Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I found you in the cane field
Bent like a green prayer
Sun on your shoulders
Honey in your hair
You were a river with a slow grin
Cutting through my skin
I was a dry-mouth man
Till you pulled me in
[Pre-Chorus]
Now my heart got a leaning
Like a porch in the rain
You say my name
And it changes shape again
[Chorus]
You sweet like sugarcane
You bend but don’t break
You pull me like the tide
Then you slip away
You sweet like sugarcane
Stay on my tongue
(oh, stay on my tongue)
You make a hard man
Sing like one
[Verse 2]
Your love like molasses
Dripping through the dark
Slow burn in the skillet
Fire in the heart
You laugh like a bottle
Passed hand to hand
You turn my stormy temper
Into a clapping band
[Pre-Chorus]
And I tried to hold water
In a tobacco tin
But your touch got a wisdom
I can’t keep in
[Chorus]
You sweet like sugarcane
You bend but don’t break
You pull me like the tide
Then you slip away
You sweet like sugarcane
Stay on my tongue
(oh, stay on my tongue)
You make a hard man
Sing like one
[Bridge]
If I was the river bed
You were the flood
If I was the thorn tree
You were the blood
You rose up in me
Like Sunday smoke
With a little bit of salt
And a whole lot of hope
[Chorus]
You sweet like sugarcane
You bend but don’t break
You pull me like the tide
Then you slip away
You sweet like sugarcane
Stay on my tongue
(oh, stay on my tongue)
You make a hard man
Sing like one
[Outro]
You make a hard man
Sing like one
(sing like one)
You make a hard man
Sing like one

Style
Delta blues and soul with a funk pocket and Caribbean-soul lift, slow-swung but forward-moving; verse rides brushed guitar, hand percussion, and a dry bass pulse, pre-chorus opens with organ swells and clapped accents, chorus hits with stacked gospel harmonies and a chantable hook. Lead vocal stays close-mic and gritty in verses, doubled and ad-libbed on the chorus. Add harmonica slides, reversed cymbal swells, and a short steel-drum flourish between lines. Mix is warm, earthy, and wide with punchy low end., funk, soul, blues, gospel
