Can I Catch Fire? ©Max Sharam


Has the Fire arrived in town yet?
You haven’t seen him well I cant miss my jet
All I’ve left is my ticket and song
So if you see him – I’ve gone

Our Patterns crossed the Desert like snake tracks in the sand
We entwined for nights – a lifespan
Four years of traveling traced my ideal
I knew it was he when he carried me from my perch on the windowsill

‘My Nightingale Sing’ that’s what he said
When he laid me down on the big feather bed

And he loved me hours, for on, and forever
My desert red lion you’re ever so clever
Can I keep your fire burning with the spark in my eye?
Leave even once without saying goodbye

Can I Catch Fire? Can I Catch Fire?

So I pushed those four years on the trolley to check in (I pushed back the tears)
I’ve gone - so go forget him.
It seemed all we ever said was goodbye
We would meet and we would ponder and we would wonder why

So as I sat in that room for the waiting
Patiently anticipating
I bent down to whisper the word
And he had purchased a ticket to fly with his bird

‘My Nightingale Sing’ that’s what he said
When he laid me down on the big feather bed

I’m yours for as long as you want me he said
Well I’ve been yours since the feather bed.

Can I Catch Fire? Can I Catch Fire?

The desert has sandstorms and whirlwinds and sun and patterns snakes make in the sand when they run. The desert has sandstorms and whirlwinds and sun and patterns snakes make in the sand when they run.

Can I Catch Fire? Can I Catch Fire?

He’s a Fire Sign. Fire Man. Call the Fireman – I’m on Fire!
I’m burning inside.
