Swing It Low Lyrics by Morphine

Like Swimming

1997

[Chorus]
I got buttons bursting in the air
I got apple orchards everywhere
I got grapes swinging from the vine
Swinging in a line, lined up in the sunshine

[Verse 1]
I'm on time, fresh, fast
A sweetheart, I'll watch your back
I'm all swing, a swing from the shoestrings
Right or wrong, to me it's the same thing

[Refrain]
You, especially, you, especially, you, especially
You have my loyalties

[Verse 2]
You in wartime, love, peace
I need to walk you down the street
I'm right here, I'll watch your back
In case the wind blows off your hat

[Bridge]
You - you're on time
Your eyes are like a diamond mine
Deep and bright inside

[Chorus]
I got buttons bursting in the air
I got apple orchards everywhere
I got grapes, swinging from the vine
Swinging in a line, lined up in the sunshine

Mmm, mmm, mmm

[Verse 3]
I got buttons bursting in the air
Ideas run fingers through my hair
And my shoes are ready to move
My shoes are ready to move...

[Outro]
Swing it low, swing it low, swing it low low low
Swing it low, swing it low, swing it low low low...
Mhmm, mhmm (swing it low)
