lyrics

we swam out past the waves
long distance swimmers in the night
our better judgement cast away
no coast in sight

the sky ahead grew dark
the lights were off in a baseball park
we thought we’d only go so far
well here we are

sun blind
wind blown
long distance swimmers
swim alone
in the freezing sea
and far from home
long distance swimmers
swim alone

we heard the home crowd cheer for more
when they saw the hometown hitter score
the summer night was hot and nothing stirred the trees
but for just a little while life's a breeze

then the forecast from the weather girl
whose prediction should have been
so predictable

sun blind
wind blown
long distance swimmers
swim alone
in the freezing sea
and far from home
long distance swimmers
swim alone

when branches shake the dead leaves fall
we rehearsed each night for the curtain call
a better offer took the baritone away
made the opera a one woman play

the diamond lay beneath a foot of snow
no one cared so they cancelled the show
the midnight static and the tv glow
oh i should have known

sun blind
wind blown
long distance swimmers
swim alone
in the freezing sea
and far from home
long distance swimmers
swim alone
