Tania Doko is my favourite female vocalist... to write and record with her was a dream come true!

lyrics

We had it all this time, even in the darker moments
It’s a sure fine line from the beautiful to broken
You get inside my mind, better or for worse
We know it’s working, between the hurting

In every garden there’s a flower that needs water
And if a flower’s gonna grow you gotta give it time
Though I know the grass looks greener, when I’m on your side
Sometimes you need water, sometimes you need wine

So baby be the water and I’ll be the wine
And as the seasons change, you’re the now in my emotions
We live inside the flame, we battle scars and the burdens
It’s common ground we need
We keep chasing rainbows cause we’re certain
It’s worth the searching

In every garden there’s a flower that needs water
And if a flower’s gonna grow you gotta give it time
Though I know the grass looks greener, when I’m on your side
Sometimes you need water, sometimes you need wine

Come rain or shine
Deep down deep deep in the water
We come alive
Come rain or shine
Every day we get a little bit older
There’s nothing to fight

It’s precious time
And everyday we get a little bit older
I’ll be your water, you be the wine

In every garden there’s a flower that needs water
And if a flower’s gonna grow, you gotta give it time
Though I know the grass looks greener,
when I’m on your side
Sometimes you need water, sometimes you need wine
Baby be the water, I’ll be the wine

I love this album. I didn't grow up in West Cumbria but I feel closer to its places and its people through these songs. " How can I possibly love you when I feel so alone " is one of the most devastatingly melancholy lines I've ever heard. Thank you for your music Francis Dunnery ewanpaulscarlett
