[Verse 1]
I’m coming to you so you’ll come,
With night draped across my back,
Like breasts playing hide-and-seek.
Come, my darling! Come!
Upon my tongue, a little boat
That lost its sky upon your shores.
[Chorus]
Come, my darling! Come!
Shake, my darling! Shake!
Sing, my darling! Sing!
Sing, shake, come!
[Verse 2]
Let your silence fill my cries
And claim its place upon my lips,
Like a secret on parade
Beneath the rhythm of fragrant leaves.
Leave my mouth along your streets,
My shadows in your garden’s nook.
Watch me clear the ground for planting.
[Chorus]
Come, my darling! Come!
Shake, my darling! Shake!
Sing, my darling! Sing!
Sing, shake, come!
[Verse 3]
When the universe’s wellspring speaks
In a language steeped in salt and shivers,
We shall linger, motionless,
Innocent on the edge of vertigo,
Lip to lip, kissing life,
Hand in hand, setting the sun ablaze.
[Chorus]
Come, my darling! Come!
Shake, my darling! Shake!
Sing, my darling! Sing!
Sing, shake, come!
[Voiceover]
So be it!
With my hands or with my mouth,
You will always be welcome.
[Chorus]
Come, my darling! Come!
Shake, my darling! Shake!
Sing, my darling! Sing!
Sing, shake, come!
[Outro]
Come, my darling! Come!
Shake, my darling! Shake!
Sing, my darling! Sing!
Sing, shake, come!
[Outro]
Come, my darling! Come!
Shake, my darling! Shake!
Come, my darling! Come!
Sing, shake, come!
[Voiceover]
Sing… come… Shake, my darling.
