Swimming Hole
Words and music by Ray Boltz
Everybody would stare at him
But he would always be the first one in
Like he didn't know
It was always cold in the swimming hole
He'd come up and nothing would change
He'd hear them laugh
And calling him names
It was long ago
At the swimming hole
He was always different
That's why he became
A target for all their hatred and shame
Then one night on my TV screen
I saw his picture staring back at me
The reporter said
They found him dead
His body wrapped in a bloody sheet
The rope still tied to his hands and feet
Yes he died alone
Chorus
Lately I've had this dream at night
I see him standing in the bright sunlight
And I'm all alone
He watches me taking off my clothes
He watches me as I face the cold
Yes he's watching me
He is watching me
As Im diving in
