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.
like water
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.
words and music by Evelyn Downing and Jamie Field. arranged by Evelyn, Jamie and Andy.
