Uma das minhas músicas favoritas:


Nightswimming - REM


Nightswimming
deserves a quiet night
The photograph on the dashboard,
taken years ago,
Turned around backwards
so the windshield shows
Every streetlight
reveals the picture in reverse
Still, it's so much clearer
I forgot my shirt at the water's edge
The moon is low tonight

Nightswimming
deserves a quiet night
I'm not sure all these people understand

It's not like years ago,
The fear of getting caught,
Of recklessness and water
They cannot see me naked
These things, they go away,
Replaced by everyday

Nightswimming,
remembering that night
September's coming soon
I'm pining for the moon
And what if there were two
Side by side in orbit
Around the fairest sun?
That bright, tight forever drum
Could not describe nightswimming

You, I thought I knew you
You, I cannot judgeYou,
I thought you knew me,
This one laughing quietly
underneath my breath
Nightswimming

The photograph reflects,
Every streetlight a reminder
Nightswimming
deserves a quiet night,
deserves a quiet night.
