Everybody Here Wants You

Jeff Buckley

(J.Buckley)

Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss, a singing smile,

coffe smell and lilac skin, your flame in me.

Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss, a singing smile,

coffe smell and lilac skin, your flame in me.

I'm only here for this moment.

I know everybody here wants you.

I know everybody here thinks he needs you.

I'll be waiting right here just to show you

How our love will blow it all away.

Such a thing of wonder in this crowd,

I'm a stranger in this town, you're free with me.

And our eyes locked in downcast love, I sit here proud,

Even now you're undressed in your dreams with me.

I'm only here for this moment.

I know everybody here wants you.

I know everybody here thinks he needs you.

I'll be waiting right here just to show you

How our love will blow it all away.

I know the tears we cried have dried on yesterday

The sea of fools has parted for us

there's nothing in our way, my love

Don't you see, don't you see?

You're just the torch to put the flame

to all our guilt and shame,

And I'll rise like an ember in your name.

You know I, you know I,

I know everybody here wants you.

I know everybody here thinks he needs you.

I'll be waiting right here just to show you

Let me show that love can rise, rise just like

embers.

Love can taste like the win of the ages, babe.

And I know they all look so good from a distance,

But I tell you I'm the one.

I know everybody here thinks he needs you,

thinks he needs you

And I'll be waiting right here just to show you.
