Your Tongue Like The Sun In My Mouth (Album Version)

Your Tongue Like The Sun In My Mouth - Sophie B. Hawkins
I met a woman from another time
I couldn't think
But a drink from her eyes
Was like water to wine

She wet my dreams with her distinctive mind
I search the desert for a treasure
And a measure of life denied

I'm driven by cars and guitars and her voice
Ripping up and down my spine

And now I'm giving my life for her sight

To be mine

And in her presence
My fate unwinds

For when her essence
Draws me too near

I can taste her with tears

On my tongue

Like the sun
In my mouth.

I met a man who kicked my front door down
He blew in with the Santa Ana winds

And a half cocked hound

He fits my body like a one horse town
And I was drunk like a vagabond on his street
And I lay face down

And I rode his joy like a
Child on a merry go round

I was young in his eyes
I was sweet on his thighs

I was profound

I was shot like a free bird in flight

To the ground.

I woke this morning from a deadly dream
He was my lover he was my killer
He was my chocolate colored filler
He was me

I'm built to run
My will is to deceive
But you penetrate severely
I am walking insecurely

On my knees

And I'll wait through
Winter, spring and summer
If you'll fall in love with me

I will dance so slowly

You'll hardly know I
Breathe

From Rome

To Madrid
To Paris

On the breeze

My scent will find you
Lost by degrees

From time to time you'll
Sing
With my lips

Or my hands
On your hips

Or my tongue

Like the sun
In your mouth

Or my tongue

Like the sun

In your mouth
