about

A song written a LONG time ago alongside another much loved song of mine 'Jericho'. Explores that fear that your true self may be too 'prickly' for someone else to fully accept in a relationship.

lyrics

Cactus

Can you love a cactus?
Are you blind to the lily?
Are roses vain and silly and not your style?
Can you love a cactus?
Are you patient and tough
not afraid of getting rough
and getting wild?

For I’m prickly as all hell
you’ll be pulling out the spines from your smooth hands
but if you stick around for long enough
when I’m strong enough
you’ll see the most beautiful flower

All who have tried
to touch me inside
they bleed & run
but if you dare
to take a risk & care
you just might be the one

Can you love a cactus?
For I’m rare and I’m elusive
and there’s so much here to lose if you’re not game
Can you love a cactus?
For clearly I can see
that you’re as dangerous as me and I don’t mind
