[verse] I shield myself from burning light While warming myself by the fire bright. Dancing to find delirium Waving my arms until the crickets come Surrendering my spirit to the night. In the passing moon we seek the other The bed we share holds two Somewhere between the pulse of song And the sweat of sacred brew We unite again as we love to do With arms embraced like a tangled knot Sharing what air our lungs have got We dream the dream of the place we go The one space no one else can know If the world had cares we both forgot [chorus] Ohhhhhhhh ah. Ohhhhhhhh ah Let wild cats express What elephants know is true Nothing would exist if not for you. [verse] Bare feet pressed in cooling clay Hiding where the shadows play Smoke and jasmine thread the air Moonlight tangled in our hair Drums awaken what we dare not say Your heartbeat answers distant sound Low and steady, earthward bound Between the thunder and the breeze Skin like river through the trees We rise where root and pulse are found Heat and hush become the same And breath forgets its sovereign name Your lips burn like fire along my skin Night invades the dark within And jungle stars ignite love’s flame chorus] Ohhhhhhhh ah. Ohhhhhhhh ah Let wild cats express What elephants know is true Nothing would exist if not for you. [bridge] The river answers in our veins Soft as monsoon summer rains Two shadows melt, no edge, no seam One pulse beneath the silver gleam Where losing self is all we gain chorus] Ohhhhhhhh ah. Ohhhhhhhh ah Let wild cats express What elephants know is true Nothing would exist if not for you.
