Suzane Vega - Caramel

Una cancioncita mientras esperamos el triunfo de Obama. Es de Suzane Vega, del CD "Nine Objects of Desire". Me fascina como combina los sentidos, el deseo de algo que se come con el deseo por alguien. es lo que se escucha en mi casa en estos días.
Aquí va la letra:

Caramel

It won't do
to dream of caramel,
to think of cinnamon
and long for you.

It won't do
to stir a deep desire,
to fan a hidden fire
that can never burn true.

I know your name,
I know your skin,
I know the way
these things begin;

But I don't know
how I would live with myself,
what I'd forgive of myself
if you don't go.

So goodbye,
sweet appetite,
no single bite
could satisfy...

I know your name,
I know your skin,
I know the way
these things begin;

But I don't know
what I would give of myself,
how I would live with myself
if you don't go.

It won't do
to dream of caramel,
to think of cinnamon
and long
for you.
