The Unfinished Sympathy - Little Scratches lyrics

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
