Cinnamon And Clove - Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66

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
