[Verse 1] I taste the last fig, then I take one more Sweet on my tongue, heavy at the core Your hand in mine says, “Stay till the dawn” I spend tomorrow before it is born [Pre-Chorus] A little more feels like a little relief Till the cupboard is bare and the promise is brief [Chorus] Give me the feast, give me the kiss, give me the shine I want the whole table, your heart, what is mine Honey on the mouth, gold slipping through hands The pleasure is real—but it won’t understand [Verse 2] We laugh over plates while the rent waits outside You call it a gift; I call it a ride One more small purchase, one more sweet vow The bill has a voice and it’s speaking now [Bridge] Keep one ripe pear, keep one promise true Leave room in the wallet, leave room for you [Final Chorus] Give me the feast, give me the kiss, give me the shine I’ll choose what can stay when the wanting declines Honey on the mouth, gold kept in hand Let joy have a seat—but not the whole land [Outro] Not the whole land
