Love Lurks - Peter Cat

Love lurks

Love lurks in cupboards and under stairs

And love lurks

In vomit-soaked closes

In frigidaires

Love lurks in the spaces between

And I really wish, and I really wish

And I really wish, and I really wish

That as I sleep so fitfully

Yes I really wish, yes I really wish

Yes I really wish, yes I really wish

That you would slip in next to me

With a cold neutrality

Love lurks between you and me

Love lurks in the meal you’ve cooked

Heavy on the thyme

And love lurks in that neon clock

Ticks incessant time

Love lurks in the spaces between

And I really wish, and I really wish

And I really wish, and I really wish

That as I sleep so fitfully

Yes I really wish, yes I really wish

Yes I really wish, yes I really wish

That you would slip in next to me

With a cold neutrality

Love lurks between you and me

And I really wish, and I really wish

And I really wish, and I really wish

That as I sleep so fitfully

Yes I really wish, yes I really wish

Yes I really wish, yes I really wish

That you would slip in next to me

With a cold neutrality

Love lurks between you and me

Love lurks

Love lurks in cupboards and under stairs
