Take Me To The River (Acoustic Demo) (Prev. Unreleased​)​)

from Aquatorium (Demos and Rare Tracks) (Remastered) by Elegant Simplicity

about

Before Elegant Simplicity came along, I was in a band called '54th Parallel’. We played a lot of the songs that found their way onto the 'Nature Of Change’ CD. This was one of them.

However, this version is the original acoustic demo and is a world away from the officially released version. It has a lot of charm and I like it a lot.

Recorded October 1994.

lyrics

I feel the night drawing in
The day’s coming to a close
And she just can’t face the morning
Without someone there she knows

And it’s getting so I can’t
Seem to sleep any more
Without you by my side
Looking for the door

And as soon as the dawn breaks
As soon as she wakes
I will stop staring at her
That’s the difference that she makes

It’s only been a short while
But it feels just like a life
How can I make my feelings known
When my tongue is forever tied

How soon the night has crept in
As quickly as the rain
Despite all my misgivings
I must shoulder all the blame

Ain’t it strange how things work out
Ain’t it strange about me
Take me to the river girl
And wash me to the sea
Wash me to the sea
Wash me to the sea
