Suzanne Vega – Caramel

It won’t do

to dream of caramel

to think of cinnamon

and long for you.

It won’t do

to stir a deep desire

to fan a hidden fire

that can never burn true.

I know your name

I know your skin

I know the way

These things begin

But I don’t know

how I would live with myself

What I’d forgive of myself

If you don’t go

So goodbye

Sweet appetite

No single bite

Could satisfy

I know your name

I know your skin

I know the way

These things begin

But I don’t know

What I would give of myself

how I would live with myself

if you don’t go.

It won’t do

To dream of caramel

To think of cinnamon

And long for you.
