A sultry bossa that holds you in that moment just before a kiss...
lyrics
Verse 1
It’s just another day
I’m in my room and there’s no one with me
I think of you just the same
You always come to play my little game
No words at all
You move around, sit a little closer to me
Close my eyes
Serenade me with your melody of lies
Chorus
The hours are ticking over, in this web I’ve woven
We won’t be missed
Nothing else matters, in this ever after
So I take... Just a kiss
Verse 2
The wick is burning low
The air is thick and it’s all around me
Spend a little time
Taking what’s mine
I won’t object to your devotion
To satisfy my needs
So before you leave
You always try to please
Chorus
The hours are ticking over, in this web I’ve woven
We won’t be missed
Nothing else matters, in this ever after
So I take... Just a kiss
Solo
Bridge
So quiet, so quiet, so quiet
So quiet, in my room
So quiet, so quiet, so quiet
So alone again too soon
Chorus
The hours are ticking over, in this web I’ve woven
We won’t be missed
Nothing else matters, in this ever after
So I take... Just a...
The hours are ticking over, in this web I’ve woven
We won’t be missed
Nothing else matters, in this ever after
So I take... Just a kiss.
