Spices Lyrics - Phish

Odors in the evening mist 

spices that you can't resist 

Curl around and resound 

through caverns that the breeze has kissed 

Drawn inside, you hear a tone 

as each foot hits a stepping stone 

The music soothes and calms your mood 

but suddenly you're not alone 

A single cloud within a storm 

descends and leaves behind a form 

Someone that you knew appears in front of you 

A woman's figure, rain-cloud-born 

She blinks but doesn't see you yet 

she shivers and is soaking wet 

You cross the sand and take her hand 

a lifetime passed since last you met 

Centuries now fall away 

(expand the years) ?? since yesterday 

When you were young and in the sun 

you let your woman slip away 

You take the hands that you have missed 

and kiss the lips you haven't kissed 

for many years 

taste the tears 

Spices that you can't resist
