In this mouth Lyrics by Anoushka Shankar

Love Letters

2019

My name feels safe in your mouth
I like the way you call it out
A baby bird upon your tongue
Caressed, beloved
A baby bird upon your tongue
Caressed, beloved
Can I call for you? Can I cry out?
Can I call your mine? Can I shout?
Does your name feel at home in this mouth?
In this mouth
Does your name feel at home in this mouth?
In this mouth
Are you apart? Do you feel parted, a parting thing?
Have you not laughed, part of you, here with me?
A baby bird upon my tongue
Caressed, beloved
A baby bird upon my tongue
Caressed, beloved
Was it to torture or caress? I confess
A loss of knowing
Lost losses, I've lost my senses
Was it to torture or caress? I confess
A loss of knowing
Lost losses, I've lost my senses
Shackles around my feet, bound and freed
I carry you with
And since you left
I carry your nails on my skin, your breath
I carry you, I carry you, I carry you
On the tip of my tongue, curve of my breast
Folded into my heart, seed of yourself
I call for you; will you come?
Will you move into me, leaving this mouth?
