lyrics

when the swamp dreams of you
you know you got somethin',
and even as you sink
it's a tender glide down
so you waltz with the swamp,
with its catfish and secrets,
till its fever,
fever breaks down
in ¾ time,
to the magical brine
you sweetly surrender,
and don't mind
that the water will forget you
in ¾ time,
¾ time

¾ time,
our time,
keep right on waltzing
in the mystical brine
in ¾ time,
our time

let go, let go, let go, let go-
feel your body flow
let go, let go, let go, let go-
feel your body flow

in ¾ time

the swamp likes to dream
in blue grey and green,
the full moon and mangroves
can't taste its tears,
and you cannot resist
the lure of its rhythm
holding you closest,
as the song nearly ends,
stirs from the dream now
-stirs you in calm waves,
letting your dream begin -
final embrace

beautiful surrender,
water receives you -

in ¾ time
¾ time,
our time
keep right on waltzing
in mystical brine
¾ time,
our time,
let go, let go, let go, let go -
feel your body flow

sink so sweet, go
toe-to-sweet under toe
in ¾ time
