[Verse 1]
For Richard Swift, for John and Bill
For every gift lifted far before its will
Judee and Smith, for Berman too
I've met the myth hanging heavy over you

[Verse 2]
I loved you long, you rose to go
Beneath your songs, perfect angels in the snow
So time to stage, forget reserve
The type of great coronation you deserve

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm going out for a weekend
I'm gonna borrow a Martin or Gibson
With Either/Or and The Hex for my Bookends
Carrying every text that you've given

[Chorus]
I'm gonna swim for a week in
Warm American Watеr with dear friends
Swimming high on a lea in an Edеn
Running all of the leads you've been leaving

[Verse 3]
I'm overmatched, I'm half as wise
If this is flat, brother, I apologize
No one alone can leave the cave
And all you've loaned won't be kept inside the grave
[Chorus]
I'm gonna swim for a week in
Warm American Water with dear friends
Just intending that I would delight them
Swimming high on a lea in an Eden

[Break]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

[Refrain]
So I dream, dream
So I dream, dream

[Chorus]
I'm gonna swim for a week in
Warm American Water with dear friends
Swimming high on a lea in an Eden
Follow all of the leads you've been leaving

[Outro]
And in your rarified air I feel sunblind
I'm looking up at you there high in my mind
Only way that I made it for a long time
But I'm loud and alive, singing you all night, night
