[A MESSAGE FROM WALTER]

ORIGINALLY APPEARED ON MY 2012 "LIFE OUTSIDE THE TENT" ALBUM.

Since I moved to Mexico in 2015, I've occasionally done solo acoustic shows. In those shows, I started experimenting with doing this old rock song of mine on piano, and found that I enjoyed it as a change of pace. And so it was fun recording this new version with full rock instrumentation but using piano as the main driver of the song.

Here's the video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLW42X9q4sI

lyrics

Aqua Girl
(© 2010 Walter Ehresman)

Hurricane with no pressure drop, and
flash flood with no rain that’s falling;
Monsoon in my heart when I thought symmetry was all our mornings.

Champagne is diluted, and my
left finger is naked, and our
first dance of the evening is an empty spot out on the floor.

[chorus]
Here comes Aqua Girl;
She turns her love off like a faucet;
You think you’re swimming, then you’ve lost your buoyancy;
Only Aqua Girl;
She let’s you drown into her blue eyes;
The water’s fine, and then you’re in the Aral Sea.

Her theme song has no warning, and the
elements are just fickle, and we
fell apart in a moment when I thought our love would last forever;

Now I sit in the rubble, and I
am my own super-hero, ‘cause I
control the flood of the waters from my eyes—it drowns the bitter laughter.
