From the album "Nine Objects Of Desire"
Music & Lyrics by Suzanne Vega
It won"t do
to dream of caramel,
to think of cinnamon
and long for you.
It won"t do
to stir a deep desire,
to fan a hidden fire
that can never burn true.
I know your name,
I know your skin,
I know the way
these things begin;
But I don"t know
how I would live with myself,
what I"d forgive of myself
if you don"t go.
So goodbye,
sweet appetite,
no single bite
could satisfy...
I know your name,
I know your skin,
I know the way
these things begin;
But I don"t know
what I would give of myself,
how I would live with myself
if you don"t go.
It won"t do
to dream of caramel,
to think of cinnamon
and long
for you.
