yeah take me to the edge of your water
and baby clean all my sins
and let that good loving spirit in
bathe me in your water

i wanna swim in your sea
and take a deep dive inside your remedy

yeah take me to your bushes and your brambles
and wipe that dirt from my eyes

yeah take me to the edge of your water
and baby clean all my sins
and let that good loving spirit in

please tell me your goodbyes
please tell me all your lies
please i'll let you make me cry
let's stay tender and clear
tender when you're near
please open up your eyes
please let me look inside
please i'll let you read my mind
let's stay tender and clear
tender when you're near
there are sailors out at sea
there are cowboys under a tree
there are priests who are praying on their knees
they're all tender and clear
oh i feel tender when you're near
tender and clear
tender when you're near

you call out to me
you tell me that you want me on the line
you make good use of me
but only when we're laying side by side
but i can't do this anymore
how do i find what i'm looking for
i can't do this anymore
how do i find what i'm looking for
yeah you've always been vague
i've never known such a prisoned mind
what do you want from me
and is it something that you think you'll find
cause i can't do this anymore
how do i find what i'm looking for
i can't do this anymore
how do i find what i'm looking for
you always make your way back to me
and i'll always make my way back to you
but it's something that i won't do
it's something that i cant do
just crawl back to you
cause i can't do this anymore
how do i find what i'm looking for
i can't do this anymore
how do i find what i'm looking for
how do i find what i'm looking for
how do i find what i'm looking for

where did you go last night
where did you go last night
where did you go nobody knows
do you
you didn't say goodbye
you didn't tell me why
but you came back in the morning
i woke up to you yawning
i cried
where did you go
where did you go
cause you were still in the room
but your colour turned blue
i have to know where d'you go
baby you know you can tell me
do you not feel free
oh please don't travel alone
in your mind can i roam
let me
i really missed you so
i lay there wondering why did he suddenly go
waiting for you to come back
to return with no scratches
untouched
where did you go
where did you go
cause you were still in the room
but your colour turned blue
i have to know where d'you go
where did you go last night my love
where did you go last night my love
i am so glad you've returned
there's so much left to learn about you

i'm thinking of leaving you
don't tell me it's just cause i'm blue
it's cause i'm feeling alive yeah my bloods running through
but isn't this just what i'd do
some men call women mad
if their daddy did leave then they're sad
but the crazier ones are the best you've had
and i wanna feel free
cause i go on
i go on
yeah my river runs wide
i'll sing you my songs and you'll come inside
i wish that you made me feel safe
but sometimes i feel so afraid
i wanna run wild and i wanna run brave
you want me to misbehave
some men call women crazy
an excuse that i think is just lazy
cause i am too scarred to be called a baby
yeah i wanna feel free
cause i go on
i go on
yeah my river can be wild
but i'll sing you my songs make you feel like a child
i still often dream of a partner
a life filled with romance and laughter
life can be painful but we can cry after
yeah we just wanna feel free
cause we go on
we go on
yeah our river runs deep
let's swim together and each other we'll keep

This Too Shall Pass

well i thought that i was happy but i think i am quite sad
trying to focus on the good so i don't sink in the bad
but my boat can't stay afloat even with a drink in my hand
i thought that i was happy but i think i am quite sad
i thought that i was alright but maybe i am not
i used to stay out late with friends and drink till i forgot
that maybe i'm still trying to clear out all the rot
i thought that i was alright but maybe i am not
i really thought my smiles were something to rely on
ain't it better to smile with men than need their shoulders to cry on
but now i'm walking home alone trying to let bygones be bygones
i really thought my smiles were something to rely on
now you see i am still healing it's not been that long
i'm still licking my wounds until they are gone
because wounds turn into scars yes and scares turn in to songs
i am still healing it's not been that long
please don't turn away
please try and make me change my mind and stay
if i'm the treasure under the ground
become a detectorist and i'll be the best treasure you ever found
now my mumma always told me this too shall pass
the art of letting go of the present and the past
the art of taking a deep breath yes it can seem like quite a task
if you should forget that this too shall pass
yes this too shall pass
this sadness ain't gonna last
it'll go it will come back but i'm alright with that

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last!
