lyrics

rest your cheek on my collar bone
hear the waves slap on the hull
fall asleep but don't let me go
fall asleep but don't let me go

the water's deep, black and cold
the ship is sturdy but the Captain is drunk
there's no going back, there's no going back
fall asleep but don't let me go

nobody said it'd be easy
to give up life on dry land
nobody said it'd be easy,
easy, steady as she goes

if I tell you a secret you already know
pronounce it in whisper in this warm fold
is it too much, is it too much
to jump in the water and swim like a stone

nobody said it'd be easy
to give up life on dry land
nobody said it'd be easy,
easy, steady as she goes

nobody said it'd be easy
to give up life on dry land
nobody said it'd be easy,
easy, steady as she goes

just before the morning's glow
I feel your breath break on the shore
don't say a word, don't say a word
fall asleep but don't let me go

The music itself is omnivorous in its source material, quite pretty, and downright haunting ... more

What's My Desire? (4-track EP)
by Sweet Soubrette

Lush horn and string arrangements interwoven with witty lyrics of upfront sensuality, delivered with sincerity, disguised as world weary aloofness. A beautiful pop EP. Kotorino
