Valentine at Hutong

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Red lantern glow on your cheek Window view The river breathing below Steam curls up from the plates between us You laugh And I forget the cold [Chorus] St Valentine at Hutong Chopsticks and crossed-up knees You steal the last bite Smiling Like you’ve stolen whole years from me St Valentine at Hutong Skyline hanging like a dream If this is just one lucky evening Let it never Never leave [Verse 2] Spice on your lips I taste it You say “This might be the best in town” Candles stutter Waiters glide around us But all I see is you Right now [Bridge] [Harmonica leans in Slow and tender] Breath through a reed Saying what I can’t speak If every note could keep you here I’d play until my fingers bleed [Chorus] St Valentine at Hutong Chopsticks and crossed-up knees You steal the last bite Smiling Like you’ve stolen whole years from me St Valentine at Hutong City fading out to we There’s a whole world on these plates But the only thing I’m hungry for is you (ooh)
