A lovely song using the metaphor of an intense flavor to add to your tea to make your life sweeter and richer. Beautiful arrangement with guitars, accordion, harmonica, banjo, violin and percussion contrasting with the earthy vocal.

Lyrics
BERGAMOT IS A SMALL SPINY TREE
THE RIND OF ITS FRUIT YIELDS AN OIL
THAT FLAVORS EARL GREY TEA
SIMPLE SOUR PEAR SHAPED FRUIT
REVEALS A LUXURY
OH YOU COULD GIVE THAT PRECIOUS GIFT TO ME
STEAMY FRAGRANCE CURLS INTO THE AIR
CARESSING ME LIKE SILKY THINGS I WEAR
A TINY DROP OF OIL
ADDS SO MUCH TO MY PLAIN DRINK
YOU COULD BE MY BERGAMOT I THINK
COME A LITTLE CLOSER LET ME DRINK MY FILL
LET ME BREATHE YOU INTO MY HEART
I DON’T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND THE MAGIC THAT YOU WIELD
EVEN WHEN WE’RE APART
WILD NICOTIANA BLOOMS AT NIGHT
SWEET INTOXICATION IN THE BLACK STARLIGHT
HEADY BLOSSOMS
EBB AND FLO IN POTENT POWER
YOU COULD BE MY NICOTIANA FLOWER
BRINY WATER SPRAYS UP FROM THE WAVES
ON OCEAN BREEZES; CLINGS TO WALLS IN SHORELINE CAVES
EVERYTHING IT TOUCHES BECOMES OCEAN KISSED
YOU COULD BE MY ANCIENT SALTY MIST
BERGAMOT IS A SMALL SPINY TREE
THE RIND OF ITS FRUIT YIELDS AN OIL
THAT FLAVORS EARL GREY TEA
SIMPLE SOUR PEAR SHAPED FRUIT
REVEALS A LUXURY
OH YOU COULD GIVE THAT PRECIOUS GIFT TO ME
STEAMY FRAGRANCE CURLS INTO THE AIR
CARESSING ME LIKE SILKY THINGS I WEAR
A TINY DROP OF OIL
ADDS SO MUCH TO MY PLAIN DRINK
YOU COULD BE MY BERGAMOT I THINK
COME A LITTLE CLOSER LET ME DRINK MY FILL
LET ME BREATHE YOU INTO MY HEART
I DON’T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND THE MAGIC THAT YOU WIELD
EVEN WHEN WE’RE APART
WILD NICOTIANA BLOOMS AT NIGHT
SWEET INTOXICATION IN THE BLACK STARLIGHT
HEADY BLOSSOMS
EBB AND FLO IN POTENT POWER
YOU COULD BE MY NICOTIANA FLOWER
BRINY WATER SPRAYS UP FROM THE WAVES
ON OCEAN BREEZES; CLINGS TO WALLS IN SHORELINE CAVES
EVERYTHING IT TOUCHES BECOMES OCEAN KISSED
YOU COULD BE MY ANCIENT SALTY MIST
