Album: The Straits Of Gibraltar

A Love Like Water

i drink in your beauty and i bathe in your words
but that is not enough to satisfy the thirst
the desire the longing to be alone
for that is just the way that evolution goes

a love like water
seeping through my hands
a love like water
beyond my command

i know i shouldnt want you but theres something infectious in a smile
that keeps me wanting safe harbourage to anchor for a while
so i step into the cyclone of a love to plant myself the seed
in the hope it might mature in time to shelter me

from a love like water
seeping through my hands
a love like water
beyond my command

and as i build my home in the middle of the ocean
water mixes with my mortar
bricks they get swept away
taking all my foundations

a love like water
seeping through my hands
a love like water
beyond my command
