But that shouldn't be a reason for it to be discounted. Many of her lyrics don't make sense!

Blue water...
Sit and I wait
For the morning to come,
Blue water...
And I wait for the sound
Of my gypsy...
Blue water
I sit out each night,
Hidden out of sight
Blue water...
Blue water
And I stare at the sea...
And the sea smiles for me
And the sea is as blue, baby...
As your lover

I can't give up a night
I'm in high tide...
I'd like to sail the sea
I'd like to take you on a slow ride...
I won't give up a night
High tide...
I like to stare at the sea...
I'd like to take you on a...
Slow ride...
Slow ride...
Slow ride

Blue water
I sit and I wait...
For the morning to come,
Blue water...
And I wait for the sound...
Blue water
I sit out each night,
Hidden out of sight...
Blue water
And I wait for the sound
Wait for the sound...
And I smile at the sea
And the sea smiles for me
And the sea is as blue, baby...
As your lover

I can't give up a night
I'm in high tide
Well, I like to stare at the sea
I'd like to take you on a...
Slow ride...
Slow ride

I won't give up a night
I'm in high tide
I'd like to be your friend
I'd like to love you till the end
Till the end...

Blue water
I sit and I wait
For the morning to come,
Blue water
And I wait for the sound
Of my gypsy...
Blue water
I sit out each night,
Hidden out of sight
Blue water...
Blue water

And I smile at the sea...
And the sea smiles for me
And the sea is as blue, baby...
As your lover
Love...

I can't give up a night
I'm in high tide
I'd love to sail the sea...
I'd love to take you on a slow ride

I can't give up a night...
I'm in high tide
I'd like to stay your friend
I'd like to love you till the end

Blue water...
I sit and I wait
For the morning to come

Bellaillume, not to be rude or anything (cause I appreciate you posting the lyrics), but you obviously didn't read my initial post.

The lyric is not "I sit out each night" - most websites that have the lyrics posted for this song have made this mistake.

I think it is "I sit, not in flight/hidden out of sight" which does make grammatical sense - as long as it has a comma in there.
I mean, it wouldn't be the best sentence she's ever written, but...

My appologies...I just quick posted the lyrics...then went back this morning and listened to a 'clean copy' of Blue Water...Maxd9 got it right...sounds like she's saying "I sit not in flight, hidden out of sight..."

Whatever that means...we love you Stevie

According to the "24KG" liner notes, the lyric is...

"I sit not in flight...hidden, not in sight...blue water..."

Mystery solved!!!

Sorcerer999, you've said that you've been most excited about this song - what are your thoughts now after several listens?

I've likewise been psyched about this song, but wondered how hard it would be to beat the demo. Does the released version still have layered vocals, even with our friend from LA?

Ironically, it's one of my least favorite tracks on the record. Not to say that it's bad or anything. They just went off in a direction with it that was very unexpected. It's very "road weary, country dirge" esque. Reminds me A LOT of that Huey Lewis/Gwenyth Paltrow song "Crusin' Together" from Duets.

Not really a favorite of mine...but there are many other AMAZING songs off this record that make up for it!

Thanks for your thoughts! So strange (although, embarrassingly, I DO kind of like Cruisin' Together).

Regardless, I have a feeling this record is going to blow IYD out of the water (as much as I loved that album)! Can't wait for Monday (and my record) to arrive!

Now you've forever ruined the song for me because I'll never get Bong Water out of my mind.

This sparks my interest in starting a thread where Stevie's song titles or lyric lines are converted to drug references. What fun!

It may be WAY early for me to judge. I've listened to the whole thing all the way through about five times so far (I was awake til almost 3am last night) but I DEFINITELY think it blows IYD away!!! It's not better than the "holy trilogy" of the 80's (BD, WH & RAL) but it comes in 4th place for me...way above TOSOTM, SA & TISL as well!

It really is a fantastic album and I'm extremely looking forward to Monday and Tuesday to read all your reviews. It was nice to get the album early but it's kind of no fun right now because I don't have anyone to talk to about it.

this is funny ... coz my holy trinity (which I have even called that) is RAL/TOSOTM/SA
so maybe i will actually like Blue Water ... but low expectations are now held
