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
