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
