Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When we make love
I feel I'm on the highest mountain
And the hundreds of gods in the golden valley below
Reach up to us
We are the sun
[Verse 2]
When we make love
There is no bed, no floorboards
No peeling walls, no ceiling
Floating over shrines
That rise among the flowers
The only walls your legs and arms entwined
So warm and strong, with mine
When we make love
When we make love
[Verse 3]
When we make love
Misplaced words align
And turn into a poem
Sorrows turn to blossoms
We are ancient and just born
Time happens all at once
When we make love
When we make love
[Chorus]
I remember summers smoking cigarettes
Blowing smoke bubbles in a swimming pool
Bikinis and rainbows under sprinklers
When we make love
When we make love
[Chorus]
Summer rains on hot streets
Suncream on warm skin
Lemonade and night swims, wearing nothing
When we make love
When we make love
[Chorus]
I remember summers smoking cigarettes
Blowing smoke bubbles in a swimming pool
Bikinis and rainbows under sprinklers
When we make love
When we make love
[Outro]
Summer rains on hot streets
Suncream on warm skin
Lemonade and night swims, wearing nothing
When we make love
When we make love
