Rachel is a gilded volume Of holy scripture That I read over and over again Until I get the picture And keep upon my nightstand Next to my pen and tumbler But you, you are my swimming pool My wet and holy slumber Marc is like a pyre I think of in the morning When it's time to go to work And fear of work is dawning He's like a pure example A sacred shrine burning But you, you are my swimming pool You take in all the yearning You calm my heady thinkin' A water bed to sink in And rise out in the mornin' For the sun to drink in When I was a little girl I had a love for swimming And you, you are my swimming pool A well of love that's brimming Jessie is a river flowin' We never know where she's goin' But we're happy to join her Try to know what she's knowin' She weaves around those rocks and bends Keeps the world stirring But you, you are my swimming pool An island's reassuring You calm my heady thinkin' A water bed to sink in And rise out in the mornin' For the sun to drink in When I was a little girl I had a love for swimming And you, you are my swimming pool A well of love that's brimming A many layered triptych The world that I can live in But you, you are my swimming pool A world that I can swim in You, you are my swimming pool A world that I can swim in
