About the song
Sting already recorded this song with Last Exit. Their recording features a verse that's not on The Police's version, and is also not featured on Sting's demo which he recorded in Dublin in the summer of 1980.
Just like Demolition Man this song was not used for Zenyatta Mondatta. As Sting didn't want to waste his material he let Grace Jones record Demolition Man,
Strangely enough that additional verse can also be heard on Hot Gossip's cover version of the song that was released in 1981 before The Police even recorded their version.

Now that I have found you In the coolth of your evening smile The shade of your parasol And your love flows through me Though I drink at your pool I burn for you I burn for you You and I are lovers And nighttime falls around our bed In peace we sleep entwined And your love flows through me Though an ocean soothes my head I burn for you I burn for you Stars will fall from dark skies As ancient rocks are turning Quiet fills the room And your love flows through me Though I lie here so still I burn for you I burn for you ...
