Sister Testo

You say he feels it
his face reveals it
my sweet trepidation
an eagerness of my own
a shiver slips through my bones
can you see cobblestone roads
running through his stare
he's so clandestine

he's travelled 'round the world

but no man's an island
no man's an artesian well
he loves the cathedral bell
it sings about him
when he goes home at night
