Lyrics

Swim Free

I left you at sea

Hoping you'd forgive me

I left you at sea

At sea

My feet needed to touch land

But you were made to swim free

Swim free

I left you at sea

Farewell my lovely

I left you at sea

Farewell my lovely

My lovely

I hope one day I'll see you again

When ships come calling

Ships come calling

I left you at sea

At sea

At sea

Farewell my lovely

I left you at sea

Oh At sea

Oh At sea

Farewell my lovely

I left you at sea

Hoping you'd forgive me

My feet needed to land on

But you were whim free

Swim free
