Lyrics

FINAL SWIM
Music and Lyrics by Chris Koch

Sun's gone down... left us here alone... with our questions
Light's leaked out... leaving only doubt... and dark suggestions
Resistance fails... the will to fight fades... dim
Deep and silent... soft and cool... final swim

The weight of life... it isn't shared... in equal measure
Some arrive... too soon depart... and know no pleasure
All life began... in oceans green... a planet's womb
And may end... as water can... become a tomb

Lyrics Chris Koch Music Chris Koch
