about

Like Water considers a theme we’ve explored before in Heart Sings (a track on the Shine ep) - that of heat and lust. The initial idea was Jamie’s based on the guitar part, but most of the lyrics came from Evelyn who also wrote the melody for the chorus. As is usually the case, the production work is largely down to Andy.

lyrics

Now the sun beats down
The heat turns me crazy
Theres no-one else around
No-one here to save me
You’re the devil on my shoulder
I crave your lips like water...

I’m reminded what love can be by the suggestion in your eyes
But I should have known better, should have seen through your disguise
And here we can do anything beneath the desert sun
And the devil on my shoulder is whispering go on

So take my hand, lead me on
Leaving shadows in the sand
Wind-blown on a course we hadn’t planned
So hand in hand, you lead me on
While our shadows are growing long
The wind covers over our tracks in the sand,
And we’re lost in this land.

All these days and nights,
My guardian angel lost from sight
You’re the devil on my shoulder
I crave your lips like water...

Remember love is protective, it comes in no disguise
Lust is a predator, blinding you with lies.
You say we can do anything beneath the desert sun
You’re the devil on my shoulder and you whisper go on.

So take my hand, lead me on
Leaving shadows in the sand
Wind-blown on a course we hadn’t planned
So hand in hand, you lead me on
While our shadows are growing long
The wind covers over our tracks in the sand,
And we’re lost in this land.
