Jesca Hoop - Bed Across The Sea lyrics

rate me

LA is hot as fuck

And Manchester is about to freeze

You’re on your way to the mail

To get a letter from me

And as of our separation

At the Ancienne Belgique

I rock you every night

In a bed across the sea

Words are all we have for touch

They are our fingers

And I love our words so much

Write your lips to kiss me now

And I can taste you as I read your words out loud

You rise and start your day

With toast and black tea

While I’m in the still of night and pushing back sleep

And I ride the hands of the clock

Till they fall upon three

And drop me in our virtual garden for eleven seas

Words are all we have for touch

They are our fingers and I love our words so much

And write your hands between my legs

And I can feel you as the words jump from the page

The sky is bruised

It’s a lusty dusk

With lovers rouge

Wet with sap and musk

Under you

Under dream spell dust

And it’s true

And I know that I must

And with you

I immediately trust

And it’s so

That I fell at first blush

And it’s snowing in Australia

Just now your letter came

And the pages did say

That you’ll fly from your home to mine

On January 8th

And just now I find that I can just barely wait

And from now until that time

I’m counting down the days

Words are all we have for touch

They are our fingers and I love our words so much

And write yourself inside me now

And I can feel you as the words come pouring out

Words are all we have for touch

They are our fingers and I love our words so much

Write your dreams out line by line

And I will stitch them in this heart of mine

It’s me

I’m in Australia
