Everybody Here Wants You Lyrics - Sketches (for My Sweetheart The Drunk) - Jeff Buckley

Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss, a singing smile 

Coffee smell and lilac skin, your flame in me 

Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss, a singing smile 

Coffee smell and lilac skin, your flame in me 

I'm only here for this moment 

I know everybody here wants you 

I know everybody here thinks he needs you 

I'll be waiting right here just to show you 

How our love will blow it all away 

Such a thing of wonder in this crowd 

I'm a stranger in this town, you're free with me 

And our eyes locked in downcast love, I sit here proud 

Even now you're undressed in your dreams with me 

I'm only here for this moment 

I know everybody here wants you 

I know everybody here thinks he needs you 

I'll be waiting right here just to show you 

How our love will blow it all away 

I know the tears we cried 

Have dried on yesterday 

The sea of fools has parted for us 

There's nothing in our way, my love 

Don't you see, don't you see? 

You're just the torch to put the flame 

To all our guilt and shame 

And I'll rise like an ember in your name 

I know, I know 

I know everybody here wants you 

I know everybody here thinks he needs you 

I'll be waiting right here just to show you 

Let me show that love can rise 

Rise just like embers 

Love can taste like the wine of the ages, babe 

And I know they all look so good from a distance 

But I tell you I'm the one 

I know everybody here thinks he needs you 

Thinks he needs you 

And I'll be waiting right here just to show you
