The Cat's Lament

Verse 1

In the shadows, he finds his rest

Once a stray, now he's blessed

Waiting quietly for the sound

Of footsteps echoing around[Chorus]

Black cat waiting, there by the door

Under the moon, on the kitchen floor

Dreams of the night, when he would roam

Now he waits there, longing for home

Verse 2

In the alleys, he learned his way

Finding scraps to last the day

Memories of the streets so wild

Now he's a gentle, waiting child

Pre-Chorus

Oh, the nights used to be cold

Without a friend, without a fold

But now he knows the love that's true

And he's no longer feeling blue

Chorus

Black cat waiting, there by the door

Under the moon, on the kitchen floor

Dreams of the night, when he would roam

Now he waits there, longing for home

Post-Chorus

La, la, la, waiting there

La, la, la, with gentle care

La, la, la, the night gone by

La, la, la, beneath the sky

Verse 3

Then he hears the key in the lock

Master's home, it's six o'clock

A gentle pat and food in his bowl

And warmth settles into his soul[End]
