What's That You're Saying? (Original Song)

Listen/watch in better quality; http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=TgNkr3PJIgA&feature=channel&fmt=18
This tune is the result of two weeks work, mainly cuz of all the overdubs I ended up doing.
I started out with acoustic guitar, electric and bass.
For percussion I used a scraper, a shaker and a couple of stones I found on a beach that I thought would sound good.
Later came the overdubs I didn't film, more guitar and flute, clavi and piano sounds from a keyboard.

Here are the lyrics;
I met you by the shore, you came in on a giant wave of thunder,
Youre a ripple and a whirl and a drop and a curve round the corner.

Whats that youre saying? Whats that youre saying?

I watch you undress and slip into the shower where you stand soaking.
Ive seen you dancing naked in your room, I know your perfume,

Whats that youre saying? Are you leaving or staying?

Sometimes I think Im dreaming and I lose all sense of time.
Sometimes I think youre taking all my reason and my rhyme.

Your laughter is the perfect soundtrack to a picnic by the river,
And if the snakes in the long grass are slowly closing in well I dont see them.

Whats that youre saying? Are you leaving or staying?

So if I give you this song, will you sing it back to me?
Though you say that youre no singer, you can be whatever you want to be.

Everythings just a game, I love the sound of your name, its like thunder,
More green I couldnt be, you love me faithfully yeah when it suits you.

Whats that youre saying? Are you leaving or staying?
My sides are fraying, its me whos paying.

You are honestly a great vocalist, and I think your voice sounds best on your originals, which tells me that you feel what you write, and it comes to you very organically -- though, obviously with a great amount of hard work.
