5. Little scratches

Across the plains and mountain tops

Her silent call that never stops

Sparkle from a flash machine

Who put the sunshine on your skin?

Little scratches 'round my hands

Little scratches, up in my head, down in my toes

A greedy-eyed cat lives up the block

And I keep my food under lock

Her eyebrows wave like serpentines

To trace these marks upon my skin

Little scratches 'round my hands

Little scratches, up in my head, down in my toes

Little scratches 'round my hands

Little scratches 'round my heart

One day when love comes back

I'll put it on your track

Beyond the peaks and snows

Or one thousand miles below

And when I get undressed

And healed with your caress

I'll kiss you like I swore

One thousand times, or more

One thousand times, or more
