Girls Can Swim

from Fear of a Round Planet by Mercy Beach

/

about

A song about a mother singing a lullaby to her daughter. Even when her patience grows thin "sometimes the shore sure could use a break from the waves", the bond is still stronger than any imaginable outside force "Safe in my arms when you awake forever you’ll be from the waves. "

So, no matter what life throws at them or how fast the tides rise, these girls can swim.

lyrics

Now your bed has broken your fall like the tired waves break on the shore. And I think you’ve caused enough mischief for one day. Sometimes the shore sure could use a break from the waves.

Off to sleep, greet your dreams of the sugar beach and Soda Pop Sea. Crashing and churning this storm screams to me. Safe in my arms when you awake forever you’ll be from the waves.

You may sink but girls can swim. You may sink but girls can swim.

And I think you’ve caused enough mischief for one day. Sometimes the shore sure could use a break. Crashing and churning this storm screams to me. Safe in my arms when you awake forever you’ll be from the waves.
