"Cinnamon And Clove" lyrics - SERGIO MENDES

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
