The Innocence Mission - When Mac was Swimming
intro, instrumentals, and chorus:
VERSE:
When Mac was swimming
I was running late
Walking around New Orleans
Looking for a birthday cake
It was a great surprise to him
So many people came
CHORUS:
Nobody knows, darling
Nobody knows how they are loved
Don't worry, my darling
The sun's coming up
SHORT INSTRUMENTAL PART:
Let's get up early now
Dive clear into the day
Let's get out of the car with open arms
Not wait to be embraced
The flowers that grew, the things that
happened since the day you came.
INSTRUMENTAL (w/ piano)
CHORUS x2 (piano tinkering in background)
la da da da da da da ah ah
INSTRUMENTAL till end
