Swimming in Deep Pools

Sometimes I take myself down to the river When there's no one else to call And on those days I rearrange the rocks in the water And I dream of some control And even in my youth Time marching is a terrible truth Silent footsteps in tyrant boots Will it leave me alone to do All the things in my design Swimming in deep pools and kissing fine Women after midnight wine Guess I'm gonna need a little more time Sometimes I take myself out to the desert when there's no one else around And I breathe the indifferent desert air It's good to know there's a place that just don't care And even in my youth Time marching is a terrible truth Silent footsteps in tyrant boots Will it leave me alone to do All the things in my design Swimming in deep pools and kissing fine Women after midnight wine Guess I'm gonna need a little more time Tempus edax rerum And even in my youth Time marching is a terrible truth Silent footsteps in tyrant boots Will it leave me alone to do All the things in my design Swimming in deep pools and kissing fine Women after midnight wine Guess I'm gonna need a little more time
