I see in you an animal trace

That's quick in your blond and deep in your face,

Mine has been tamed; I'm shamed to pretend

When I'm this close to your animal skin



I remember when love was something I craved

Bot I settled for less and the comfort it gave,

For living is hard when real love begins

And it leaves heavy lines on your animal skin



Oh, let your arms make a deep night for me

Enclosing my world so I cannot see,

l'll rise with your breath and fall back again

‘Cause you bring me close to my animal skin

You bring me back to where I'd once been

When I'm this close to your animal skin.
