lyrics

(wind over an empty pool)
(ahh... ahh...)

They drained the pool the week you left
October did its slow, clean theft
The deep end's full of maple stars
Your goggles hanging off the bars
(sink, slowly)

I lie down on the painted line
Five feet, six feet, out of time
(down, down)

Come back slow
(come back slow)
Come back slow
The water's gone but I still float
Come back slow
I'm holding breath I won't let go
Come back slow
(slow... slow...)

Your towel's still on the chain-link fence
Gone stiff with frost, it makes no sense
I should bring it in, I know
But then the fence would let you go
(let go... don't)

Spring will fill it to the brim
Nobody swims the way you swim
(swam... swims)

Come back slow
(come back slow)
Come back slow
The water's gone but I still float
Come back slow
I'm holding breath I won't let go
Come back slow
(slow... slow...)

I dive in anyway sometimes
Eyes shut, arms out, landing fine
On leaves that sound like breaking tide
(hush... hush...)

Come back slow
Come back slow
Come back slow
Come back slow
(slow... slow...)

(ahh... ahh...)
Come back... slow...
(wind again)
