim forever
When it's cold I'd like to die
[Outro: Mimi Goese]
I don't want to swim the ocean
I don't want to fight the tide
