My Daughter Teaches Her Husband to Swim

She shows him how to kick his feet
How to breathe and how to tread
He say he always sinks just like a stone…
Maybe, but love is lighter than bone
Yeah, true love is lighter than bone.
The moon she’s watching from up above
Until the wind and the clouds start to push and shove,
Start to push and shove
Every dark night is brighter with love
Even the darkest night is brighter with love
This man, he has this daughter
She fell in love and he gained a son
Together, they navigate these unknown waters
I call this man the lucky one
The lesson ends with a trip to the deep end
They hold hands like the closest of best friends
Part steadying, and part romance
Just like a very first dance…
Pardon me, may I have this dance?
This man, he has this daughter
She fell in love and he gained a son
Together, they navigate these unknown waters
I call this man the lucky one.
Sometimes, you need the stone,
To hold you true, keep you steady,
To mark what’s «home»
To mark what’s «home»
Sometimes the river, she’ll silt it in…
Keep that stone from rollin again.
My wife slips in next to me
Whispers ever so quietly…
Warm, like a day full of song,
Familiar as our love is long,
Familiar 'cause love is strong…
These two, they have this daughter
Who fell in love and they gained a son
Time runs by like rapid water
Carrying along all us lucky ones.
True love is lighter than bone,
And love lights the night like a rising sun.
