Rise just like embers
Even now you're undressed in your dreams with me
I'll be waiting right here just to show you

I know everybody here thinks he needs you
The sea of fools has parted for us
Don't you see, don't you see?
I'm a stranger in this town, you're free with me
I know everybody here thinks he needs you
To all our guilt and shame
Love can taste like the wine of the ages, babe

I'm only here for this moment
Let me show that love can rise
Coffee smell and lilac skin, your flame in me
I know everybody here thinks he needs you
I know everybody here wants you
I'll be waiting right here just to show you
I know everybody here wants you
You're just the torch to put the flame
Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss, a singing smile
And I'll rise like an ember in your name
And I know they all look so good from a distance
And I'll be waiting right here just to show you
But I tell you I'm the one

I know everybody here wants you
I know the tears we cried
I'm only here for this moment

I know, I know
And our eyes locked in downcast love, I sit here proud
How our love will blow it all away
How our love will blow it all away
There's nothing in our way, my love
Have dried on yesterday
I know everybody here thinks he needs you

I'll be waiting right here just to show you
Thinks he needs you
Such a thing of wonder in this crowd
