about

There’s always this sort of creative re-evaluation period after you finish a project. After Open, A Home, singing felt like the next logical step towards being more free and genuine with my music. Colour of the Water is one of the first songs that came out of experimenting with my voice. It uses experience I had trekking over Lake Tekapo in New Zealand as a metaphor for seeing a relationship from a distance. The tides of two lakes represent two lovers - 'We’re blue and green in a crescent hold’ . I ended up asking my friend Ivy-Jane Browne to sing the second verse, and song became a sort of duet.

lyrics

Intro
We’re blue and green

Verse 1
Stayed a while
And I stayed there too
I don’t know how
You’re living, blue -

The colour of the water
Your (You’re) even tide (tied) right back
We’re blue and green in a crescent hold

Chorus 1
So lie for for me, you’re living I know it’s hard, it’s hard to love
Don’t hide from me

Verse 2
You stayed a while and I stayed there too
I don’t know if you see her shape
But I do

The colour of the water
You even tried to lack
The shore made from your wings, but I’m
Over you

Chorus 2
So lie for for me, you’re living
I know it’s hard, it’s hard to love
Don’t hide from me

Outro
I can see both lakes from up here
When did you start loving me?
I can see both lakes from up here
Why did you start loving me?

I can see both lakes from up here
When did you start loving me?
I can see both lakes from up here
Why did you start loving me?
