Lyrics Cinnamon And Clove - Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66

Cinnamon And Clove

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
