about

Written the morning of a tour to Noumea with Simmo. The night before I kissed my sweetheart for the first time. Swimming in the lagoon with Juddy watching the sea snakes check us out. Kayaking while flying fish chopped over the boards. Eating French food and dreaming about coming home to the sweet unknown.

In Noumea, the dogs really do fly off the roof tops, it's something else.

lyrics

I want to hold you like a Shiva
take an arrow from my quiver
protect you from yourself
protect you from yourself

I want to drink all the water that's touched you
anoint myself your lover
steal you away from any other
steal you away

I need all that sacred water
that's caressed your skin
so I can float in the overflow
overflow

I want to see you on the island
where the dogs fly from the roof tops
and the people are so gentle
you are so gentle

I need all that sacred water
that's caressed your skin
so I can float in the overflow
overflow

You're free to walk this world in peace
release is just a blink away

I want to drink all the water that's touched you
anoint myself your lover
steal you away from any other
steal you away
