"When I'm Swimming" lyrics

"When I'm Swimming"

When I'm swimming
When I'm swimming
When I'm diving
When I'm floating

The night is so warm and the sea is so black
I wade from the shore 'til it reaches my neck
Lifting my feet I'm afloat on my back
And I'm swimming
I'm swimming

Mosquitoes are flocking above my head
The stars are so bright and the blood is so red
When I'm swimming

When I am swimming I think of Fred Neil and the dolphins
And how he gave in to spend time with his friends
In a place where the summer never ends
And the summer never ends
And the summer never ends

When I'm swimming
When I'm swimming
When I'm diving
