Mauve Prudence - SWIM Lyrics

Someone who isn't me
Listened very closely
To the donkey on back
Like she heard a ghost sing
Concerned she stepped off track
And got off her elephant
Only to find herself
More lost than she was before

And swims
Just swims
Swim
Just swim

Yes you are powerful - a powerful angel
It's hardly fair to say so - you wouldn't even face me
I held you in my hands - I tried to make you let go
And raised you as if my own - but you're the one that made me

So move through the forest
And move through the atmosphere
Monkey you were my friend
But now it's time to disappear

And swim

Of course
Sometimes we get off course
Sometimes we get off course
Of course

When an obstacle is in the way
But that's the way we navigate

Don't get too shy
To whisper for the spirits
To come and aid you
Come and aid you

Top down
Broken up
And I'm going for it

Come sit beside the creek
And see yourself in silence
Look for that hidden gift
Deep inside you'll find it - I swear to god it's in you

Donkey will bury
What monkey says is scary
But the person you've become
Knows to keep on digging away

And just swim

Of course
Sometimes we get off course
Of course

When the opposition's in the way
But that's the way we navigate - hands on the wheel

Don't get too shy
To whisper for the spirits
To come and aid you
Come on don't be afraid, yea
