Your Tongue Like The Sun In My Mouth Lyrics - Sophie B. Hawkins

I met a woman from another time 

I couldnt 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 

Im driven by cars and guitars and her voice 

Ripping up and down my spine 

And now Im 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 filler 

He was my chocolate-colored killer 

He was me 

Im built to run, my will is to deceive 

But you penetrate severely 

I am walking insecurely on my knees 

And I will wait through winter, spring and summer 

If youll fall in love with me 

I will dance so slowly 

You will 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 youll sing 

With my lips or my hands on your hips 

Or my tongue like the sun in your mouth
