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 every body 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 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 you that love can rise, rise just like embers
