[00:17.06] |
We salute at the threshold of the North Sea in my mind |
[00:20.81] |
And a nod to the boredom that drove me here to face the tide and swim. |
[00:26.29] |
|
[00:30.41] |
I swim. Oh, swim. |
[00:31.34] |
|
[00:39.79] |
Dip the toe in the ocean. Oh how it hardens and it numbs. |
[00:44.16] |
|
[00:46.17] |
The rest of me is a version of man, built to collapse into crumbs. |
[00:50.29] |
|
[00:51.67] |
And if I hadn't come down to the coast to disappear |
[00:55.54] |
|
[00:57.42] |
I may have died in a land-slide of the rocks, the hopes and fears. |
[01:02.98] |
So Swim until you can't see land. |
[01:06.04] |
Swim until you can't see land. |
[01:07.79] |
Swim until you can't see land. |
[01:08.33] |
|
[01:12.39] |
Are you a man or are you a bag of sand? |
[01:16.15] |
Swim until you can't see land. |
[01:18.08] |
Swim until you can't see land. |
[01:21.08] |
Swim until you can't see land. |
[01:24.14] |
Are you a man or are you a bag of sand? |
[01:27.53] |
|
[01:50.78] |
Up to my knees now, do I wait? Do I dive? |
[01:56.65] |
The sea has seen my like before though it's my first and perhaps last time. |
[02:01.09] |
|
[02:02.65] |
Let's call me a baptist, call this the drowning of the past. |
[02:06.34] |
|
[02:08.28] |
She's there on the shoreline throwing stones at my back. |
[02:12.54] |
|
[02:13.65] |
So Swim until you can't see land. |
[02:16.90] |
Swim until you can't see land. |
[02:19.59] |
Swim until you can't see land. |
[02:23.48] |
Are you a man or are you a bag of sand? |
[02:27.48] |
Swim until you can't see land. |
[02:29.98] |
Swim until you can't see land. |
[02:31.61] |
Swim until you can't see land. |
[02:35.24] |
Are you a man or are you a bag of sand? |
[02:38.92] |
Now the water's taller than me and the land is a marker line |
[02:42.70] |
|
[03:08.04] |
All I am is a body adrift in water, salt and sky. |
[03:12.60] |
So Swim until you can't see land. |
[03:16.28] |
Swim until you can't see land. |
[03:18.53] |
Swim until you can't see land. |
[03:21.66] |
|
[03:22.22] |
Are you a man or are you a bag of sand? |
[03:25.04] |
Swim until you can't see land. |
[03:27.04] |
Swim until you can't see land. |
[03:31.04] |
Swim until you can't see land. |
[03:33.85] |
Are you a man or are you a bag of sand? |
[03:37.29] |
So Swim until you can't see land. |
[03:39.53] |
