Can you hear me? I don't love anybody else Keep you near me Just like i try to keep myself near All the givers And all the rivers in the world Cannot quench it The arid desert that you Bring to everyone you know I see you counting lovers in the street I see you kissing anybody's feet You are a kitten caught up in a tree I see you climb away Tiny birdling Scrambling for any scraggy tree I am thinking You make your nest where none can be In the summer The streets are waving in the heat I am thinking about the water that you keep In the corners of your mouth Climb away I see you counting lovers in the street I see you licking anybody's feet You are a kitten caught up in a tree You are unreachable by me I see you climb away
