Touch Back Down - Catherine Feeny

You can’t tell the truth

Not even to yourself

It hurts too much to admit that it’s in there

You can lie and dissemble with anyone else

But I know you like I know myself

Touch back down will you

Put your feet on the ground and

Stay here with me

Touch back down will you

Let me look at you

As you are

Touch back down

I would love to hold you

I cannot get near you

I would love to show you

But you are shuffling sideways

You think I don’t notice

That you’re slipping away

Touch back down will you

Put your feet on the ground and

Stay here with me

Touch back down will you

Let me look at you

As you are

Touch back down

I have got to learn

Not to go choosing

The ones who don’t choose me

I am always picking

The fruit that’s furthest on the tree

It’s sweetest to me

Touch back down will you

Put your feet on the ground and

Stay here with me

Touch back down will you

Let me look at you

As you are
