We  salute  at the threshold  of the North  Sea in my mind
And  the nautical board-man  that drove  me here  to face the tide  and
Swim I swim I swim
Dip  the toe  in the ocean. Oh  how it hardens  and it numbs
 And the rest  of me  is a burgeoned man built  to collapse into crumbs
 And if I  hadn't  come down to  the coast  to disappear
I  may have died  in a land-slide of  the rocks,  the hopes and fears.
 So swim  until you can't see land  |
Swim  until you can't see land  |
 | X2
 Swim until you can't see land |
 Are you  a man, are you a bag  of sand? |
Up  to my knees  now,  do I wait?  Do I dive?
The  sea has seen  my like  before though  it's my first  and perhaps last time.
Let's  call me  a baptist, call  this the drowning  of the past
She's there  on the shoreline throwing stones  at my back
 So swim  until you can't see land  |
Swim  until you can't see land  |
 | X2
 Swim until you can't see land |
 Are you  a man, are you a bag  of sand? |
 X2)
Now  the water's taller  than me  and the land  is a marker line
All  I am  is a body  adrift  in water,  salt and sky
 So swim  until you can't see land  |
Swim  until you can't see land  |
 | X2
 Swim until you can't see land |
 Are you  a man, are you a bag  of sand? |
 Are you  a man, are you a bag  of sand?
 Are you  a man, are you a bag  of sand?
 Are you  a man, are you a bag  of sand?
 Are you  a man, are you a bag  of sand?
