Emiliana Torrini - Love Poem Lyrics



Emiliana Torrini - Love Poem Lyrics
Official




When we make love
I feel I'm on the highest mountain
And the hundreds of gods in the golden valley below
Reach up to us
We are the sun

When we make love
There is no bed, no floorboards
No peeling walls, no ceiling
Floating over shrines that rise among the flowers
The only walls your legs and arms entwined
So warm and strong, with mine

When we make love
When we make love

When we make love
Misplaced words align and turn into a poem
Sorrows turn to blossoms
We are ancient and just born
Time happens all at once

When we make love
When we make love

I remember summers smoking cigarettes
Blowing smoke bubbles in a swimming pool
Bikinis and rainbows under sprinklers
When we make love
When we make love

Summer rains on hot streets
Suncream on warm skin
Lemonade and night swims, wearing nothing
When we make love
When we make love

I remember summers smoking cigarettes
Blowing smoke bubbles in a swimming pool
Bikinis and rainbows under sprinklers
When we make love
When we make love

Summer rains on hot streets
Suncream on warm skin
Lemonade and night swims, wearing nothing
When we make love
When we make love

No peeling walls, no ceiling
Floating over shrines that rise among the flowers
The only walls your legs and arms entwined
So warm and strong, with mine

Summer rains on hot streets
Suncream on warm skin
Lemonade and night swims, wearing nothing
When we make love

I remember summers smoking cigarettes
Blowing smoke bubbles in a swimming pool
Bikinis and rainbows under sprinklers
When we make love
When we make love

Summer rains on hot streets
Suncream on warm skin
Lemonade and night swims, wearing nothing
When we make love
When we make love
