Water by Slim (Trip-hop) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Six in the evening
The fire is leaving
The heat of the day
The city relaxes
The cars and the taxis
Are slowing their pace
Sitting in the park as
It starts to get dark
I'm looking at the lights through the trees
And this could be the country
Where I could be happy
Do whatever I please
The sounds in the distance
Are slow and persistent
They just carry me away
The rhythm moves in line
Gets under your skin
Starts to live inside your space

[Verse 2]
Heading for the street now
And asking myself how
I found myself here
A perpetual motion
Has taken me over
Rowing through the warm evening air
Like living in a desert
I'm thirsty and loveless
Is that a [?] on the ground?
I need to find water
And drink it in the heart of
This cruel summer town
The siren is singing
And everybody's moving
Got to be on my way
I'm hearing many voices
But never understand
The things they say
[Interlude]
I need to find water

[Verse 3]
I feel a little shiver
Walking by the river
With no-one around
And it makes me wonder
If it's pulling me under
And holding me down
Moon is rising
I stand here deciding
Which way I should go
I push against the tide or
Just let myself ride
With the ebb and the flow
People taking chances
Drinking and dancing
They're trying to forget all they know
Then wake up by the dawn at
Six in the morning
Tomorrow

[Outro]
I need to find water
I need to find water
I need to find water
I need to find water
