A kitten claws the leafy trees,
A rogue wolf’s deep regret.
Love with you an ocean breeze,
A heart that’s soaking wet.
Then I heard a purring cat,
A tune for the day ahead.
I turn on the thermostat,
And stumble out of bed.
I feel like an aquarium fish,
Swimming in a river full of spate.
I make a happy-go-lucky wish,
Because it is getting late.
Our love is fun and our love is good,
And then I wander home.
Quietly through the neighbourhood,
We talk later on the phone.
This world can be so lonely,
And when it’s dreamt alone.
Like a single ‘one and only’,
And you are all but gone.
I’m here today, the day is done,
You are moving in the shade.
Outside number ‘fifty-one’,
Eyes peer inside our cave.
Although I squint and stare,
Something isn’t right.
There is no form and there is nowhere,
The ghost I saw tonight.
And if you’re not real, then who am I?
The echoes of what we saw?
My soul begins to bow and cry,
And I stay behind this door.
