[Verse 1]
Baby, you came in warm
Like rain on dry cane
Palm to my back
And the room forgot my name
You had that slow walk
Like a river with a plan
Every step said sugar
Every look said, "Come again"
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the porch got a sway
Moon on the wood
Your breath at my ear
Talking mean, talking good
And I lean, and I lean
Like a reed in the flood
You got that kind of touch
Turns my iron to mud
[Chorus]
Sugar on the wind
Sugar on the wind
You shake my roots again
Sugar on the wind
Ride me like a wave
Soft and unashamed
Sugar on the wind
Say my secret name
[Verse 2]
I got a little blue note
In the crack of my throat
You strike one sweet chord
And my whole chest floats
Like a backroad church bell
Like drumskin and rain
You pull that thread loose
Then you tie me again
Your hands speak in riddles
Your mouth speaks in fire
I was wood on the porch
Now I’m all string and wire
[Pre-Chorus]
Let the night bend low
Let the doors stay wide
You move like a spell
I got nowhere to hide
And I lean, and I lean
Let the whole world spin
You got that kind of love
Let the heat pour in
[Chorus]
Sugar on the wind
Sugar on the wind
You shake my roots again
Sugar on the wind
Ride me like a wave
Soft and unashamed
Sugar on the wind
Say my secret name
[Bridge]
Ooh, you the tide
Ooh, I’m the shore
You come with the moon
And I beg for more
Not a single word
Can tame this flame
You touch that hidden door
And I answer the same
[Chorus]
Sugar on the wind
Sugar on the wind
You shake my roots again
Sugar on the wind
Ride me like a wave
Soft and unashamed
Sugar on the wind
Say my secret name
[Outro]
Mm, sugar on the wind
Mm, sugar on the wind
Let it roll, let it roll
Sugar on the wind
