waltz on water demo

waltz demo

I wrote this a few years back. It’s A’s fave. She helped me come up with the first line in the lyrics so I always think of her when I sing it - I like that.

This demo is a quickie I threw together since I’ve never recorded it before. I haven’t even messed with the EQ (sorry). The vocal harmonies are for the birds and I really need to get my hands on a mic pre-amp. I’d love to hear some female vox and other strings on this - maybe even sans guitar??? I’m probably going to come back to this to add some keys and clean up the recording…

waltz on the water - lyrics

Head for the high ground
It’s a busy season
We called it up by a name
We gave her a reason

We’ve stolen we’ve bribed
And we’re all
Guilty of treason

It’s a deep Hell for us
We’ll serve our time
Forever and ever and ever and ever

So come dance with me my
Accomplice-Lover
We’ll waltz on the water
And we’ll dance through the storm
Holding each other

We’ve waltzed on this lake before
And we’ve danced these steps before
When we lost our minds
Together…
Forever.

These storms and wars
That we can’t afford
We’ve built the walls
And we’ve locked our doors
From our storms and wars
