From Paul McDermott’s interview of John Roderick for Dublin City FM:
“The song ‘Cinnamon’ is actually set in Europe, it’s an example of a story song where the story was really self evident to me as I was writing the song. I thought it was going to be completely obvious to the listener and then I di...
Cinnamon Lyrics
Sun through the curtains
I gave you a sign
The birds all were quiet
You were so quiet
Some hear a call
Some are the messengers
I thumb through the pictures
And know them all
They said, do you remember where you saw her last
I said, her skin is cinnamon, her skin is cinnamon
Do you remember where you saw her last
I said, her skin is cinnamon, her skin is cinnamon
I have too many stories
Keeping it serious
Some are collectors
Keeping it straight
It was a hospital
I was delirious
I clung to the stretcher
I drew them a heart
They said, do you remember where you saw her last
I said, her skin is cinnamon, her skin is cinnamon
Do you remember where you saw her last
I said, her skin is cinnamon, her skin is cinnamon
Her skin is cinnamon
Her skin is cinnamon
Two gondolas to carry us
Gran Via was hilarious
Saint Paul was there to marry us
We lied, we're already married
Cos, here's proof, we have suntans
And I spoke up with my new hands
Listen to my car
What's it telling us
Start... please start... please start
Do you remember where you saw her last
I said, her skin is cinnamon, her skin is cinnamon
Do you remember where you saw her last
I said, her skin is cinnamon, her skin is cinnamon
Is it spring where you are
I waited all winter
Chasing the lamp cords back to the wall
It's a plausible scenario
I clung to the stretcher
I drew them a heart
They said, do you remember where you saw her last
I said, her skin is cinnamon, her skin is cinnamon
Do you remember where you saw her last
I said, her skin is cinnamon, her skin is cinnamon
Her skin is cinnamon
Her skin is cinnamon
Her skin is cinnamon
Her skin is cinnamon
