Terence Trent D'arby - Perfumed Pavillion lyrics

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 to 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 am not giving up on love But I am not giving up on love Love, sweet love, sweet love
