Sergio Mendes - Cinnamon and Clove lyrics

The moonlight warms the silver sand A seabird sails across a cove The water's crystal in your hand The air is cinnamon and clove The tempo's easy as you please From ev'ry lemon yellow morning Through velvet ev'ning With breezes singing The air is cinnamon and clove The air is cinnamon and clove Seductive cinnamon and clove So come to my arms I long for your kiss The taste of the sea Salty sweet upon your lips There's love to be made On nights such as this And time is but sand Sifting through our fingertips The moon is like a tangerine Adrift upon a sea of lights A world where nothing comes between These salty days and sultry nights Where ev'ry slice of life and love Has just the perfect combination A cup of sweetness A pinch of sadness A touch of cinnamon and clove The air is cinnamon and clove Seductive cinnamon and clove A Touch of cinnamon and clove
