Cool Water
From the Album Special Days
Sunrise over mountainside, small pebbles kissed by lazy tide
A sleepy village waits for another summer’s long Croatian day
Boat started the mooring cast
Water rippling as the ducks go past
The sound of distant traffic as those who have to work, go on their way
The temperature is rising how hot it’s going to be
But the breeze is gently soothing on my face
Fish are jumping, splashing to the sea
Was there ever such a wondrous place
Cool water, drifting by
Cool water, reflects the sky
Cool water, running through my hands
Cool water
Fresh fish on the barbecue, chilled wine for a glass or two
Good friends all around me reminding me of how good life can be
Cards played by the waterside, sunsets on the distant tide
Another day is passing in this tiny village paradise by the sea
The temperature is falling, the sea has turned to silk
The moon is shining brightly from afar
Another day is passing to treasured memories
As the sky fills with gently flickering stars
THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG
This is a song about Mlini, my favourite place in the world. Every day, I wake and remind myself how lucky I am to be living here with such a close family and good friends. The song describes a typical summer’s day in Mlini. Fishing early morning, lunch, siesta, a game of bridge on the terasa and then a barbecue with friends to round the day off. It doesn’t get much better than that
