A Little Warm Death
Cassandra Wilson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A Little Warm Death
A Little Warm Death won't hurt you none
Come on Relax with me
Let me take away your physicalities

One little warm death coming up
One little warm death with me tonight
A little sweet death
One little cherry breathless mist
Feels like eternity,
There's nobody here, Just you and me

One little warm death coming 'round
One little sweet death with me tonight

In and out of stages
Like the fazes of the moon
It can shine so brightly
Let the fullness soon come soon come soon

But now I feel you near me
See you much more clearly
I can hardly wait to
Feel you moving through my world oh my world

Isn't deep without you

One little warm death?. Come have one [Repeat: x 3]
Little warm death with me tonight

In and out of stages
Like the fazes of the moon
We can shine so brightly
Let the fullness soon come soon come soon

But now I feel you near me
See you much more clearly and
I can hardly wait to
Feel you moving through my world oh my world

Isn't deep without you

One little warm death?. Come have one [Repeat: x 3]
Little warm death with me tonight
?My arms tonight





Don't be afraid [Repeat: x 3]
One One little warm death
