Palm wine kisses, palm wine kisses

Verse

One cup between us, calabash worn smooth

Pour it slow, watch the froth make room

Your mouth touch the rim before it reach mine

Harmattan dust settling, lantern light shine

I taste where your lips been, sweet and wild

Courtyard quiet, just the crickets and the fire

Uncle's radio crackling something old

You pass it back slow, I take what you hold

Pre-Chorus

So who go finish it, who go stay

Cup keep going round till the break of day

Say the wine dey sweet but I swear it's you

Every sip I take, I dey taste you too

Chorus

Palm wine kisses, palm wine kisses

Warm on your mouth where the cup just left

Palm wine kisses, palm wine kisses

Slow in my chest, catching my breath

Palm wine kisses, palm wine kisses

Nothing but stars and the smoke and you

Palm wine kisses, palm wine kisses

Pour it again, make the night stay true

Verse

Raffia mat under a mango tree

Your finger trace the froth, then trace on me

Moon climbing up over zinc and clay

You lean in close, got something to say

Cup goes empty, we don't refill

Your breath instead, sweeter, slower still

Skin taste like harmattan and cane

I don't need the bottle, I need you again

Pre-Chorus

So who go finish it, who go stay

Cup keep going round till the break of day

Say the wine dey sweet but I swear it's you

Every sip I take, I dey taste you too

Chorus

Palm wine kisses, palm wine kisses

Warm on your mouth where the cup just left

Palm wine kisses, palm wine kisses

Slow in my chest, catching my breath

Palm wine kisses, palm wine kisses

Nothing but stars and the smoke and you

Palm wine kisses, palm wine kisses

Pour it again, make the night stay true

Bridge

Forget the calabash, forget the cane

Your name is the only taste that remain

No more pouring, no more turns

Just you and me and the low fire burn

Chorus

Palm wine kisses, palm wine kisses

Warm on your mouth where the cup just left

Palm wine kisses, palm wine kisses

Slow in my chest, catching my breath

Palm wine kisses, palm wine kisses

Nothing but stars and the smoke and you

Palm wine kisses, palm wine kisses

Pour it again, make the night stay true
