Oats in the Water (Single)
Introduction
This song was recorded during the first corona pandemic lockdown in 2020. It is clearly a home recording, done around the kitchen table, but the atmosphere is right, reflecting its gloomy lyrics and the conditions around the time of our session.

Lyrics
Oats in the Water
By Ben Howards
Go your way
I’ll take the long way ’round
I’ll find my own way down
As I should
And hold your gaze
There’s coke in the Midas touch
A joke in the way that we rust
And breathe again
And you’ll find loss
And you’ll fear what you found
When the weather comes
Tearing down
There’ll be oats in the water
There’ll be birds on the ground
There’ll be things you never asked her
How they tear at you now
