Terence Trent D'arby - Perfumed Pavillion (The Motion Of My Memories) lyrics

rate me

I kissed her lips in a perfumed pavillion

And all the subtleties that we could find

Blowing grace notes through my mind

Oh, but her hand brought such sweet pain

The kiss, yet all powerful, saved face twice

And turned your bad seed to grain

Ripping the roots of my heart again

I held her hand in an unchanging moment

She was feeding me love like she was holding a spoon

But her head was turned by a raging moon

And she would be gone by the next afternoon

Hollywood memories are made from times such as these

But, I wouldn't feel sorry for me if I were you

I will make some use of my pain

I'll turn my hurt into a harvest rain

She was aloof like the moon

But warm like the sun

I swore she'd love me

'Til after the day was done

But I was wrong...

She was cool like ice

But she felt like fire

Never thought I'd see her love expire

But now she's long gone

(Gone away to another man's hideaway)

I kissed her lips in a perfumed pavillion

But I am not giving up on love

I stand in a long tide openly...

Stealing back moments I let slip away from me

You know, peace of mind beats 2 aces easily

As the cross currents of the ocean

Reminds me of her motion

The motion of my memories

(The motion of my memories)

Yeah

Listen to me people

I kissed her lips in a perfumed pavillion

But I have not giving up on love

But I have not giving up on love

Love... sweet love... sweet love
