Testo: Steve Towson. Shah Mat. 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 shouldn't want you but there's 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
