about

(Kom / Sharratt / Nicoll)

lyrics

Last night I had a dream
Fires gleamed like tiny diamonds
Smoke rising from the cities
A smudge on the horizon

In a relic from a park
Shaped like a swimming swan
We sailed away, we sailed away
Just like an old Enya song

Our feet on the pedals
Our fingers trailing through the blue
I was sailing on a swan boat with you

To starboard there were stars
And port we had enough of
Small waves broke on the wings
Persistent and percussive

Just beneath the waves
We heard sea monkeys calling
Phosphorescent squid
Neon Venetian dolphins

Our feet on the pedals
Our fingers trailing through the blue
I was sailing on a swan boat with you

I woke up to the creaking pedals
And saw it all was true
I’m sailing on a swan boat with you
