Lyrics

A woman is swimming over London
A fox turns up his face to see her pass
There are blackbirds in the sleeping streets
A pantry luminous with blossoms
It's the dream she always has
The dream she always has
The dream she always has
Where she's touching a cloud
The night is a tide she is pulled by
While a taxicab slumbers underneath
And a robin is a fish who sings from a treetop
Of coral below her
It's the dream she always has
The dream she always has
The dream she always has
Where she's dancing through air
Aerials point like signposts till the houses are gone
The houses are gone
And fields give way to a beach
Where the ocean is calling her name
Calling her name
It's the dream she always has
The dream she always has
The dream she always has
Where she's swimming over London
Swimming over London
Swimming over London
Swimming over London
Where she sings to the stars like a mermaid
And darkness is a murmur in her hair
