Caramel

It isn't love, but pain, that makes you brave A secret wire you walk but still remain devoted Quaking like we're old lovers Aching in the dark Wondering, who could be the one to melt your heart I've seen love, vast as oceans Melt like blood I see your silhouette across the night It makes me sad 'cause you're so beautiful Lover, don't wait too long After all this bitterness It tastes like caramel After all this bitterness Delicious as caramel And it's like seeing the sun again After years of only pouring rain on my soul It doesn't matter now Just to know it's possible Is all I ever dreamed You give me strength I don't know why Resurrect me from the pyre And it's the sweet death of your pain After all this bitterness Caramel There's nothing I could do to make it right And nothing I could say to make the dark seem brighter But here's the one that paints wishes Riding on a star Here's the one that can make a fire From just a spark Lure me out, in the desert And call me home It tastes like caramel After all this bitterness Delicious as caramel And it's like seeing the sun again After years of only pouring rain on my soul It doesn't matter now Just to know it's possible Is all I ever dreamed You give me strength I don't know why Resurrect me from the pyre And it's the sweet death of your pain After all this bitterness Caramel --- Caramel - Corinne Bailey Rae
