Swimming In The Blankets Lyrics

Swimming in the Blankets



 

When you reach for me 



in the wee hours of 



the morning



that is when i truly 



understand what the word 



"tenderness" means



Caught somewhere between 



consciousness and sleep



when you reach for me



you are so free



so vulnerable



i love swimming in the blankets with you



no time to analyze the situation



no time to think about the pros and cons



no contrivance



just understand what you want



what you need



you just want to be close to me



Want to feel the softness



the warmth



the intimacy



i love swimming in the blankets with you



my heart fills with JOY



when you reach for me



in the wee hours of the morning



SO spontaneously



so naturally



without thinking about the consequences



SO spontaneously



so naturally



without thinking about the consequences



because you feel safe with me



because you feel safe with me



soft kisses



tender caresses 



loving whispers



fiery emotions



caught somewhere between consciousness and sleep



in the wee hours of the morning



i love swimming in the blankets with you



on a crisp night



with the window slightly ajar



the curtains swaying ever so gently



the moonbeams reflecting



off the windowpane



in the still of the night



No noise to distract



No noise to stifle



what i feel in my heart



when you reach for me  



in the still of the night



Blankets fall to the floor as we embrace 



and express 



what is in our hearts



i love swimming in the blankets with you
