Had some problems with the third verse and I'm not definitely finished with the last line of the chorus, but here you go : -
"Swimming in the Rain
You stirred the coals to start a spark,
Found an ember in the dark,
You tore it from its bed of ash
clutched it in your hands and asked.
If I remembered swimming in the rain?
It's burning still
It's burning still
It glows and burns and sears at will
In these end of December, dismal days
I couldn't love you more, I said
Knowing where the question led
And staring at the ceiling lest
Your eyes caught mine and somehow guessed
I well remembered swimming in the rain.
A day so hot, it hurt the eyes
The lake so cold that, no surprise,
We ended in the water - in the buff
One sight of your body was enough.
Yes, I remembered swimming in the rain.
You said that we were all alone
A little drunk and far from home
And I could warm you through, you said
And no-one else would know, you said,
That we remembered swimming in the rain.
But just like then, the weather's turned
Doused the hearth where the coals had burned,
Where once my fire had raged in you,
I take a straight and narrow route,
Though I remember swimming in the rain,
You stirred the coals to start a spark,
Found an ember in the dark,
But now I simply turn away,
And thank you for a lovely day,
Yes, I remember swimming in the rain."
