Human Wish

There was an empty seat between the two of them
As he buckled down she stole a glance at him
He caught her… and she smiled
Just then a sudden sneeze escaped her lips
He said, “Salud”… They let it rest at this
Ah-ooooo
And as the plane took off
They both sat back
Her hands folded neatly in her lap
He took a simple note of that
Ah-ooooo
He was a handsome man, a Mexican
She liked his eyes and what they said within
Their broken words didn’t bother them at all
They talked of Presidents and where they’d been
She even tried some Spanish out on him
Ah-ooooo

CHORUS:
These are moments
When you can’t deny
The fleeting promise in a stranger’s eye
And what could be just for an afternoon
Making love in a hotel room
Is this a sinner’s heart?
Or a human wish… to touch someone that you’ve just met?
Skin on skin and fingertips
A last hurrah in the wilderness
Ah-ooo
She told him of a husband and her kids at home
He said he had a wife and two young sons
And then she ran her fingers through her hair…
She, somehow, stopped her heart right there…
She, somehow, stopped her heart right there…
