Lyrics of
Kiss Me

Kiss Me, performed by Sixpence None the Richer, was strongly inspired by the novel She Came to Stay (LInvitée) by Simone de Beauvoir. It portrays a complex story of love and desire. The song became a global hit, integral to the bands repertoire, and featured in various movies and TV shows.

Kiss me out of the bearded barley.
Nightly, beside the green, green grass.
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step.
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress.
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight.
Lead me out on the moonlit floor.
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance, silver moon's
sparkling. So kiss me.
Kiss me down by the broken tree house.
Swing me upon its hanging tire.
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat.
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map.
Play the interlude using parts of the verse and chorus.
