[Verse 1] I saw you by the spice stand Eyes like a lantern flame Gold on your fingertips And I forgot my name You said, "Come closer, darling" Like you knew my moves I was all dust and hunger You were all smooth [Pre-Chorus] One step Then two My heart beat loud for you One look Then heat You pulled the night off me [Chorus] Sands on my palm Sands on my palm You spin me fast You spin me strong Sands on my palm Sands on my palm I lose my way When you come on [Sands on my palm] [Sands on my palm] [Verse 2] Mint in a brass cup Sweet smoke in the air Your laugh hit hard Like trouble with style I tried to play calm You knew I was gone You took my silence And made it a song [Pre-Chorus] One step Then two My heart beat loud for you One look Then heat You pulled the night off me [Chorus] Sands on my palm Sands on my palm You spin me fast You spin me strong Sands on my palm Sands on my palm I lose my way When you come on [Sands on my palm] [Sands on my palm] [Bridge] Let the moon lean low Let the drums get close If I’m gonna fall Let it be for your hold I don’t want to run I don’t want to hide Take my name tonight And keep it inside [Final Chorus] Sands on my palm Sands on my palm You spin me fast You spin me strong Sands on my palm Sands on my palm I lose my way When you come on [Sands on my palm] [Sands on my palm]
