Icarus

    Caterpillar Kisses

    2008

    We took a walk in London’s park
    That balmy summer’s day
    We let off steam
    And dared to dream
    As stars came out to play
    And we were dancing in the dark

    We sat beneath the verdant trees
    Upon that bench of love
    While all around
    We heard the sound
    Of whispers from above
    And so we listened to the leaves

    We filled our hearts with wishes
    Upon that first bright star
    We cast away
    Our cares that day
    But best of all by far
    Were all those caterpillar kisses
