Caspian Tigers

Your eyes awaken and your breath smells of thyme
Tell me is this the last time we kiss
The wind bribes itself into the palm of your hand
And the Caspian tigers they roar

My soul is pitch black honey with
Embellishments of gold
Like sapphires they burn my skin so bad
Why won’t you
Be gentle with me honey or
I will implode
To the sound of your heartbeat in its nest

And there are times when I can’t find the strength to
Get out of bed and realise that you’re gone
And there are nights when I wear my own lungs out
From calling out your name

You’re always running and
Your shoes get worn out
Without warning they’ll walk out the door
You don’t wanna be crystallised
Cuz that’s what men do to you
When you’re on your own

I’m always with you honey
Wherever you may go
Like a swallow I find my own way home

And there are times when I can’t find the strength to
Get out of bed and realise that you’re gone
And there are nights when I wear my own lungs out
From calling out your name

Still there are nights when I can’t find the strength to
Get out of bed and realise that you’re gone
And while I wait for the Caspian tigers
Will you remember me?
