The Fish Are Swimming Slower Every Year - Raymond & Maria

Sleep my darling don't you worry

I have to go now, I'm in a hurry

And yes there's a message from your father

everything was alright no need to bother

But I must go because the beauty of the stars

cannot be seen from inside cars

and they say fish are swimming slower every year

And all around us there are people feeling ill

but there's no pain here left to kill

that's why I know I won't be coming home tonight

I saw a picture of us kissing

we have a house now, where nothing's missing

And yes you were right about the weather

snow is falling, sofa of leather

But I must go because the beauty of the stars

cannot be seen from inside cars

and they say fish are swimming slower every year

And when I look around the only thing a see

is people looking just like me

that's why I know I won't be coming home tonight

And when I smiled at you and said "I loved you too"

I really meant it, it was true

But the fish are swimming slower every year

And all around us there are people feeling ill

but there's no pain here left to kill

that's why I know I won't be coming home tonight

Sleep my darling don't you worry

I have to go now, I'm in a hurry

I have to go because the beauty of the stars

Cannot be seen from inside cars

And they say fish are swimming slower every year

And all these people reading travel magazines

holding their breath in too tight jeans

while the fish are swimming slower every year

And I know I have to open up this doors

because I'm aware there must be more

and the fish are swimming slower every year

I have to go because the beauty of the stars

Cannot be seen from inside cars

And they say fish are swimming slower every year

And when I smiled at you and said "I loved you too"

I really meant it, it was true

But the fish are swimming slower every year
