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
