Wild Swimming

Come in, I've been waiting

I'd swim to your island

I'd swim there, I'd swim there for your love

Look, I know that you're a rover

Mother says don't go over there

He'll leave you, he'll leave you as all rovers do

But I do, I do, I like to go wild swimming

I comb my hair with the briars and the bushes

He is to me like wild swimming

He gives me rushes, he gives me rushes

He gives me rushes, mmm, rushes

I drag the chair over and bid him sit down

I'm gonna tell you all about how my heart you've won

I'm not a fool, I know I'll grieve

A rover always takes his leave

And on that day I'll write a song

I'll write it wide and I'll write it long

And I'll compare you to wild swimming

We run like wolves through the bushes

You are to me like wild swimming

You give me rushes, mmm, rushes

Give me rushes, mmm, rushes

Come in, I've been waiting

Come in, I've been waiting

I know that you're a rover

I know that you're a rover
