DESCRIPTION:
Brand new, written this morning. Thanks to Joel Spielman for his suggestion to write a song with the words 'blackstrap molasses' in the chorus!

LYRICS
You move in like a river
And steal me like a thief
But you're calmer on the surface
Than your ocean underneath

You don't think I understand it
But I sailed you once before
I learned to find safe harbour
Before the coming storm

You flow like blackstrap molasses, so sweet, the undertow
And now I know I'm gonna sail this boat alone

So meet me at shoreline
But don't try to take me in
'Cause we both know to me you're poison
And I'd be poison if you let me swim

You flow like blackstrap molasses, so sweet, the undertow
And now I know I'm gonna sail this boat alone
You flow like blackstrap molasses, so sweet, the undertow
And now I know I'm gonna sail this boat alone
