Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss, a singing smile

Coffee smell and lilac skin, your flame in me

Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss, a singing smile

Coffee smell and lilac skin, your flame in me I'm only here for this moment

I know everybody here wants you

I know everybody here thinks he needs you

I'll be waiting right here just to show you

How our love will blow it all away Such a thing of wonder in this crowd

I'm a stranger in this town, you're free with me

And our eyes locked in downcast love, I sit here proud

Even now you're undressed in your dreams with me I'm only here for this moment

I know everybody here wants you

I know everybody here thinks he needs you

I'll be waiting right here just to show you

How our love will blow it all away I know the tears we cried

Have dried on yesterday

The sea of fools has parted for us

There's nothing in our way, my love Don't you see, don't you see?

You're just the torch to put the flame

To all our guilt and shame

And I'll rise like an ember in your name I know, I know

I know everybody here wants you

I know everybody here thinks he needs you

I'll be waiting right here just to show you

Let me show that love can rise

Rise just like embers Love can taste like the wine of the ages, babe

And I know they all look so good from a distance

But I tell you I'm the one

I know everybody here thinks he needs you

Thinks he needs you

And I'll be waiting right here just to show you
