THE SMALL FURRY ANIMAL SONG
I reach out for the chips
And your hand touches mine
At first I pull back from
that invisible line.
I look past your elbow
Your chest, neck and your chin
Past your pouting full lips
That turn up in a grin
Then into your green eyes
But, ah, at such a cost
My brain, it just freezes
And I feel a bit lost
Like a small furry animal
Caught in the headlights
Of your eyes
So bright.
Are you staying forever or
Will you just leave me
As roadside
Debris?
How can I love you
we haven’t said a word?
But, oh, it’s you I want
I know that sounds absurd.
And how I am feeling
I couldn’t possibly care
If it’s only one night
Or every day each year
If only I could speak
I’d tell you this right now
Though all I would say is
Meow Meow Meow
Like a small furry animal
Caught in the headlights
Of your eyes
So bright.
Are you staying forever or
Will you just leave me
As roadside
Debris?
It’s then that I can feel
A twitch upon on my lips
My eyes are moving too
My hand stirs round the chips!
I pull it out and then
give you a shy smile.
That’s when you turn away
laughing all the while.
And now I’m feeling like
I just might have to cry.
Your tracks along my back
Not even a good-bye
To the small furry animal
Caught in the headlights
Of your eyes
So bright.
Who you haven’t noticed and
Then you just left me
As roadside
Debris.
