Water From a Vine Leaf
William Orbit Lyrics
And you start swimming and swimming
And swimming, and swimming
And you never stop swimming
Until you reach the ocean
And you're swimming into the sunset
Without me
And I find myself suddenly waking up
And there are four young girls
Giving me water from a vine leaf
Just dropping it onto my tongue
Nothing more, you surround me
Break on through, release me
Nothing more, you surround me
Break on through, release me
Break on through, release me
Break on through, release me

I had a girlfriend who loved to give me lap dances to this song. I've always thought kind thoughts and felt very positive feelings when I listen to this song.

This song still is one of my top ten all time favorites. It never gets old no matter how often I listen to it. Thanks to the uploader!
What Colors the Steel Sky Blue?
masterpiece. Survived the twenty years and still sounds fresh and relevant. Wow.

I got tired of conventional pop music, I wanted something DIFFERENT. This appealed to what I had no name for, but which I now recognize is my cold, cold silicon heart. Yet he invited female singers for a token touch of humanity and soulful sound. Yay William Orbit!
